Supply Chain Manager

Location: Jacksonville Beach, FL

GORUCK builds gear that lasts, and our logistics need to match. We aren't looking for a passive manager; we’re looking for an architect. Logistics at GORUCK isn't about tracking status updates—it’s about engineering a system that moves products from factory to customer with zero manual friction. If you think spreadsheets are a substitute for an automated system, you won’t fit here. If you’re ready to build, optimize, and own the flow, keep reading.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Inbound Workflows: Design, automate, and execute shipment orchestration from global factories to distribution centers, taking direct ownership of the flow of goods to eliminate delays.
• Execute the PO Lifecycle: Build and run the framework for end-to-end purchase order execution, driving the process through automated validation, status tracking, and aggressive error-detection.
• Actively Steer the Supply Chain: Use the "Control Tower" data to make real-time decisions, resolve operational bottlenecks, and take direct action to keep goods moving, rather than just monitoring for passive status updates.
• Execute Exception Management: Develop and drive a "Management by Exception" system to replace manual intervention with decisive action triggers, ensuring standardized corrective responses to all delays.
• Scale Operational Visibility: Build and maintain the analytics infrastructure to provide real-time visibility into cost, quality, and transit data, driving automated decision-making.
• Eliminate Manual Processes: Continuously audit workflows to identify and replace manual data entry and spreadsheet-based tracking with integrated system solutions.
• Partner on Systems Strategy: Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate supply chain data with product launch roadmaps, ensuring technical scalability supports business growth.

Who You Are

You’ve probably cut your teeth in complex logistics for high-growth brands—if you work at a big company where process trumps results, you’re unlikely to fit our culture.

• Supply Chain & Logistics Foundation: 5+ years of hands-on experience in complex logistics and supply chain operations, with a proven track record of building systems, not just operating them.
• Technical & Analytics Proficiency: Proficient in translating complex supply chain data into actionable reporting. Experience with WMS/ERP integrations, API-based tracking, and building automated dashboards (e.g., Looker, Tableau) to manage performance.
• Systems Architecting: Demonstrated experience automating manual procurement or fulfillment workflows.
• Vendor Engineering: Experience moving beyond "managing" vendors to engineering vendor accountability via SLA-driven portals and automated audit systems.
• Logistics Architecture: Strong grasp of freight, fulfillment, and cost-control modeling with an emphasis on scalability through technology.

What Sets You Apart

• Systems Architect: You treat manual data entry as technical debt and ruthlessly prioritize building integrated, automated solutions over hiring headcount.
• Logistics Engineer: You approach logistical bottlenecks as technical problems to be solved with permanent, scalable architecture, not temporary troubleshooting.
• Zero-Touch Visionary: You instinctively design workflows that eliminate human touchpoints, reducing operations to high-efficiency, exception-only management.
• Decisive Automation: You possess a clear framework for when to build custom solutions vs. when to leverage off-the-shelf tools, maximizing speed to value.
• KPI Architect: You don't just "report" data; you design dashboards that drive automated, binary decision-making (e.g., if X happens, the system automatically does Y).
