We are creating a new, dynamic Procurement team and are looking for a talented Logistics Coordinator to coordinate freight operations. 

CastleGate Forwarding (CGF) is a rapidly growing digital freight forwarding start-up within Wayfair, specialising in global container movement. We offer a full suite of logistics services—including Asia consolidation, ocean freight, haulage, customs brokerage, and cargo insurance—to provide Wayfair suppliers with competitive and efficient shipping solutions. Our proprietary end-to-end logistics network drives speed, quality, and cost efficiency.

As a Logistics Coordinator, you will coordinate key aspects of freight haulage operations, ensuring smooth coordination across carriers, ports, and warehouses. You will collaborate closely with internal and external teams, problem solving and driving operational outputs. 

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a little bit of work experience in an administrative role who is highly organised and really looking to progress in their career, and learn a wealth of new skills. 

What you’ll do:

Coordinating with our carriers, warehouses and the ports, you’ll ensure a timely transit process, whilst analysing operational trends and proposing data driven process improvements. You’ll partner with teams such as CastleGate Operations, Account Manager and Carrier Performance to align communications between our suppliers and prioritise our initiatives.

You’ll have exposure to working closely with Suppliers, highlighting any business impacts and escalating where necessary, with the opportunity to develop supplier relationship skills.  

What you’ll have: 

This is an ideal role for you if you have strong analytical skills combined with the ability to influence and persuade vendors without requiring the support of your manager. You’ll have high levels of attention to details, strong administrative skills and brilliant problem solving skills where you can identify the root cause of a problem swiftly, communicate it to the relevant parties and execute a quick solution. 

Experience of working within a Logistics or Supply Chain background is beneficial but not essential. 

This role will give you a lot of opportunity to learn and develop your skills, therefore, if you meet some of the criteria that we have mentioned above but not all, we would still encourage you to apply.
