Manager of Logistics and Warehouse

Overview Lightship is the first American all-electric recreational vehicle manufacturer currently developing an aerodynamic, battery-powered trailer for the electric age. As the macro transition to an all-electric transportation ecosystem accelerates, Lightship is bringing the increased convenience and superior performance that electrification offers to a pastime enjoyed by over 11 million American families.   Honoring Diverse Perspectives Lightship is committed to hiring and developing top talent from diverse backgrounds. We believe representing and supporting diverse groups is key to the success of our team members, customers, shareholders and the achievement of our mission and vision. We operate in a collaborative environment with a flat organizational structure and expect a high degree of integrity, autonomy and creativity from all members of the team. Lightship is scaling from prototype builds to sustained production. The material path from our supplier base, through the facility, and out to completed trailers has outgrown a role focused on either the warehouse or the freight alone. We are looking for a Manager of Logistics & Warehouse to own both halves as one system. This is a hands-on, factory floor role. You will be on the floor daily, and at our current scale you will do the work as often as you direct it. That means driving a forklift, working a receiving discrepancy, or staging a kit yourself when the schedule demands it. You will lead a small warehouse team and grow it as we scale, so the leadership share of the job grows along with the company. We need someone who moves comfortably between both and does not consider any task beneath the role. Production is your customer. The warehouse exists to serve the build, and this role works shoulder to shoulder with production leadership every day. Reporting to the VP of Supply Chain, you will also work with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Program Management, and Finance. You sit where their competing priorities meet physical material, so success depends as much on influence and clear communication with peers who do not report to you as on running a tight warehouse. This role is built for someone stepping up. You do not need to have run both halves at full scale before. A strong warehouse operations background, real exposure to freight, and the appetite to own the logistics side will get you there, and we will back you with support to grow into the rest.
