Meet the team:

The Real Estate and Workplace Services Team (REWS), is an integral crossfunction support team comprised of Facilities, Security, Logistics, and Real Estate groups.  This team is responsible for internal and external site coordination across all Latitude locations, as well as support for employees and external guests. The Logistics Coordinator I role will support shipping, receiving, and asset management across the organization. This role will independently execute the daily responsibilities of shipping, receiving, and asset management based on requests from business partners. Additionally, this role contributes to the overall success of the REWS team through cross-functional support within facilities, security, reception, event planning, and project execution.    

This contract will be 12 months in length.

What you’ll do: 

Logistics oversees the end-to-end flow of goods across the company, including shipping, receiving, and asset management for all Latitude sites. The team manages the majority of the product lifecycle for assets supporting Engineering, Operations, and Enterprise Services from intake through fulfillment and beyond. This includes end-user devices, IT architecture for sites, storage devices for vehicle operations, hardware components for vehicle and bench builds, and everything in-between.    

Responsibilities include receiving inventory from suppliers and internal teams, creating internal SKUs, building and maintaining product profiles across systems, tagging serialized assets, recording quantities, and organizing warehouse storage. On the fulfillment side, the team processes requests, confirms inventory availability, picks and stages orders, packages shipments, prepares shipping documentation, updates system records, and manages tracking, delivery confirmation, and returns from users or decommissioned assets. Most aspects of this role involve managing and communicating through ticket requests and utilizing a variety of systems to accomplish a wide breadth of tasks.
