About the Organization

We are a U.S.-based aerospace and defense advanced manufacturing enterprise supporting mission-critical components for commercial aviation, space systems, unmanned aerial platforms, and next-generation defense technologies.

Our logistics network spans secure domestic facilities, specialized aerospace suppliers, certified transportation providers, bonded warehouses, and regulated export channels. Operating within ITAR, EAR, and federal compliance frameworks, our product movement requires precision scheduling, chain-of-custody integrity, and risk-controlled coordination across domestic and international channels.

As production volumes expand and global programs scale, logistics excellence is essential to maintaining contract performance, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity.

We are seeking a disciplined and performance-oriented Logistics Manager to oversee secure transportation planning, export compliance coordination, distribution performance optimization, and cost governance, fully remote within the United States.

This is not a warehouse floor role. This is a strategic, compliance-driven logistics leadership mandate.
