Transport Logistics Manager (SLTI) – Job Description

Company : Six Labs Transport (SLTI), a subsidiary of Six Labs Illinois, LLC

Reports to: Vice President of Operations

About the role

We are actively expanding our transport operations and need a leader who can drive that growth while making the operation more efficient, more data-driven and easier to scale.

The Logistics Manager leads Six Labs Transport, a licensed cannabis transporter delivering for Six Labs brands and outside clients to dispensaries across Illinois. You own the drivers, the routes, the fleet and transport compliance, and you make sure every delivery leaves on time, arrives intact and is documented correctly.

This is a people-first leadership role. The right person builds a team that feels supported, sets clear expectations, develops their drivers, and creates real coverage so the operation never depends on one person. You are calm under pressure, communicate openly, and treat safety as the first priority.

Responsibilities

Team leadership

• Lead, schedule and coach the driver team and the Transport Client Relations & Driver Lead.
• Hold regular one-on-ones and give clear, timely, respectful feedback.
• Review and approve timesheets and PTO consistently, and communicate any changes to the employee.
• Build documented processes and cross-training so every task has a backup and people can take time off.
• Model professionalism inside and outside work, and resolve issues at the right level before escalating.

Transport clients

• Serve as the main contact for transport clients and dispensaries on day-to-day delivery logistics: scheduling, appointment changes, delays and delivery exceptions.
• Notify clients promptly when a delivery time or route changes, and confirm the new appointment.
• Partner with the Transport Client Relations & Driver Lead, who owns client relationships, takes client concerns and grows new business, so service issues are resolved and client feedback reaches operations.
• Review capacity, routing and scheduling with the Lead before new or expanded service is committed to a client.

Compliance

• Ensure all transports meet Illinois cannabis transportation rules, including manifests, agent credentials and security requirements.
• Maintain transport records in METRC and support audits and inspections.

Growth and operational effectiveness

• Keep systems and records clean and consistent so data can be trusted.

Reporting and billing support

• Track and report transport KPIs such as on-time rate, cost per stop and client volume.
• Provide accurate run data for SLTI billing and work with accounting on invoicing questions.
