Inbound Logistics Manager

What the Role Is Babylist moves more than $100 million in annual transportation spend, and inbound volume is on track to double. Today inbound and outbound sit under one small team, and on-time delivery is running at 57%. We’re splitting the function so inbound gets a dedicated owner for the first time. You’ll own on-time delivery performance and cost for everything moving from our vendors, domestic and international, into both fulfillment centers. You’ll lead carrier relationships across five freight modes, run QBRs and contract negotiations alongside procurement, validate freight invoicing, and partner with Product and Engineering to replace manual spreadsheet tracking with real dashboards and automated workflows. Fully remote. Roughly 15% travel, including quarterly visits to our fulfillment centers. Who You Are Deep international trade experience across ocean and air freight, including customs documentation and trade compliance. Proven carrier negotiator across LTL, TL, Intermodal, Ocean, and Air, including contract terms and quarterly business reviews. Track record of moving an underperforming on-time delivery metric, not just reporting on it. Fluent in TMS platforms, carrier portals, invoice auditing tools, and appointment scheduling systems. Comfortable building your own views in Sigma, Snowflake, or equivalent rather than waiting on someone else’s report. Able to align planners, buyers, DC leaders, vendor compliance, and engineering without direct authority. You're genuinely excited about what AI can do - not just as a concept, but as something you want to get your hands on. At Babylist, every team uses AI daily, and we're looking for people who lean in. If you want a finished playbook to execute, this isn’t it. The inbound roadmap is still being written and you’ll be writing it.
