Our client is a well-established, growth-oriented, multi-modal logistics provider. With a strong reputation for service excellence and a rapidly expanding footprint, the organization is seeking a Director of Operations to play a critical leadership role in its next phase of growth.

The Director of Operations will lead and optimize a dynamic, multi-modal freight operation spanning over-the-road, ocean, air, and rail. This role is ideal for a senior operations leader who thrives in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment and brings both strategic perspective and hands-on leadership capability.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide day-to-day operational leadership across all modes of transportation, ensuring consistent, high-quality service delivery and operational efficiency
  • Build and implement scalable processes, systems, and KPIs to support continued growth and operational excellence
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing operations team, fostering accountability, urgency, and a strong service culture
  • Drive margin improvement through disciplined cost control, pricing alignment, and carrier/vendor negotiations
  • Strengthen and expand relationships with key carriers, partners, and vendors across all modes
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with sales and leadership to support customer growth, onboarding, and retention initiatives
  • Identify and mitigate operational risks while ensuring compliance with industry regulations and best practices
  • Champion continuous improvement initiatives across processes, technology utilization, and team performance


The Ideal Candidate:

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in transportation and logistics operations, with deep exposure to over-the-road, ocean, air, and rail freight
  • Minimum 5 years in a senior leadership role managing teams and complex, multi-modal operations.
  • Strong commercial acumen with a proven ability to balance service excellence with margin discipline.
  • Demonstrated success building structure and scalability within a growing organization.
  • A hands-on leadership style with the ability to dive into operational details while maintaining a strategic lens.
  • Excellent communication, team leadership, and stakeholder management skills.


Why This Opportunity:

  • Join a highly respected and growing logistics organization with a strong market reputation
  • Play a pivotal leadership role with direct impact on operational performance and business growth
  • Work alongside an entrepreneurial leadership team committed to scaling the business
  • Competitive executive compensation package, including base salary, performance-based incentives, and long-term rewards aligned with company success



If you are an experienced logistics operations leader looking to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth, multi-modal environment, this is a compelling opportunity to consider.
