Matium Logistics Operations Manager Millersville, MD · Full time Company website

Apply for Logistics Operations Manager

Founded in 2021 by a former plastics trader and his cousin, Matium is building the digital ecosystem for manufacturers, producers, recyclers, distributors, and traders of raw materials to transact directly with one another. What started in plastics has grown into a rapidly expanding network of over 900 companies — including industry leaders transacting hundreds of millions of pounds of material through the platform. In 2026, Matium is expanding beyond plastics into adjacent markets including paper, metals, and industrial packaging. Matium combines a private CRM/ERP, a verified trading network, a peer-to-peer marketplace with AI-powered matchmaking and auction capabilities, automated freight booking, and embedded transaction financing. Companies can join and trade for free, with premium offerings designed to either fully automate deal execution (“Verified”) or empower internal teams with market intelligence and workflow optimization (“Intelligence”). At its core, Matium exists to modernize how raw materials move — reducing financial waste, operational friction, and unnecessary complexity across global supply chains. We are building long-term market infrastructure, not just software.

Our Core Values

Work Smart

We believe in thinking before acting. Strategy comes first. We ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and design systems that scale. Speed matters — but intelligent speed matters more.

Be Open

We are open to learning, open to being wrong, and open with each other. We value honesty over comfort and transparency over politics. Growth requires humility — and humility creates trust.

Move Forward

We reflect, we learn, and then we keep going. We do not dwell on mistakes or cling to ego. We correct, adapt, and progress. Momentum is earned through consistent forward movement.
