About GORUCK
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.
-
Drive Inbound Workflows: Design, automate, and execute shipment orchestration from 12 global factories to strategically located distribution centers, taking direct ownership of the flow of goods to eliminate delays.
-
Inventory Optimization & Strategy: Architect end-to-end inventory flows to ensure the right product is in the right node at the right time. Engineer supply reconciliation logic to proactively steer distribution and resolve bottlenecks, eliminating stockouts before they impact the customer.

Scale Operational Visibility: Build and maintain the analytics infrastructure to provide real-time visibility into cost, quality, and transit data, driving automated decision-making.
-
Actively Steer the Supply Chain: Create and use "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.
-
Partner on Systems Strategy: Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate supply chain data with product launch roadmaps, ensuring technical scalability supports business growth.
