• Execution Partner: Fill gaps—from vendor coordination to special projects—to maintain momentum.
• SOP Creation: Assisting the CEO with creating SOPs to standardize workflows.
• OKRs / EOS Alignment: Assisting the CEO with incorporating OKRs (or EOS) to drive quarterly goals.

• Prior management consulting, investment banking, VC, or PE experience is a plus.
• Bachelor’s in Business, Finance, Logistics/Supply Chain, or related field; MBA a plus.
• Bonus: Freight, logistics, or supply chain experience.

Why Join Us

• Mission-driven culture: A values-first company with service at the core.
• High-impact exposure: Work closely with the CEO and leadership on scaling a logistics business.
• Shape the future: Help design systems, processes, and culture.
• Clear career trajectory: Growth opportunities as the company expands.
