Job Description

LHH Recruitment Solutions has partnered with a growing organization, and they are seeking a motivated Traffic and Logistics Manager -- Manufacturing / Distribution Environment to join their team. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in hands‑on operations, enjoys improving processes, and values being the primary technical authority within the manufacturing function.

This role is ideal for a logistics professional who thrives in fast-paced, constantly shifting environments, enjoys managing complexity, and excels at coordinating production, packing, and outbound shipment schedules under tight customer-driven timelines.

This position owns the day-to-day coordination and execution of outbound logistics and shipment routing, ensuring time-sensitive orders move accurately and on schedule. The role partners closely with manufacturing and packing teams and plays a critical role in meeting strict customer delivery requirements (including 48-hour ship windows for major retailers).

• Collaborate closely with manufacturing, scheduling, and packing operations to align production output with outbound capacity.
• Oversee shipment documentation, customer portals, and order compliance requirements.
• Monitor shipment status, transit timing, and exceptions — proactively resolving issues as priorities shift.
• Maintain accurate logistics records, reporting, and administrative controls within a TMS environment.
• Drive process consistency and operational improvements focused on accuracy, efficiency, and on-time performance.
• Serve as a key internal point of contact between operations, customer service, and logistics execution.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor’s Degree in supply chain management, logistics, or related field.
• 5+ years of leadership experience within traffic, logistics, or transportation coordination.
• Previous experience working at a manufacturing or distribution organization.
• Strong experience with shipment routing and execution.
• Proven success in high-volume, detail-heavy, administrative logistics environments.
• Experience supporting or coordinating production and packing line schedules.
• Demonstrated ability to pivot quickly and manage competing priorities in fast-moving operations.
• Comfort working with tight customer ship windows and service-level expectations.
• Hands-on experience using Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and logistics technology.
• Highly organized, process-oriented, and technologically proficient.
• Regular interaction with plant and operations teams.
• Fast-paced, deadline-driven environment requiring adaptability and decisiveness.
