What are the responsibilities and job description for the Logistics Coordinator position at Oats Overnight?
A Little About
Oats Overnight is on a mission to build a generational CPG brand. Since 2016, our high-protein, drinkable oatmeal has reached over a million customers through direct-to-consumer, and we’re now scaling with all major nationwide retail and club partners. Our goal: become a household brand by leveraging speed, storytelling, and strategy.
We are vertically integrated: we develop, manufacture, and fulfill everything in-house. This operational control allows us to engage customers directly into the R&D process, an initiative where we were first-to-market in CPG. It also makes our brand tangible and real: our factory, our team, and our product pipeline are all part of the narrative.
This is an exciting stage — we are emerging as a significant omni-channel brand and launching new products to capture significant market share across verticals. We want you to help us get there.
Every teammate here has equity because we’re building something big, and everyone plays an important role. If you’re excited about building a brand that does things differently, this is that opportunity
What’s The Job
As a Logistics Coordinator, you will be responsible for managing retail sales orders and purchase orders (POs) from issuance to delivery, and overseeing the coordination of freight and inventory between our fulfillment centers. Your attention to detail and organizational skills will be critical to ensuring accurate execution against demand plans, order and inventory management, fulfillment, and timely deliveries. You’ll be the connective tissue between our warehouse teams, external carriers, and demand planning functions — keeping product moving and customers happy.

We value people who roll up their sleeves and support their fellow team members. We embrace diversity and encourage equal opportunity every chance we get, and we look forward to learning from people whose backgrounds, skills, and perspectives challenge and enrich our own.
