Warehouse Shipping Lead

Who We Are:

Porter Logistics is a fast-growing third-party logistics (3PL) provider
 redefining modern warehousing and fulfillment. Headquartered in Atlanta, we've
 grown over the past decade from a two-person operation in a 10,000-square-foot
 warehouse to an organization supporting more than 1 million square feet across
 multiple Georgia facilities.

 We're trusted by some of the world's most recognized brands, but here's what
 really sets us apart: we build careers, not fill roles. Many of our leaders
 started in entry-level positions and grew with us.

 This is a tight-knit team where leaders know you by name, your work creates
 visible impact every single day and hard work gets rewarded with real
 opportunities. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want your decisions
 to directly drive results, keep reading.

The Role:

As the Shipping Lead, you own outbound. Every order that leaves this building is
 your responsibility. You'll lead the daily shipping operation in a high-volume,
 95% LTL facility, partnering with the Outbound Lead to solve order issues in
 real time and ensure every shipment is right before it rolls out the door.
 You'll review shipping paperwork, check in drivers, confirm loads are correct
 and step in on the dock to help when the operation needs it.

 This is a hands-on leadership role. You won't manage from a desk. You'll be on
 the floor, in the details and setting the standard for your team every day.
