Original job description
We are looking for a Logistics Coordinator to oversee daily on-site transportation and dispatch operations at our Atlanta, Georgia hub. This contract opportunity is ideal for someone who can lead frontline activity, maintain steady package flow, and respond quickly to changing operational needs. In this role, you will work closely with regional, district, and transportation leadership to support efficient routing, pickups, and dispatch execution.
Responsibilities:
- Direct day-to-day floor operations at a single hub to keep dispatch, pickup, and route activity organized and on schedule.
- Supervise a team of 5 to 10 dispatchers, distribute assignments, and adjust coverage when absences or volume changes affect operations.
- Monitor package movement and route performance throughout each shift, then share key throughput updates with leadership.
- Provide real-time guidance to dispatch staff on routing decisions, service exceptions, and issue resolution.
- Lead safety discussions and reinforce operational standards and compliance expectations across the team.
- Identify equipment, staffing, or shipment-volume concerns early and raise them to hub or area leadership for timely action.
- Coordinate shipping-related activities to support smooth distribution flow and consistent service execution.
- Help maintain organized logistics processes that support reliable movement of freight and packages.
- Experience in logistics, distribution, or transportation coordination within a fast-paced operational setting.
- Ability to lead on-site dispatch activity and support daily shipping functions with strong attention to detail.
- Proven experience coaching team members, assigning work, and maintaining accountability during active shifts.
- Familiarity with tracking operational metrics and using performance data to support workflow decisions.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to escalate issues clearly to management.
- Knowledge of route coordination, package handling workflows, and general logistics operations.
- Ability to adapt quickly to changing shipment volume, staffing needs, and service priorities.
- Exposure to customs-related processes is a plus.
