WHAT WE DO

InLog INC is the parent company behind a growing family of businesses: InLog Freight, a domestic carrier operating a Class A CDL fleet across four states, and InLog International, a B2B ecommerce platform pioneering the connection of American goods to high-growth international markets, starting with Vietnam.

You will own HR administrative processes end-to-end, act as the first point of contact for employee questions, and partner closely with leadership and the Head of HR to ensure our people operations are compliant, consistent, and employee-friendly.
