Bare Home | Forest Lake, Minnesota, United States (On-site)

About Us :

JP Ecommerce has been named one of the top-ten, fastest growing businesses in Minnesota by Inc. 5000 for the past four years in a row. We provide customers with high-quality bedding through our brand Bare Home. As a leading textile retail company, we source premium products from key regions including China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey. Our commitment to excellence has earned us a reputation as an industry leader in sustainable and ethical textile sourcing.

What sets us apart is our entrepreneurial, collaborative environment where team members can quickly see their ideas transform into action. At Bare Home, you'll experience the satisfaction of ownership over projects, working alongside friendly, dedicated colleagues in a fast-paced setting where no two days are the same.

Position Overview :

We are seeking a strategic, hands-on Logistics Operations Manager to serve as the right-hand to our Logistics & Operations Director. As we experience 30% year-over-year growth and expand our warehouse footprint by 100,000+ square feet, you'll play a critical role in scaling our logistics infrastructure while driving operational excellence.

This role is perfect for an experienced logistics professional with 5+ years in international shipping who can balance strategic thinking with tactical execution. You'll manage container flows from China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey, optimize Amazon fulfillment operations (65% of our business), negotiate with 3PLs and carriers, and make data-driven decisions that directly impact our bottom line. If you're excited about touching every aspect of logistics operations in a fast-paced e-commerce environment where your contributions make an immediate difference, this is your opportunity.

Key Responsibilities :

Cost Optimization & Financial Analysis :

  • Analyze transportation costs across ocean freight, trucking, and 3PL services to identify savings opportunities
  • Make strategic decisions on trailer utilization vs. bobtail pickups to minimize demurrage and detention fees
  • Conduct financial impact analyses on shipping methods, tariff mitigation strategies, and vendor contracts
  • Track and reduce costs associated with container storage, trailer rentals, and international freight

International Shipping & Compliance :

  • Manage international container flows from China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey to optimize delivery timing and costs
  • Navigate customs documentation, tariff regulations, and compliance requirements for international shipments
  • Support implementation of Free Trade Zone (FTZ) operations to reduce duties and improve cash flow
  • Coordinate with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and bonded warehouses on documentation and compliance
  • Amazon Fulfillment Optimization :

  • Optimize Amazon Warehousing & Distribution (AWD) and FBA flows to minimize storage costs and prevent stockouts
  • Collaborate with forecasting team to anticipate capacity needs and prevent Amazon storage limit violations
  • Analyze whether to ship directly to Amazon facilities or utilize our warehouse for consolidation
  • Monitor Amazon metrics and adjust inbound flows to maintain optimal inventory levels for our top-selling bedding products
  • Vendor & 3PL Management :

  • Source and evaluate new transportation providers, 3PLs, and logistics vendors to reduce costs
  • Negotiate rates and service agreements with ocean carriers, trucking companies, and freight forwarders
  • Build and maintain relationships with international and domestic logistics partners
  • Vet new vendors and present recommendations for approval to the Logistics Director
  • Capacity Planning & Warehouse Operations :

  • Analyze warehouse capacity and receiving capabilities to prevent bottlenecks during peak seasons
  • Coordinate with warehouse team on container scheduling, unloading priorities, and space utilization
  • Support warehouse modernization efforts including automation, robotics, and racking optimization
  • Leverage knowledge of pick-pack processes, heat mapping, and warehouse layout design
  • Manage offsite trailer storage as a cost-effective inventory overflow solution
  • Operational Leadership :

  • Serve as primary support and right-hand to the Logistics & Operations Director
  • Act in absence of Director, managing day-to-day operations and making critical decisions
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with sourcing, forecasting, and warehouse teams
  • Proactively track systems, anticipate issues, and implement solutions before problems escalate
  • Qualifications & Requirements :

    Education & Experience :

  • Bachelor's degree in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Business, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in logistics operations, supply chain management, or international shipping
  • Proven experience with international shipping, customs documentation, and import / export compliance
  • E-commerce or high-growth retail experience strongly preferred
  • Technical Skills :

  • Strong understanding of transportation operations including ocean freight, trucking, and intermodal logistics
  • Experience with Amazon fulfillment operations (FBA, AWD, Seller Central, or Vendor Central)
  • Advanced Excel skills for capacity planning, data analysis, and financial modeling (vlookup, pivot tables, complex formulas)
  • Experience with ERP systems - we use SellerCloud currently, transitioning to NetSuite
  • Knowledge of customs documentation, tariff regulations, and Free Trade Zones (FTZ)
  • Familiarity with DOT regulations and transportation compliance is a plus
  • Analytical & Strategic Skills :

  • Demonstrated ability to conduct financial analysis and make cost-optimization decisions
  • Strong analytical skills with ability to identify bottlenecks and develop mitigation strategies
  • Experience evaluating and negotiating with vendors, carriers, and 3PL partners
  • Understanding of warehouse operations, automation, and modernization initiatives
  • Supply chain certifications (APICS, CSCP, CLTD) are a plus
  • Personal Qualities :

  • Hands-on, tactical mindset with ability to roll up sleeves and execute
  • Self-motivated with excellent project management and multitasking abilities
  • Proactive problem-solver who anticipates issues before they become problems
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills for coordinating with international vendors and cross-functional teams
  • Adaptable team player who thrives in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced, growth-oriented culture
  • Data-driven decision maker who balances cost efficiency with operational excellence
  • What Makes You Perfect for This Role :

    You're a logistics professional who gets energized by solving complex supply chain puzzles—whether that's optimizing container flows from four countries, negotiating better carrier rates, or troubleshooting a customs delay. You're equally comfortable analyzing spreadsheets as you are jumping on the phone with a freight forwarder. The idea of managing international shipments while optimizing Amazon fulfillment doesn't intimidate you—it excites you.

    You thrive in fast-paced environments where logistics is the backbone of success. When problems arise, you're the person who jumps into action with solutions. You love seeing your cost-saving initiatives directly impact the bottom line, and you're ready to roll up your sleeves and take ownership in a collaborative team where no two days are the same. Most importantly, you want to grow with one of Minnesota's fastest-growing companies where your expertise in international shipping, customs, and transportation operations will be valued and utilized every single day.
