Job Description

We're looking for a seasoned operations leader in Denver, Colorado who knows how to scale high-performance fulfillment and shipping operations for a fast-growing DTC brand. If you’ve owned the 3PL relationship, led outbound logistics across DTC and wholesale channels, and rolled up your sleeves to solve last-mile issues, we’d love to meet you.

As a Senior Manager of Fulfillment and Outbound Logistics , you’ll be the internal owner of our order fulfillment and outbound logistics function, guiding daily execution while helping to shape our long-term strategy. You'll serve as the connective tissue between internal teams and our third-party logistics provider, ensuring we deliver a seamless and branded customer experience through every shipment. You’ll lead fulfillment planning, troubleshoot issues in real time, and drive continuous improvement across people, process, and systems.

This is a key leadership role that blends operational rigor with strategic influence. Ideal candidates have experience working for a modern DTC or wholesale apparel or consumer brand, are well-versed in ecommerce fulfillment, and know what great looks like in a high-growth environment.

This is a hybrid role that requires weekly time onsite at TRUEWERK’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado and travel to our 3PL to maintain close alignment and effective execution.

3PL Partnership & Fulfillment Strategy

• Own and deepen the relationship with our 3PL, holding them accountable to KPIs, SLAs, and overall execution.

• Anticipate and prepare for new product drops, seasonal peaks, promotions, and campaign spikes.
• Serve as the primary point of contact between internal stakeholders (CX, Planning, Product, Wholesale) and the distribution partner.
• Build and lead regular business reviews with the 3PL; analyze scorecards, identify gaps, and push for continuous improvement.

Outbound Shipping & Carrier Management

• Own the outbound shipping strategy and execution - balancing cost, speed, and customer expectations.
• Manage carrier relationships (FedEx, UPS, DHL, LTL, etc.) either directly or in partnership with the 3PL.
• Monitor carrier performance metrics such as on-time delivery, claims rate, and customer complaints.
• Continuously improve shipping methods, service levels, and routing logic to meet evolving business needs.
• Ensure proper documentation, labeling, and compliance for all outbound shipments (domestic and international).
• Resolve shipping escalations quickly and collaboratively across CX and Logistics teams.
• Partner with Planning and channel leadership to forecast outbound volume and align capacity and carrier strategies accordingly.

Leadership & Optimization

• Drive operational excellence and process innovation across fulfillment and outbound logistics.
• Ensure operational consistency across our core systems (ERP, WMS, OMS), driving alignment through cycle counts, root cause analysis, and process audits.
• Support contract negotiations and rate reviews with 3PL and outbound carriers and recommend cost optimization initiatives across shipping, labor, and fulfillment.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to align logistics operations with brand and customer experience standards.
• Influence internal decision-making with data, customer insights, and industry best practices.
• Stay current on the logistics tech landscape and DTC delivery trends to keep our operations ahead of the curve.

Qualifications

• Currently residing in or willing to relocate to the Denver, Colorado area
• 6 - 8+ years in logistics, fulfillment, or operations roles within high-growth ecommerce or DTC brands 
• 3+ years managing a 3PL relationship, ideally in an apparel, accessories, or similar consumer goods environment
• Owned DTC and/or omnichannel fulfillment operations, with a proven ability to drive performance and accountability
• Experience leading shipping strategy and rate negotiations across small parcel and freight
• Strong working knowledge of ERP and WMS systems (NetSuite preferred)
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional projects and improve process at scale
• Highly analytical with a bias toward action and continuous improvement
• Comfortable being hands-on and in the weeds, while also thinking strategically
