Position Overview

RAR is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Transport Director to oversee and manage all aspects of animal transportation — particularly out-of-state adoptions.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on logistics, timelines, and clear communication. The Transport Director ensures that every animal safely makes it from origin to destination by coordinating with transport teams, adopters, fosters, and board members.

On scheduled transport days, this position requires near 24-hour availability to address schedule changes, updates, delays, and any unexpected issues that may arise.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate all out-of-state and long-distance animal transports
• Communicate directly with the transportation team and drivers
• Schedule and confirm accurate pick-up and drop-off locations
• Ensure logistics align with foster, shelter, and adopter timelines
• Maintain detailed records of transport plans and confirmations
• Monitor transport progress on travel days
• Provide real-time updates to adopters, fosters, and leadership
• Remain available on transport days to address timing changes, questions, or concerns
• Ensure timely arrivals and smooth handoffs at all locations
• Attend monthly board meetings

Qualifications & Ideal Candidate

• Strong logistical and organizational skills
• Calm under pressure and able to problem-solve quickly
• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal)
• Detail-oriented with the ability to track multiple moving parts
• Comfortable being available for extended hours on transport days
• Experience in transportation coordination, dispatching, or event logistics is a plus
• Passion for animal rescue and commitment to safety

Why This Role Matters

Every successful transport represents a life changed — sometimes across state lines. The Transport Director plays a direct role in ensuring animals arrive safely, adopters feel confident, and our rescue maintains a professional, reliable reputation.

This role requires responsibility, dedication, and heart — but the reward is knowing you helped an animal reach their forever home.

If you are organized, dependable, and ready to take ownership of a critical operational role, we would love to hear from you.
