Job Description
Logistics & Supply Chain Specialist (Mission Logistics & Supply Chain Support)
Blackrock Strategy, Inc. | Remote (U.S. Based) | CONUS & OCONUS Travel Required
Full-Time | Secret Clearance Eligible
Operations rarely fail because of a lack of capability.
They fail when logistics slow down, supply chains break, timelines compress, and operational support cannot keep pace with mission demands.
This role exists to prevent that.
Blackrock Strategy, Inc. is seeking a Logistics & Supply Chain Specialist to support defense initiatives and international operations through hands-on logistics coordination, supply chain execution, operational support, and field-based mission activities.
This is not a traditional office-based logistics role.
This position supports dynamic operational environments where responsiveness, adaptability, organization, and execution directly impact mission readiness. The ideal candidate is comfortable coordinating material movement, managing logistics and supply chain activities, supporting operational teams, and adapting quickly to changing mission requirements.
