In addition to supporting day-to-day logistics operations, this role will help identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency, logistics workflows, and supply chain visibility as Arable continues building scalable and AI-ready operational systems.

What you will do:

  • Coordinate with external carriers to schedule pickups and deliveries

  • Monitor inventory levels across multiple warehouse locations and escalate potential shortages or discrepancies

  • Support reverse logistics and product return processes

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Customer Success, Supply Chain, Operations, and Finance teams to improve supply chain visibility and responsiveness

  • Maintain accurate data flow between ERP and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)

  • Assist with month-end inventory and warehouse reconciliations

  • Support vendor coordination, purchase order tracking, and delivery timeline management

  • Help identify opportunities to improve logistics workflows, operational efficiency, and data integrity

  • Ensure operational processes are followed consistently and accurately

Requirements:

  • 2+ years of experience in logistics, supply chain, warehouse operations, or a related field

  • Understanding of shipping terminology and general logistics workflows from origin to destination

  • Experience working with ERP systems and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS); familiarity with tools such as NetSuite, Oracle, or HubSpot is a plus

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

  • Experience with purchasing, vendor coordination, inventory reconciliation, or process improvement initiatives is a plus

Location & Work Environment:

  • Full-time temporary assignment (minimum 4 months)

  • Hybrid role based in San Francisco, California

  • Expected onsite presence several days per week based on business needs

Why Arable

At Arable, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful work that supports growers and advances sustainable agriculture globally. We value collaboration, curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and help wherever needed.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses.
