Inbound Logistics Manager

Babylist

2d • $116,200 - $139,400 • Remote

About The Position

Babylist is experiencing significant growth in its transportation spend, with inbound volume projected to double. Currently, inbound and outbound logistics are managed by a single small team, resulting in an on-time delivery rate of 57%. This role establishes a dedicated Inbound Logistics Manager position to address this challenge. The manager will be responsible for the on-time delivery performance and cost management of all goods moving from vendors, both domestically and internationally, into Babylist's fulfillment centers. Key responsibilities include leading carrier relationships across five freight modes, conducting Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), negotiating contracts in collaboration with procurement, validating freight invoices, and partnering with Product and Engineering teams to transition from manual spreadsheet tracking to automated dashboards and workflows. The position is fully remote with approximately 15% travel, including quarterly visits to fulfillment centers.

Requirements

• Deep international trade experience across ocean and air freight, including customs documentation and trade compliance.
• Proven carrier negotiator across LTL, TL, Intermodal, Ocean, and Air, including contract terms and quarterly business reviews.
• Track record of moving an underperforming on-time delivery metric, not just reporting on it.
• Fluent in TMS platforms, carrier portals, invoice auditing tools, and appointment scheduling systems.
• Comfortable building your own views in Sigma, Snowflake, or equivalent rather than waiting on someone else’s report.
• Able to align planners, buyers, DC leaders, vendor compliance, and engineering without direct authority.
• Genuinely excited about what AI can do and willing to get hands-on with it.
• Willingness to write the inbound roadmap as it is still being developed.

Responsibilities

• Own inbound on-time delivery performance to both fulfillment centers across domestic and international vendors.
• Lead carrier relationships, contract negotiations alongside procurement, and quarterly business reviews across all five freight modes.
• Validate freight invoices, audit carrier charges, and manage transportation chargebacks.
• Run the vendor portal for shipment visibility and partner with Vendor Compliance on lead times.
• Coordinate PO ETAs and delivery windows with Planning and Buying.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to define the metrics and build the dashboards and workflows that replace manual spreadsheet tracking.
• Build carrier performance baselines and shape the inbound roadmap as volume doubles.

• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plan with company matching
• Flexible spending accounts
• Generous paid parental leave
• Generous PTO
• Winter Wonder Week: the whole company takes a paid week off at the end of the year
