Logistics Lead

About Sunday

Sunday is on a mission to empower everyone to care for their little plot of land. The simple act of getting outside, getting your hands dirty, and caring for your home is more than it seems. It's a reconnection to something written in our DNA, and it's at the core of us working together toward a better planet.

We're bringing safer, science-backed products and personalized, data-driven guidance to the American yard. Our in-house R&D team builds the products. The largest soil database ever created, along with Sunny, our AI yard companion, tailors a plan to every home.

In 2024 we helped our one millionth customer. Today Sunday offers 75+ products across lawn, garden, pest control, and pet, sold online and in about 7,000 stores nationwide, including Home Depot, Walmart, Target, and Costco. On any spring weekend, roughly 750 people are out in their yard using Sunday at any given moment. Sunday is becoming a household name, and we're making a dent.

Position Overview

As the Logistics Lead, you will be responsible for getting Sunday orders to customers. You will own our 3PL relationship with Radial for DTC and Retail fulfillment, manage orders from creation to delivery, and keep shipping fast, accurate, and cost-effective through our spring peak. You will be the main point of contact for Customer Service and Quality on anything that affects delivery.

This is a senior individual contributor role with real ownership. You will work autonomously, set the standards for how orders flow, and bring the data and judgment the Sr. Director of Supply Chain Operations needs for contract negotiations and strategic decisions. You will partner closely with the Operations Production Director, who owns Costco production and fulfillment through Innomark. Success means orders that arrive on time and in full, a well-run peak season, and a steadily lower cost per order.
