Our Story

At Allen Lund Company, we’re always looking for ambitious, motivated individuals who want more than just a job. If you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced, team-driven environment and loves the challenge of building strong relationships and delivering real results — we want to hear from you.
We’ve built our reputation by hiring great people, investing in their growth, and creating a culture where they stick around — over half our employees have been here 10 years. That says a lot!
Ready to kickstart your career with a company that values hustle, heart, and long-term growth? We’re not your average company — and this isn’t your average job.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
Allen Lund Company is seeking an experienced and highly driven International Operations Manager to lead, grow, and expand our Ocean, Air, Drayage, and Intermodal/Rail operations in Orlando, Florida.
We’re looking for a dynamic, A-type leader who doesn’t just manage — they build, drive, and elevate.
The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker and a hands-on operator with the grit, resilience, and hunger to help our manager scale the business to new levels of success.
This role requires someone who’s ready to take true ownership — it’s not a clock-in, clock-out position,
but one where your initiative and leadership directly shape not only the success and growth of the division but also your own professional and financial growth. The more you invest, the more you’ll gain — from building your leadership footprint to expanding your earning potential.
While the role comes with greater responsibility, it also offers the flexibility, autonomy, and rewards that come with driving results in a high-performing environment.
You’ll have the stability and support of a nationally recognized, privately held 3PL, with the freedom to create real impact.
