Manager, Logistics

We’re creating an entirely new way to solve the most ubiquitous problem in industry—moving and storing material. We’re applying robotics and distributed software to create a new class of product for this $1T market, focusing first on the supply chain industry, which is under pressure from e-commerce growth, rising costs, and disruptions.

About the role

As a Manager, Logistics at Mytra, you will build and lead the logistics function during a period of rapid growth. You’ll own the movement of Mytra’s hardware—from individual components to fully assembled systems—across three key material paths: supplier to our manufacturing site in Brisbane, CA; Brisbane to customer sites; and supplier direct to customer sites. You’ll also manage return logistics, spare parts, and returnable packaging, ensuring tight coordination with supply chain and deployment teams to align logistics with production schedules and site readiness.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead Mytra’s logistics function: develop the team, define the operating model, and own end-to-end execution across all material paths.
• Own inbound logistics from global suppliers to Brisbane, aligning freight plans with supplier production schedules, managing carrier relationships, and maintaining shipment visibility.
• Own outbound logistics from Brisbane to customer sites, coordinating the movement of completed systems, managing carriers and 3PLs, and ensuring on-time, undamaged delivery.
• Manage direct-ship logistics for structural components, coordinating supplier-to-site freight for large steel and structural parts, where delivery sequencing and laydown space at construction sites are critical.
• Own the returnable packaging system end-to-end: define standards, outsource design and supply, manage return loops for spare parts, and scale the system with deployment volume.
• Select, onboard, and manage freight forwarders, customs brokers, 3PLs, and domestic carriers, setting performance expectations and holding partners accountable.
• Own import compliance: customs documentation, HTS classification, country-of-origin requirements, and proactive risk management across Mytra’s international supply base.
• Build visibility and reporting across the logistics network, tracking material in motion, surfacing risks early, and keeping stakeholders informed.
• Develop logistics tools, systems, and processes to ensure efficiency, accountability, and visibility across teams.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of experience in international logistics operations, specifically managing supplier-origin freight to manufacturing or constrained field deployment environments.
• 1–3 years of experience building and leading logistics teams with a manager’s mindset.
• Experience owning freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and import/export compliance without relying on a dedicated trade team.
• Hands-on experience selecting, onboarding, and managing 3PL partners from scratch.
• Understanding of construction site and deployment logistics, including sequenced deliveries, laydown space management, and the cost of mis-timed shipments.
• Experience owning returnable packaging systems, including outsourcing design, managing return loops, and scaling operations.
• Solutions-focused: adept at developing contingency plans and resolving logistics issues.
• Disciplined about building process in ambiguous environments, comfortable starting from scratch, and rigorous in documenting and systematizing work for scalability.

Nice to have

• Experience in robotics, warehouse automation, industrial equipment, or hardware industries involving large, heavy, or structurally complex parts.
• Familiarity with TMS or ERP platforms and a track record of implementing or improving logistics visibility tooling.
• Background in packaging engineering or design for shipping, particularly for metal or fabricated components moving internationally.

A final note: If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply—even if you don’t check every box. We value thoughtful challengers, clear communication, and lifelong learners.
