Ready to revolutionize global logistics?
Join Reelables and help us transform how the world tracks packages. We’re pioneering paper-thin smart shipping labels using Bluetooth and 5G to track millions of packages globally — and we’re building the software platform that makes that data usable at scale.
Who we are:
At Reelables we are redefining how cargo and assets are tracked around the world. We have created the world’s first ultra-thin Bluetooth and Cellular 5G tracking labels that provide logistics visibility anywhere at an unheard of price. Scaling production is our top priority.
We’re hiring a Head of Production to take ownership of our end-to-end manufacturing operation, ensuring we can meet rapidly growing customer demand with consistency and quality.
This role is responsible for our in-house manufacturing operation - overseeing the production floor, equipment, processes, and team. You’ll lead and develop the people on the ground, improve how we operate, and ensure output scales in line with demand.
