About the role
Motive empowers the people who run physical operations with tools to make their work safer, more productive, and more profitable. For the first time ever, safety, operations and finance teams can manage their drivers, vehicles, equipment, and fleet related spend in a single system.
The Logistics Coordinator supports Motive’s day-to-day domestic and international logistics operations by coordinating shipments, maintaining accurate shipment and carrier records, following up with transportation partners, and helping resolve delivery exceptions.

- Support invoice review by matching freight invoices to shipment records, quotes, approvals, and delivery documentation.
- Collect and organize commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and other required shipment records.
- Escalate recurring service failures, cost concerns, and operational risks to management.
- Partner with Fulfillment, Inventory, Planning, and Finance teams to coordinate logistics activities.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years of experience in logistics coordination, transportation operations, freight forwarding, or a related field.
- Experience coordinating with parcel carriers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses, or 3PL providers.
- Working knowledge of transportation, freight, parcel, warehouse, or 3PL operations.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, including filters, lookups, and pivot tables.
- Ability to work with ERP, transportation-management, warehouse-management, or logistics platforms.
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple shipments and deadlines at once.
- Located in or near Louisville, Kentucky.
Nice to have
- Experience reviewing freight invoices, shipment documentation, or carrier performance data.
- Experience supporting consumer electronics, hardware, technology, or high-volume shipping operations.
- Associate or bachelor’s degree in supply chain, logistics, business, or a related field.
