Bandit Sports | Reports to President / COO
About Bandit SportsBandit Sports is one of the fastest-growing brands in baseball and softball. We're building a new generation of products that make the game more fun, accessible, and exciting for players of all ages.
Our products are sold nationwide through major retailers, Amazon, and our own ecommerce channels. We're growing quickly, launching new products, and expanding our retail presence in a big way.
We're a small, ambitious team with big plans. We move fast, care deeply about our products, and believe great people should have the freedom to make decisions and take ownership of their work.
We're looking for an Senior Operations & Logistics Manager who wants to be a meaningful part of building what's next.
We're looking for an experienced, hands-on operator to take ownership of our logistics and fulfillment operations.
You'll be responsible for making sure our products move efficiently from our manufacturing partners into our warehouses and ultimately to customers and retailers across the country.
This is a highly visible role with real responsibility. You'll work directly with leadership, manage our third-party logistics partners, and build the processes that allow Bandit to continue scaling.
We're looking for someone who has done this before, knows what great looks like, and enjoys figuring out how to make things better.
- 3PL Management: Own our third-party warehouse relationships, including daily operations, receiving, fulfillment accuracy, shipping performance, costs, and accountability.
- Inventory Accuracy & Receiving: Oversee inbound shipments, warehouse receiving, inventory reconciliation, and system accuracy across Shopify, Amazon, and our fulfillment partners.
- Wholesale & Ecommerce Fulfillment: Ensure orders ship accurately and on time to major national retailers, Amazon, and DTC customers. Manage retail routing guides, EDI requirements, and shipping compliance to minimize chargebacks and delays.
- Logistics & Cost Management: Manage freight, carriers, warehouse expenses, and fulfillment costs. Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, negotiate better rates, and reduce unnecessary spending.
- Processes & Systems: Develop and improve the systems, reporting, and operating procedures that keep everything running smoothly as our order volume and retail distribution grow.
- 4 years of experience in logistics, supply chain, or fulfillment operations, ideally with a fast-growing consumer products brand.
- Direct experience managing a 3PL relationship. You've held warehouse partners accountable, solved fulfillment issues, and improved performance.
- Experience with both wholesale and ecommerce fulfillment. You understand retail routing guides, EDI, retailer compliance, and the demands of shipping to major accounts.
- Strong inventory management skills. You're comfortable working with a warehouse management system, reconciling inventory, and identifying discrepancies.
- Comfortable with technology and data. Experience with Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, inventory systems, spreadsheets, and modern automation tools.
- Excellent organization and follow-through. You manage details, anticipate problems, and don't need constant direction.
- A genuine ownership mentality. You take initiative, solve problems, communicate clearly, and care about the results.
You'll have the opportunity to help shape how a rapidly growing consumer brand operates, work alongside a passionate team, and see the direct impact of your decisions.
We're expanding into new retailers, developing exciting products, and building a brand with enormous room to grow.
Send your resume along with a brief note answering two questions:
- What's an operations or 3PL problem you've personally solved, and what was the result?
- What's a process or system you've implemented that made a meaningful improvement?
We care about experience, initiative, and your ability to get things done. We'd love to hear from you.
