Full-Time, Benefits Eligible

Reports To:

Director of Logistics

Direct Reports:
Logistics Coordinator

Gymreapers is a high‑growth ecommerce brand selling premium fitness and lifting gear across Shopify DTC, Amazon, Tik Tok Shop, and major retail partners including Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Scheels. We source product internationally and fulfil domestically from our internalised warehouse operation, with freight spend growing in line with aggressive revenue targets.

We are seeking a Logistics Manager to own the strategy, design, and performance of our logistics network. This is not a coordination role — we have a strong Logistics Coordinator who handles day‑to‑day execution. This role is for someone who can operate at a higher level: designing the carrier and freight network, owning carrier relationships and contract negotiations, identifying structural cost and service improvements, and building the logistics infrastructure that scales with the business.

You will set the direction for how product moves — inbound from overseas and outbound to every customer and retail partner — and hold carriers, brokers, and 3PLs accountable to that standard. The right candidate thinks in network design and unit economics, not just shipment tracking.

• Logistics Network Design and Strategy:
  Own the design and ongoing optimisation of Gymreapers’ freight network — inbound and outbound — to deliver the best combination of cost, speed, and reliability at scale.
  • Design and continuously evaluate the inbound freight network: origin consolidation strategy, port selection, mode mix (ocean vs. air), and routing from overseas vendors to the DC
  • Develop and maintain the outbound network strategy: carrier mix, zone skipping opportunities, regional carrier utilisation, and mode selection by channel and order profile
  • Model freight network scenarios to quantify trade‑offs between cost, transit time, and service level — and make recommendations with clear unit economics
  • Lead the evaluation and selection of new carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, and logistics partners as the network evolves
  • Build the logistics roadmap in partnership with the Director of Logistics: what the network needs to look like at $150M+ and what investments and changes get us there
• Carrier Ownership and Contract Management:
  Own all carrier and logistics partner relationships at the strategic level — from contract negotiation through ongoing performance accountability.
  • Lead carrier RFPs and contract negotiations for parcel, LTL, ocean, air, and drayage — owning rate, service terms, and performance SLAs
  • Maintain carrier scorecards and drive formal quarterly business reviews with key carriers and freight partners
  • Hold carriers accountable to contracted performance — escalate failures, enforce SLA remedies, and manage carrier exits when warranted
  • Own the carrier diversification strategy — ensuring Gymreapers is not overexposed to any single carrier or lane
  • Manage the Amazon partnered carrier programme relationship and optimise FBA transportation costs and compliance
• Freight Cost Ownership and Unit Economics:
  Own logistics cost as a business metric — managing spend against budget and driving structural cost reduction across all freight modes.
  • Own freight cost per unit as a KPI across inbound and outbound modes — tracking weekly, reporting monthly, and driving toward targets
  • Identify and execute structural cost reduction initiatives: consolidation, zone optimisation, mode shift, contract renegotiation, and routing improvements
  • Build and maintain a freight cost model that reflects current network performance and projects forward costs under different volume and mix scenarios
  • Manage freight budget in partnership with the Director of Logistics and finance — owning variance explanation and forecasting
  • Oversee freight audit programme in partnership with the Logistics Coordinator — ensuring billing accuracy and recovering overcharges
• Trade Compliance and International Freight Strategy:
  Ensure all import activity is compliant, optimised for duty…
