Transportation & Logistics
Logistics Coordinator
A growing third-party logistics provider serving importers through the Port of New York and New Jersey is adding a logistics coordinator to its drayage and inland transportation desk. You will be the day-to-day point of contact between customers, carriers, and warehouse partners, keeping loads moving and exceptions from becoming claims. The role converts to permanent after roughly 90 days, and the team has promoted two of its last three coordinators into account management. Prior port or drayage exposure is a plus but not required.
