Manager, Global Reverse Logistics Full Time NEW

About the role and about You:

You will own execution of Zwift’s global reverse logistics operation—everything that happens after a return is initiated by a customer or partner. This includes returns processing, inspection, disposition, refurbishment, warranty routing, inventory recovery, and financial workflows across both direct-to-consumer (D2C) and business-to-business (B2B) channels.

Reverse logistics is one of the largest cost drivers in our hardware business—and a significant opportunity to improve margin, recover value, and enhance customer and partner experience. In this role, you will not just manage workflows; you will design, scale, and optimize them across both physical and financial flows.

You will focus on reducing cost, improving cycle time, and maximizing recovery across high-volume SKUs and regions.

Success is defined by a fast, cost-efficient, and scalable operation with strong recovery rates, minimal scrap, accurate financial execution, and end-to-end visibility at the unit level.

You are a hands-on operator who can turn ambiguity into scalable systems and deliver measurable results through partners, process, and data.

What you’ll do:

• Own end-to-end reverse logistics operations globally across D2C and B2B channels, including intake, inspection, disposition, and routing
• Define and optimize disposition logic and refurbishment workflows to maximize recovery value, reduce scrap, and enable resale and replacement programs
• Manage global 3PL partners and reverse logistics network performance, including SLAs, throughput, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Drive cost and cycle time improvements through transportation strategy (carrier selection, routing, consolidation) and cost-to-serve optimization
• Own B2B returns workflows, including authorization, policy enforcement, and accurate, timely credit issuance in partnership with Finance and Commercial teams
• Build scalable operations by defining system requirements and implementing workflows across ERP, returns platforms, and WMS
• Partner cross-functionally with Customer Support, Product, Hardware, and Finance to reduce return rates, improve product quality, and ensure operational and financial accuracy
• Establish and manage key performance metrics (cost, quality, delivery, financial accuracy), using data to drive decisions and continuous improvement
• Support warranty operations by optimizing repair vs. replacement decisions and spare parts utilization

What we’re looking for:

• 5–8+ years of experience in reverse logistics, supply chain, or operations, preferably in consumer hardware or durable goods
• Experience managing 3PLs and external partners in a global environment
• Strong operator mindset with a track record of building and scaling processes—not just managing them
• Demonstrated ability to improve cost, quality, and speed in logistics or returns operations
• Experience with B2B returns, RMA workflows, and credit/reconciliation processes within ERP systems (NetSuite or similar preferred)
• Ability to work cross-functionally with Support, Product, Finance, and Engineering teams
• Data-driven, with the ability to define metrics, analyze performance, and act on insights
• Experience with ERP/WMS systems (NetSuite or similar preferred)
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where processes are not yet defined

Bonus points:

• Experience with refurbishment, repair, or recommerce programs (CPO, resale, trade-in)
• Familiarity with returns or warranty platforms (e.g., Two Boxes, Claimlane, or similar)
• Background in hardware products (fitness, electronics, bikes, or similar)
• Experience with inventory recovery, grading standards, or parts harvesting workflows
• Experience supporting wholesale, retail, or distributor return programs with financial reconciliation
• Exposure to global warranty operations or service networks
