Full Job Description
Your Impact: Formlabs is a team of hands-on builders reinventing how the world makes physical things. As a Omni Channel Distribution & 3PL Operations Manager, you are the guardian of that customer experience. You will oversee our regional 3PL partners, ensuring our outbound engine is both high-velocity and cost-effective. You'll go beyond daily coordination to own the analytics of our fulfillment spend-identifying margin leakage and optimizing our carrier networks. If you are a data-driven professional who wants to sit at the intersection of operational excellence and financial performance, help us deliver the future of fabrication.

What You'll Do:
  • Lead regional outbound operations by overseeing the daily fulfillment lifecycle, ensuring 3PL partners meet strict SLAs for order processing, packaging quality, and carrier handoffs.
  • Oversee regional fulfillment and outbound shipping budgets, identifying and executing on opportunities to reduce "Cost per Order" through zone skipping, carrier diversification, and packaging optimization.
  • Direct fulfillment analytics by partnering with the Data/Systems team to build and maintain dashboards tracking key performance drivers, including OTIF (On-Time In-Full) and shipping margin leakage.
  • Collaborate on new product launches and seasonal surges, modeling fulfillment costs and ensuring regional infrastructure is prepared for volume spikes and unique handling requirements.
  • Drive the evolution of outbound routing guides, prioritizing cost-effective carrier selection while maintaining the "Estimated Delivery Date" (EDD) promised to the customer.
  • Integrate exception and recovery data into the continuous improvement process, analyzing "failed delivery" trends to identify root causes and implement corrective actions that reduce reshipment costs.
  • Mentor junior coordinators on analytical rigor, coaching the team on how to use logistics data to justify operational changes and negotiate with regional vendors.
  • Lead the strategy for regional reverse logistics and cross-border distribution (e.g., US-to-Canada), optimizing for both tax compliance and customer transit times.

About You:
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Finance, Business Analytics, or a related field.
  • Progressive experience in E-commerce fulfillment, 3PL management, or outbound logistics.
  • Strong financial acumen with proven experience managing logistics budgets, conducting freight bill audits, and performing cost-benefit analyses.
  • Exceptional analytical skills and a data-driven mindset, with the ability to navigate ERP/WMS data and translate spreadsheets into strategic narratives for leadership.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to "speak the language" of both the warehouse floor and the finance department.
  • A proven ability to solve complex operational problems while maintaining a relentless focus on the customer experience and organizational profitability.

Bonus Skills:
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel (Power Query/VBA) or SQL for independent data extraction and reporting.
  • Experience with Shopify's back-end fulfillment logic and its integration with global 3PL networks.
  • Familiarity with "Total Landed Cost" modeling and international VAT/Tax implications on regional fulfillment.
