Logistics Planner Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a logistics planner in New York?
A bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business logistics, or operations is the standard starting point for logistics planner roles in New York. No state-issued license is required, but employers across New York City and the major upstate markets strongly favor candidates who hold or are pursuing APICS certifications such as the CPIM or CSCP. Gaining experience in freight brokerage, warehouse operations, or purchasing at a New York distribution center is a common path into the planning function.
How much do logistics planners make in New York?
Logistics planners in New York earn a median of about $88,240 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,370 for the lowest 10% to over $136,940 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire logistics planners in New York?
Employers hiring logistics planners in New York right now include Atlas Copco, Grote Industries, and Mirion, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's concentration of major retail, e-commerce, and port-adjacent operations means demand is spread across both the metro area and logistics corridors upstate.
Which New York cities have the most logistics planner jobs?
Avon, Buffalo, and Conklin have the most logistics planner openings in New York. New York City dominates due to its port activity, large retail and e-commerce distribution networks, and corporate headquarters, while Albany and Buffalo draw hiring from regional manufacturing operations, state government supply chain roles, and proximity to major interstate freight corridors.
Are there remote logistics planner jobs in New York?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based fields, since logistics planning often involves coordinating closely with warehouse teams, carriers, and port operations. About 11% of logistics planner openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with remote work most available in demand planning, inventory analytics, and vendor coordination roles that do not require daily on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a logistics planner in New York with little or no experience?
Starting as a logistics coordinator or supply chain analyst at a large New York distribution center is the most realistic entry path. Employers such as large e-commerce fulfillment operations in the outer boroughs and upstate freight companies regularly hire entry-level candidates into coordinator roles that transition into planning positions. A completed APICS coursework certificate, even without full certification, signals seriousness to New York hiring managers and gives candidates a clear edge over applicants with similar experience.
