Logistics Manager

What we're building

Jiga is on a mission to help engineers build physical products faster.

The problem: engineers designing physical products waste weeks chasing quotes, vetting suppliers, managing freight, fighting with customs, and recovering from late shipments. Jiga fixes this by connecting engineers directly with vetted manufacturers (CNC, sheet metal, injection molding, 3D printing) and running the entire supply chain on their behalf — from RFQ to the loading dock.

We're a small, fully-funded, cashflow-positive team serving enterprise customers like NASA, Google, Tesla, and Apple.

The role

We're looking for a Logistics Manager to own the physical movement of every part Jiga touches — from a CNC shop in Shenzhen to a robotics lab in Boston — and to do it with the commercial instincts of someone who understands that every shipping decision is also a business decision.

This is not a freight-booking role. The right person is part operator, part dealmaker: negotiating rates with forwarders, choosing modes based on time, complexity, and constraints, guiding the trade compliance work our logistics admin executes, and pricing freight back to customers in a way that protects both the deal and the margin. You'll work alongside Sales on commercial calls, alongside Suppliers on physical execution, and own the operational seat where these two worlds meet.

If you love logistics, love manufacturing, and want to be the person who makes Jiga's ‘delivered on time, anywhere in the world’ promise real — this is the role.

How we actually work

We're a small remote team made up of the best of the best. Our team members are distributed around the globe — most of our product and engineering talent sits in Europe and Israel, and you'll work daily with operators, sales, and suppliers across the US, EU, and Asia. Most of our work is async, which is the secret sauce of our success.

High trust, low bullshit. We don't count hours or peek over your shoulder on Slack. We trust you to get your work done and tell us when something's wrong. You'll have real ownership over how the supply chain runs, no process theater, no busy-work meetings.

Question everything. See a freight contract that doesn't make sense? Renegotiate it. Think a customs flow is broken? Fix it. We mean it when we say we want people to challenge the status quo. Our internal motto is ‘Don't drink the kool-aid’.

No busy work, no fluff. If you're addicted to building heavy processes and endless meetings, this isn't a fit. If you're addicted to closing the loop and shipping the box, it is.

Actually friendly, not corporate friendly. We play games online every week. Once a year we fly everyone somewhere beautiful for our offsite. We genuinely like hanging out together — which turns out to be way better than forced team-building.

What we value in logistics

Own the whole shipment, not just the booking. Quote it, book it, clear it, deliver it, reconcile it. End to end. Don't toss problems over a wall.

Think commercially, not just operationally. Every lane choice, every Incoterm, every mode decision is also a business decision. The best logistics operators we've met think like partners to Sales, not dispatchers.

Walk the factory floor. You can't run logistics if you don't understand manufacturing. Learn the parts, learn the lead times, learn what makes a Vietnam machine shop different from a German one. Be the supply chain operator our customers wish they had in-house.

Get your hands dirty. Before you automate it, do it manually. Before you systematize it, prove it works. The best playbooks come from the people who lived inside the ugly version first.

Calm under pressure. Shipments get stuck. Customs holds happen. Customers escalate. The job is staying steady, communicating clearly, and resolving — not panicking.

What you'll do

Move parts across the world

Own international freight across air, ocean, and courier — primarily from Asia (China, Vietnam, India) to Israel, the US, and the EU, with g
