Freight Manager

We are hiring a Freight & Logistics Manager to lead inbound transportation and international logistics operations within a manufacturing environment.

This role is responsible for ensuring cost-effective, timely delivery of materials across domestic and international channels. The ideal candidate brings strong experience in global shipping, customs compliance, and freight cost optimization.

What You’ll Own:

• Management of inbound transportation via road, air, and sea
• Carrier, freight forwarder, and broker relationships
• Rate negotiations and service level performance
• Freight cost optimization (consolidation, routing, and mode analysis)
• Incoterms strategy and execution
• Customs documentation and import/export compliance
• Audit support and logistics reporting accuracy

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of freight/logistics experience (manufacturing preferred)
• Strong working knowledge of Incoterms and international shipping
• Experience navigating customs clearance processes
• Proven ability to analyze freight spend and drive cost savings
• Experience managing carrier performance and contracts

This is a strategic logistics role focused on protecting supply continuity, reducing freight spend, and ensuring global compliance — not a transactional coordinator position.
