Warehouse & Logistics Coordinator
Naperville, IL | Full-Time | $58,000–$68,000 annually
Join Metrasens
Metrasens is a global leader in advanced ferromagnetic detection technology, helping customers protect people, property and sensitive environments. We are looking for a dependable, hands-on Warehouse & Logistics Coordinator to keep our Naperville operations organized, accurate and moving.
This is a hands-on warehouse role for someone who enjoys organized operations and working with technical equipment. You will own daily warehouse activities first and, through structured training, grow into executing approved repairs. Technical teams will establish fault diagnoses, compatibility requirements and repair instructions; you will follow the defined process, complete the prescribed work and escalate exceptions.
What You’ll Do
- Manage daily shipping, receiving, order fulfillment, equipment movement and warehouse organization.
- Maintain accurate inventory and serialized equipment records; perform cycle counts, audits and reconciliations.
- Prepare and verify equipment and parts for customer orders, installations and field service visits.
- Coordinate carriers, track shipments and resolve shipping discrepancies.
- Receive, identify, organize and track returned equipment, exchange units and repair work-in-progress, including serialized records and repair status.
- Maintain accurate transactions and records in SAP, Salesforce and other applicable systems.
- Work with Service, Sales, Customer Experience and Operations to support customer commitments.
- Carry out prescribed equipment repairs and component replacements using approved instructions supplied through the technical repair process.
- Perform documented repair checks and functional tests, record parts used and results and follow required technical approval steps before releasing equipment.
- Flag unexpected findings, unidentified faults, part or serial-number compatibility questions and unclear instructions to the appropriate technical team.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in warehouse operations, logistics, inventory control, shipping and receiving or a related field.
- Strong attention to detail, organization, ownership and the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Comfort using inventory, ERP or order-management systems and maintaining accurate records.
- Practical hands-on aptitude, technical curiosity and the ability to follow precise repair and testing instructions; previous independent repair diagnosis is not required.
- Clear communication, teamwork and the ability to follow documented safety and work procedures.
Experience That’s a Plus
- Experience with serialized technical equipment, electronics, medical devices or service parts.
- Hands-on familiarity with electronic or electromechanical equipment, assembly, component replacement or documented functional testing.
- Experience with SAP, Salesforce, field-service shipments, returns or inventory reconciliation.
Physical Requirements
This is a hands-on warehouse role involving standing, walking, bending, reaching and moving equipment within company-established safety limits, with appropriate assistance or lifting equipment. Safe use of computers and approved warehouse equipment is required.
Why This Role Is Different
You will support both the daily movement of critical equipment and a process-driven repair operation. You are not expected to diagnose every customer issue or decide which technical repair is appropriate. The technical teams establish the fault and repair approach; after training, you execute approved work, document results and escalate exceptions. We value reliability, accuracy, technical aptitude and the willingness to learn.

Tips for Your Remote Head of Logistics Department Job Search
Prove you can lead logistics remotely
Build a one-page leadership summary that highlights results you've owned without in-person oversight: cost savings, carrier performance improvements, or fulfillment accuracy gains. Remote employers at this level want evidence you've driven outcomes across distributed teams, not just managed a local warehouse floor.
Signal async fluency in every application
Remote head of logistics roles depend on clear written communication across time zones. Your cover letter and resume should reflect that: use precise operational language, structure information logically, and avoid vague summaries. Employers read your application as a preview of how you'll communicate once you're on the team.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote head of logistics department openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your seniority and sector and apply directly without sorting through location-dependent listings.
Master the tools remote logistics teams use
Remote employers expect fluency with logistics platforms like SAP, Oracle Transportation Management, or similar TMS and WMS tools, as well as project collaboration software. Naming the specific systems you've used in your resume and during interviews signals that you can contribute without a ramp-up period.
Remote Head of Logistics Department Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote head of logistics department job?
Remote employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can direct cross-functional logistics teams, manage carrier and vendor relationships, and own supply chain KPIs without in-person oversight. Strong async written communication, comfort with logistics management platforms, and a history of leading distributed or multi-site operations give you a clear edge. Demonstrating that you've hit results independently, without daily supervision, is what separates remote-ready candidates from the rest.
Which companies hire remote head of logistics departments?
Employers currently hiring remote head of logistics departments include Ryder System, Kuehne+Nagel, and Kinders, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first e-commerce brands, distributed third-party logistics firms, and enterprise retailers with multi-region supply chains are among the most consistent hirers of this role at a distance.
Can you get a remote head of logistics department job with no experience?
Yes, but remote head of logistics department roles are senior by nature, so pure entry-level candidates face a steeper path than in office-based settings where onboarding is hands-on. Your strongest entry points are logistics coordinator or operations manager roles at remote-friendly companies that promote from within. Showing measurable results in cost reduction, carrier negotiations, or inventory accuracy, even from earlier roles, matters more than a formal title.
Do you need a degree for remote head of logistics department jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated logistics leadership, proficiency with supply chain management software, and a history of measurable operational results more heavily than a specific degree. A background in operations, business, or supply chain management is common, but candidates who can show they've successfully managed logistics budgets, vendor contracts, and team performance remotely often compete effectively regardless of their educational background.
Which industries hire the most remote head of logistics departments?
Most remote head of logistics department openings sit in Technology & Software, Retail, and Media & Entertainment, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed operations teams and benefit from senior logistics leadership that can coordinate across multiple facilities, regions, or fulfillment partners without being tied to a single headquarters.
