Logistics Coordinator

You're the person who makes sure stuff gets from Point A to Point B without disappearing into the logistics void. You manage vendor relationships, coordinate shipments, track inventory across multiple locations, and spend your days in supply chain software that was probably designed by someone who's never actually shipped anything. When a container is stuck at port, a supplier misses a deadline, or a warehouse runs out of something critical, you're the one making calls and finding alternatives. It's a desk job that controls a very physical world.
