Logistics - Project & Field Manager at Elite Austin
Austin, TX
About the Job
Join Elite Austin, where we’re not just a team— we're a work family that works well together, lifts up and supports one another (and has fun while doing it)! As a local design company specializing in home staging and furniture rental, we take pride in our collaborative and lively atmosphere that values work-life balance like it’s a prized possession. Your day kicks off at 7:00 AM and wraps up by 3:30 PM, leaving the rest of your day and weekends wide open for adventures (or well-deserved Netflix binges!).
Our benefits package is nothing short of fabulous, featuring medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus generous paid time off that grows with you over the years. Enjoy additional sick leave, paid company holidays, and some bonus holiday time to boot! We’ve got a 401(k) plan with matching contributions, parental leave, short- and long-term disability coverage, and even a cell phone allowance. And the cherry on top? After two years, each year you’ll earn a complimentary five-night stay at the Elite Retreat in Puerta Vallarta, complete with two round-trip plane tickets after three years! As we continue to grow and thrive, you’ll have endless opportunities to develop your skills, advance your career, and build your resume—all while making a real impact in our vibrant community.
We’re on the lookout for a spirited Logistics Project Manager to lead the day-to-day of our Logistics Department. If you’re brimming with energy, love to lead a team and have a knack for keeping things organized (while maybe adding a splash of fun!), you could be our perfect fit! You’ll be managing a dynamic crew of 4-6, keeping our trusty fleet of four company-owned trucks in tip-top shape, and ensuring our daily routes run as smoothly as butter on a hot pancake.
Are you a self-starter who isn’t afraid to be on your feet most of the day? Although part of this position is managing our amazing crew, you will also be jumping in on the routes 3-4 days a week. This is an active position that will require providing hands-on training while delivering the Elite Experience to each client. If you’ve got a problem-solving mindset and can keep your cool amidst the chaos, you’ll fit right in!
Prior leadership experience is a must, as this role involves building relationships, training your crew, and giving constructive feedback like a pro. And don’t worry—we believe in nurturing our leaders, so additional training will be on the menu!
We’re all about finding individuals who are seeking a fulfilling career, not just another job. At Elite Austin, we’re committed to personal development that aligns with your unique skills, interests, and goals.
We take care of our team like they’re family. Our full-time logistics positions come packed with benefits: medical, dental, paid time off, paid holidays, extra sick leave, short- and long-term disability, parental leave, and a matching 401k. Oh, and did we mention shoe reimbursement? Flexibility is also part of the package, with leave without pay available if you need it.
We work hard, and we play hard! Our quarterly company events are a time for fun and relaxation—whether it’s showing off your golf skills at TopGolf or enjoying a leisurely cruise on Lady Bird Lake, we love to connect and spend time together!
