About the Role:
We are looking for a senior, independent Logistics & Supply Chain Optimization Consultant to assess and optimize our international logistics operations, with an initial focus on the Israel - US supply chain.
You will take a fresh, data-driven look at our current logistics model, including contracts, providers, transportation routes, costs, and customs processes, identify inefficiencies and savings opportunities, and develop practical solutions to build a more efficient, cost-effective, and scalable logistics chain.
This role requires someone who can work independently, challenge existing solutions, conduct market research, evaluate alternative providers and logistics models, and take recommendations from analysis through implementation.
The initial engagement will be project-based, with the potential to expand into new logistics directions, broader supply chain optimization, and a long-term consulting partnership based on the impact and results delivered.

• Strong knowledge of the Israeli logistics and transportation market, with hands-on experience working with major logistics companies, freight forwarders, carriers, customs brokers, and other logistics service providers.

• International logistics experience is essential, with a strong understanding of the US market and Israel–US logistics flows. Experience with European and Asian markets will be a significant advantage.
