I guess the Vice President of Supply chain followed by director of operations. According to my research VPs get paid a little over $12k a month.

Hello there, OP! My guess would probably be Director of Logistics. Their salary would range between $87,500-$132,000 per year.

It has got to be the Commodity Manager. I think they get paid nowhere lower than $93k. I could be wrong but that's just my opinion.

My top 3 would be: #1 VP of Supply Chain, #2 Director of Operations, and #3 Commodity Manager.

Director of Operations followed by Operations Manager. At least in our company. It would also very much depend on your location.

I think the highest would be VP level. The second would be Director of Operations/Logistics. The pay is around $87k-$131k.

It would be the role of Vice President and Director. Well, the salary varies depending on location. But these are the highest paying roles in logistics, that's for sure.

Subletting a large, sunny studio in luxury building in Hudson Yards. Lots of closet space, lots of windows, great building management. Also a great layout - t shaped, so you get separate living and sleeping space, and privacy when answering the door. Amenities include a big gym and a rooftop with the best Manhattan views (Empire State, Chrysler, Hells Kitchen, Hudson River sunsets).

Furnished, unfurnished can be discussed.
