- Support material planning and logistics analysis, including demand tracking, material availability, lead-time analysis, shortage identification, delivery forecasting, supplier delivery performance, and identification of recurring transportation, receiving, inventory, or process issues; recommend practical corrective actions to the appropriate functional owner.
- Provide logistics, material, receiving, delivery, property, shipment, and other supply-support information needed to support authorized GSC purchase-order administration and closeout, as well as program and proposal-development activities.
- Apply working knowledge of applicable FAR, DFARS, contractual flow-downs, export-control, cybersecurity and controlled-information, counterfeit-parts avoidance, small-business, and company requirements; identify and promptly refer potential compliance or contractual issues to the appropriate authorized functional personnel.
- Protect company, supplier, customer, proprietary, export-controlled, and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with applicable policies, contractual requirements, and authorized systems.

Logistics Specialist Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a logistics specialist in Ohio?
Most employers in Ohio require at least a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, or logistics. There is no state-issued license specific to this role, but certifications such as the Certified Supply Chain Professional or Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution are widely recognized and strengthen candidacy. Ohio's dense manufacturing and distribution sectors mean hands-on experience with ERP systems and freight operations matters as much as formal credentials.
Which companies hire logistics specialists in Ohio?
Employers hiring logistics specialists in Ohio right now include Wayfair, Kuehne+Nagel, and Fuyao Glass America, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Ohio's role as a major distribution corridor between the Midwest and East Coast means large manufacturers, retailers, and third-party logistics providers maintain substantial logistics teams across the state.
Which Ohio cities have the most logistics specialist jobs?
Columbus, Dayton, and Moraine have the most logistics specialist openings in Ohio. Columbus leads because of its central location and concentration of major distribution centers and corporate headquarters, while Cleveland's manufacturing base and Cincinnati's proximity to major freight networks and large employers like Procter & Gamble drive strong demand in those metros.
Are there remote logistics specialist jobs in Ohio?
Yes, but they're rare. About 33% of logistics specialist openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the largely hands-on, site-specific nature of the role. The functions most likely to allow remote work are transportation coordination, vendor communications, and demand planning, where the work is primarily analytical rather than floor-level.
How can I get hired as a logistics specialist in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a logistics specialist role from an adjacent position such as warehouse associate, shipping and receiving clerk, or logistics coordinator assistant. Large Ohio employers including Cardinal Health and major third-party logistics operations in Columbus and Cincinnati regularly hire candidates into supply chain analyst or operations coordinator roles that build toward specialist titles. Earning an entry-level certification such as the APICS Certified in Planning and Inventory Management strengthens an application significantly when direct experience is limited.
Where can I find and apply to logistics specialist jobs in Ohio?
You can find and apply to logistics specialist jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience, location, and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
