Peter Wittwer Global Logistics

Lead locally. Impact globally.

Peter Wittwer Global Logistics, a trusted name in international freight forwarding and supply chain solutions for over 50 years, is seeking a dynamic Operations Manager to oversee our North Charleston branch. With a strong foundation in either import or export operations, this is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in the fast-paced world of freight forwarding and is ready to manage both key client accounts and branch operations.

At Peter Wittwer, we're more than logistics—we're a family. We believe in building careers, not just filling roles. Our people-first culture is grounded in integrity, professionalism, and long-term partnerships—and that includes how we care for our employees.

What You'll Do :

  • Oversee all daily operations of the Charleston branch, ensuring smooth handling of international shipments and high-level client service.
  • Lead and support a team of logistics professionals, setting the tone for excellence, accountability, and growth.
  • Manage client relationships with professionalism and responsiveness, acting as the go-to for account needs.
  • Ensure compliance with international regulations and company processes.
  • Track KPIs, drive operational improvements, and collaborate with senior leadership to align the branch with broader company goals.
  • Represent the Peter Wittwer brand with pride in the Charleston logistics community.

What We're Looking For :

  • Must have prior experience in international freight forwarding (this is non-negotiable).
  • 5+ years of logistics experience with a strong focus in import or export operations.
  • Proven people management or team leadership experience.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and client-facing skills.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • A leader who thrives in a collaborative environment and sets the pace with integrity.
  • Why Join Peter Wittwer?

  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
  • A family-oriented, values-driven culture where your work matters.
  • Long-standing industry reputation combined with a growth-oriented mindset.
  • Opportunity to shape the future of our Charleston office with the backing of a global company.
  • Ready to step into a role where your freight forwarding expertise and leadership will make a difference? Apply now and join a team where people come first and the work is global.
