Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Sandy, UT
Contract type: Contractor
For over 50 years KENT OUTDOORS has been the ultimate destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a curated collection of industry-leading brands driven by the pure pursuit of adventure.
KENT Outdoors is a collection of brands all obsessively focused on building the most innovative and reliable equipment for use in our most revered natural playgrounds. We relentlessly dream, build, and offer products that empower the very best days outside. We’re a collection of outdoor fanatics, product geeks, marketing mavens, and entrepreneurs all focused on pushing through boundaries, both on land, and in the water.

Your Impact
The Logistics Coordinator is a vital member of the Supply Chain team. This role is responsible for inbound and outbound logistics. This team member will work closely with the procurement team and the distribution team. The primary duty of the Logistics Coordinator is to control the movement of raw materials and finished goods so that customers receive items when due.
What You’ll Do
You go “all out.” You tend to approach everything you do with velocity. From your next exhilarating outdoor adventure to scaling meaningful peaks at work, you act with speed, direction, ethics, and forethought. Your efficiency is rooted in the knowledge that resources are not infinite. You are goal-oriented and focused on outcomes. When you see a challenge or obstacle to overcome, you jump in collaboratively to find a solution; team achievements should be celebrated more than individual performance. You are compelled to share your perspective because it is rooted in experience and synthesis thinking - you know that healthy debate yields better decisions. You are humble despite your impressive past accomplishments. Your communication style is honest and forthright, yet empathetic, with everyone.
KENT Outdoors is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
