About The Position

As a Logistics Manager at Veho, you will lead the real-time execution of our first and middle-mile transportation network during our most critical operating window — overnight (3rd shift). Reporting to the Director of Transportation, you will be responsible for ensuring seamless execution across a high-volume, fast-moving network where precision, speed, and decision-making are paramount. This role is highly operational in nature. You will manage a team of coordinators responsible for monitoring active loads, resolving disruptions, and executing against tight service level expectations. Success in this role requires the ability to triage issues in real time, anticipate downstream impacts, and make fast, data-driven decisions to keep the network flowing. While you will interface with carriers and partners, the primary focus is execution oversight, performance management, and operational leadership — ensuring every load moves as planned and service commitments are met. A keen focus on leveraging AI tools and maximizing productivity will be essential to success in this role.

5+ years of experience in transportation, logistics, or supply chain, with a strong emphasis on live operations and execution management

Experience overseeing active transportation networks (middle-mile, linehaul, or similar), with a strong understanding of load lifecycle and failure points
Demonstrated ability to triage issues quickly, prioritize effectively, and drive resolution under tight timelines
Ability to interpret operational data (OTP/OTA, delays, volume vs plan) and translate into actionable decisions in real time
Strong ability to “see around corners” — identifying risks before they materialize and proactively adjusting plans
Experience managing and developing coordinators or operators responsible for day-to-day execution
