Manager, Logistics & Trucking

Mississauga, ON

Job ID 10590

Company Description

Our client is a highly respected international logistics organization with a strong Canadian presence and a long history of helping businesses move goods with accuracy, care, and confidence.

Global Reach, Local Accountability
This is an organization with the scale, systems, and service depth to support complex supply chains across multiple modes of transportation. At the same time, its Canadian operations remain close enough to the customer to make practical decisions, solve problems quickly, and build long-term relationships.

Logistics With Standards
The company places a strong emphasis on quality, compliance, safety, and dependable service. Customers rely on them not simply to move freight, but to protect timelines, manage complexity, and keep business moving when transportation challenges arise.

A Place to Lead and Build
For the right logistics leader, this is an opportunity to join a stable, established organization where operational discipline, commercial thinking, and people leadership all matter. It is a role for someone who enjoys improving how a department performs, how a team works together, and how customers experience the business.

Compensation

Base salary in the range of $85,000 to $90,000*
Health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage
RRSP/DPSP program with company matching
Paid time off, including vacation and sick days
Hybrid work arrangement based in Mississauga, Ontario
Ongoing professional development and growth opportunities
Permanent, full-time stability with a respected logistics employer

*The stated compensation range reflects the full scope of the role as currently structured and is provided in accordance with pay transparency requirements. Offers are determined based on relevant experience, demonstrated skills, internal equity, and alignment with the role’s requirements. The upper end of the range is typically reserved for candidates who fully meet all requirements and qualifications outlined in this posting and the official job description.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on leadership role for a transportation and logistics professional who understands both the operational and commercial sides of the business.

The Manager, Transportation & Logistics will oversee a department responsible for coordinating freight movement, supporting revenue goals, managing carrier and customer relationships, leading team performance, and maintaining a high standard of service. The work touches multiple areas of the supply chain, including domestic transportation, cross-border freight, FTL, LTL, transload, intermodal movement, 3PL activity, load brokering, and dispatch coordination.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants more than a maintenance role. The successful candidate will be expected to look at the department with a business owner’s mindset: where service can improve, where costs can be controlled, where carrier relationships can be strengthened, where reporting can become more useful, and where the team can be better supported.

Position Description

The Manager, Transportation & Logistics will be responsible for leading the day-to-day and longer-term performance of the department.

Overseeing logistics and trucking operations across domestic, cross-border, FTL, LTL, transload, and intermodal activity

Building and maintaining productive relationships with customers, vendors, carriers, subcontractors, and internal teams
Managing carrier qualification, rate/tariff information, vendor reviews, and related documentation
Supporting account accuracy, billing follow-up, ledger reconciliation, and the financial discipline of the department
Hiring, coaching, training, scheduling, and supporting team members
Managing workload balance, vacation planning, attendance matters, and other people-related requirements
Providing leadership that keeps the team focused, informed, accountable, and supported
Handling time-sensitive priorities with professionalism and sound judgment
Contributing to continuous improvement in service, process, reporting, and team effectiveness

Experience

Direct exposure to 3PL, load brokering, trucking, dispatch, or transportation operations
Experience with domestic and cross-border freight movement

Experience working with carriers, vendors, customers, internal operations teams, and senior management

A track record of leading people, improving performance, and maintaining service standards under pressure

Qualifications

TDG certification, or willingness to obtain it, considered an asset
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Practical leadership skills with the ability to coach, motivate, and hold a team accountable
Strong organization, prioritization, and follow-through
