logistics manager

Operations flow director

A logistics manager oversees the movement and storage of goods within a supply chain—coordinating transportation, warehousing, inventory, and distribution to ensure products reach their destinations efficiently.

The role involves planning routes, managing costs, and solving problems when shipments go wrong: The logistics manager rerouted everything when the port strike hit.

In large organizations, logistics managers may specialize in inbound materials, outbound delivery, or reverse logistics like returns.
