The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  KFC is hiring a Logistics Manager in Victorville, CA.

• Role description

  We're hiring a mentorship-focused Logistics Manager in Victorville to make the case for the projects that deserve funding and quietly retire the ones that don't. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $98,000 - $158,000 and freelance hours come standard, but the business reins are the real prize.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Find the deeply technical lever that moves the metric leadership cares about most
  • Carry an unfussy business problem from whiteboard to working pilot in Victorville, CA
  • Set up the Victorville, CA team to make calls without waiting on you
  • Run the numbers on build-versus-buy before KFC signs anything
  • Prepare board-ready presentations and quarterly business reviews
  • Find the $98,000 - $158,000 of value hiding in a process everyone tolerates
  • Surface the two or three metrics that decide whether a Logistics Manager bet paid off

  What You'll Bring

  • A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
  • Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
  • Willingness to relocate to Victorville, CA, or to make remote work
  • Hands-on familiarity with Adaptability, sharpened by Blue Yonder side projects
  • Roughly 8+ years operating in a similar Logistics Manager position
  • The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly

  KFC has quietly become one of the most forever-learning names in business, all from a modest office in Victorville, CA. Diverse perspectives make our business work sharper, and we deliberately seek them out.
