Who We Are
At Clearly Filtered, our mission is to help people live well, starting with the water they drink.

Manage the fulfillment network and hold 3PL partners to defined performance standards.
  • Own DTC parcel shipments, final mile delivery, and inventory transfers across the fulfillment network
  • Manage carrier relationships and ensure compliance with Amazon FBA/FBM, routing guides, and labeling standards
  • Build and own a structured 3PL scorecard covering cost per unit, on-time rates, accuracy, and billing
  • Drive root cause analysis and hold partners accountable through documented corrective action plans

Team Leadership & Warehouse Operations
Directly lead the Warehouse & Fulfillment team and set the standard for how work gets done.
  • Directly manage and develop the Warehouse & Fulfillment team
  • Set clear performance expectations, deliver effective feedback, and build a team culture rooted in accuracy, throughput, safety, and continuous improvement
  • Maintain warehouse organization, safety standards, and equipment readiness

Reporting & Process
Own the data and SOPs that keep logistics operations visible, scalable, and continuously improving.

  • Enforce vendor packaging, labeling, and compliance requirements on inbound shipments

What You Bring
Required
  • 5+ years in logistics, global freight, or supply chain operations in a DTC or consumer products environment
  • Demonstrated experience managing international inbound freight (ocean, air, road) including freight forwarder relationships, customs documentation, and landed cost management
  • Experience managing 3PL relationships with structured performance accountability, scorecards, SLA management, and corrective action
  • Strong analytical skills; comfortable building cost comparison models, freight rate analyses, and performance reports independently
  • Proven solutions orientation, approaches constraints as problems to solve
  • Direct management experience leading a warehouse or fulfillment team

Preferred
  • Familiarity with Amazon FBA/FBM compliance requirements and inbounding processes
  • Experience with carrier rate negotiation and freight cost optimization
  • Exposure to 3PL network strategy evaluation, site selection, cost modeling, partner comparison frameworks

What Success Looks Like

  • 3PL partners are managed to defined standards with documented corrective actions when gaps arise
  • POs are placed accurately and on time, executed against the supply plan
  • The Warehouse & Fulfillment team operates to clear standards without requiring escalation for routine issues
  • Freight and fulfillment costs are tracked, benchmarked, and continuously optimized

What We Offer

  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid holidays, floating holiday, and PTO
