Temp Elite Logistics Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Vice President Global Logistics

• Title: Vice President Global Logistics
• Location: Columbus OH
• Compensation: $270,000 to $350,000 + Bonus + LTIP + Exciting Benefits

A fast-growing, Multi-Billion-Dollar manufacturing business is looking to hire a new world-class VP Global Logistics, 2 levels down from the CEO, to help lead Transformational change, Centralization, and Scale-up of the Logistics & Supply Chain programs across the NA, EMEA, and APAC regions. With an exceptional platform for career growth, opportunity to "Build" + "Scale" a legacy operation, this is very much a business and job opportunity that one will look back on and say "Right Place, Right Time".

Key Responsibilities:

• Global Network Redesign & Distribution Footprint Optimization


• Execute an Enterprise-Wide Network Overhaul: Conduct a deep diagnostic of the current global logistics footprint and lead decisive actions to streamline, reposition, and right-size warehouses, cross-docks, and fulfillment points to remove duplication and materially lower endtoend supply chain costs.
• Orchestrate EndtoEnd Material Flow: Integrate previously disconnected regional logistics movements into a single, harmonized global flow that stabilizes lead times and unlocks working capital by reducing excess buffer stock.
• Standardize the Global Operating Backbone: Replace fragmented regional practices with a unified operating framework, common processes, shared metrics, aligned safety standards, and consistent service expectations worldwide.
• Engineer for Future Growth: Design a scalable, durable network that can absorb 2-3 volume increases while keeping cost growth disproportionately low, ensuring longterm operational leverage.


• Logistics Recovery & Operational Excellence


• Fix Root Causes, Not Symptoms: Tackle persistent service breakdowns and structural cost inefficiencies with durable system changes rather than temporary workarounds.
• Build True Cost Visibility: Develop detailed, multi-dimensional insight into logistics costs across geographies, products, and customers, enabling informed margin decisions instead of static budget management.
• Make Service Reliability NonNegotiable: Establish OTIF performance as a baseline expectation, delivering the predictability and execution discipline required by the company's mission-critical customer base.


• Digital Enablement & Advanced Analytics


• Modernize the Technology Core: Transition away from manual, spreadsheet-driven execution toward an integrated digital ecosystem anchored by bestinclass TMS, WMS, and centralized control tower capabilities.
• Deploy Smart Automation: Identify and implement targeted, highreturn automation initiatives across warehousing, transportation planning, and network optimization using AI and advanced algorithms.
• Shift to Predictive Operations: Equip the organization with modeling, simulation, and scenario tools that enable proactive decisionmaking rather than reactive problem solving.


• Global Procurement, Trade, and Ecosystem Strategy


• Simplify and Strengthen the Partner Landscape: Reduce complexity across the carrier and 3PL ecosystem while negotiating global, enterprise-level agreements that maximize scale advantages and strategic alignment.
• Optimize Cross-Border Execution: Redesign international trade flows and customs strategies to increase velocity, reduce friction, and improve resiliency across key global corridors.
• Clarify Ownership Decisions: Define a clear insource-versus-outsource philosophy to balance control, flexibility, and scalability across logistics capabilities.


• Transformation Leadership & Talent Development


• Lead a Mindset Shift: Move regional organizations from autonomous, localized decision-making toward a globally integrated network mentality that prioritizes enterprise outcomes.
• Build a World-Class Logistics Organization: Identify skill gaps, attract elite logistics talent, and actively develop a succession pipeline capable of leading the company's global logistics organization into the future.

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• 15+ years experience in Global Logistics
• 7+ years in Industrial Manufacturing
• Project & Strategic accomplishments around Transformational Change
• Warehousing & Transportation Leadership experience
• Strong process improvement & cost saving track record
• Experience with managing teams of direct reports
• Bachelor's Degree
