Logistics Coordinator- US Shift

What's in it for you?

List at least two comparative wins for this role over another that someone might consider. Example follows.

Opportunity To Unlock Your Creativity
Think of all the times you were held back from trying new ideas because you were boxed in by bureaucratic legacy processes or old school tactics. Having a growth mindset is deeply ingrained into our company culture since day 1 so Fictiv is an environment where you have the creative liberty and support of the team to try big bold ideas to achieve our sales and customer goals.

Opportunity To Grow Your Career
There are plenty of sales jobs out there. The question is whether any of them will help you grow in your career? Will you be challenged by teammates to achieve your potential? Or are they roles that will ask you to do more of what you've already mastered. At Fictiv, you'll be surrounded by supportive teammates who will push you to be your best through their curiosity and passion.

Your role as a Logistics Coordinator, GCC will be to support and drive improvement to our critical manufacturing functions. We have two sets of customers - our builders, who order parts through us, and our manufacturing partners, who manufacture and assemble these parts - and you'll take the inputs from our builders and work with our manufacturing partners to deliver on our builders' expectations. At Fictiv, we believe in creating and empowering product innovators to create, and you'll be playing a critical role in making that happen.

What is in it for you?

This role provides a high-impact opportunity for professionals who want to go beyond traditional logistics roles. Comparative advantages include:

Strategic Influence Over Operations:
Unlike typical logistics roles that are limited to execution, this position involves direct interaction with cross-functional teams, exception management, and carrier performance tracking, providing exposure to strategic decision-making and business process improvements.

Ownership and Visibility:
Rather than working in a siloed environment, this role offers end-to-end ownership over order fulfillment, from documentation to delivery. This increases personal accountability, but also offers greater visibility into business outcomes, contributing to faster career growth and deeper functional expertise.

Impact in this Role

This Logistics Coordinator role is instrumental in ensuring operational excellence across our US logistics network. You will be at the center of our supply chain, ensuring that shipments are delivered on time, exceptions are resolved quickly, and cost efficiency is maintained through proactive analysis.

We recognize that impactful team members come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. If this role sounds exciting, even if you don't meet every listed requirement, we encourage you to apply. Research shows that women often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria, while men tend to apply with only 60%.
