📋 Description

• Manage end-to-end transport of IT hardware — rack systems, servers, and other data center equipment — across all lanes: domestic US moves, inbound international shipments (primarily from Taiwan-based suppliers), and outbound from the US as required. • Coordinate inbound freight scheduling for both domestic and international shipments, including ocean and air freight from Taiwan and other origins, managing carrier selection and delivery execution to ensure on-time, damage-free arrival. • Handle all RMA and RMS shipments, including coordination with vendors, carriers, and internal teams to ensure accurate and timely processing. • Manage equipment transfers between company warehouses and data center facilities, optimizing routes and minimizing handling risk. • Maintain full visibility over active shipments and proactively resolve transit issues, delays, or exceptions. • Develop contingency plans and alternative routing strategies to ensure business continuity. • Manage time-critical air freight shipments where required, including carrier selection, booking, and end-to-end tracking to ensure expedited delivery of hardware. • Coordinate closely with data center operations teams to support staging, buffering, and just-in-time hardware deployment. • Maintain accurate in-transit inventory records and ensure proper chain-of-custody documentation for all shipments. • Manage all shipment-related documentation in relevant systems (Jira, TMS, or equivalent), ensuring records are complete, accurate, and audit-ready. • Process and reconcile logistics invoices; manage payments for transportation operations, including ZIP payments to the appropriate vendors and partners. • Work with the security team to establish and maintain secure shipment protocols and ensure compliance with physical security requirements. • Ensure all shipments comply with applicable regulations — including DOT requirements for domestic moves and US import/export regulations, customs clearance processes, and trade compliance requirements for international freight. • Maintain audit-ready documentation for all logistics activities, supporting internal (SOX) and external compliance requirements. • Establish and enforce SLAs and KPIs with freight carriers and 3PL partners; drive accountability through regular performance reviews. • Identify and escalate compliance gaps or process deviations, implementing corrective actions as needed. • Partner with hardware engineering, procurement, finance, and data center operations to align logistics execution with deployment timelines and business priorities. • Collaborate with OEM suppliers (e.g., Giga, ASUS), primarily based in Taiwan, to coordinate international shipping windows, batch tracking, customs documentation, and inbound scheduling into US facilities. • Act as the primary escalation point for US transport-related issues across internal teams and external partners. • Drive continuous improvement initiatives through KPI tracking, root cause analysis, and process standardization. • Forecast transportation demand based on data center expansion plans, hardware deployment schedules, and capacity needs. • Identify cost optimization opportunities through carrier consolidation, routing improvements, and smarter scheduling. • Track and report on logistics costs, flagging variances and recommending corrective actions. • Support data-driven decision-making through regular reporting, dashboards, and operational analytics.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in transportation, freight, or logistics management — ideally within technology, data center, or hardware supply chain environments. • Proven experience managing both domestic and international freight operations, including LTL/FTL, ocean freight, and air freight shipments, carrier and forwarder relationships, and 3PL coordination. • Hands-on experience with RMA/RMS shipment processes and reverse logistics flows. • Familiarity with TMS platforms, Jira, or similar systems used for shipment tracking and documentation. • Strong understanding of US domestic carrier regulations, DOT requirements, and international freight compliance including customs clearance and import/export procedures. • Experience managing large, heavy, or high-value freight (server racks, IT infrastructure equipment) is strongly preferred. • Excellent organisational and documentation skills with a high standard for accuracy and completeness. • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to work cross-functionally across technical and non-technical teams. • Self-starter mindset with the ability to operate independently in a remote environment. • Based in the United States; East Coast or Midwest location required (ET/CT time zones), to support overlap with European business hours.
