• Support and drive the implementation of new Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and technology tools to improve operational visibility and execution.
• Manage labor planning, budgeting, and forecasting to align resources with business needs.
• Maintain compliance with safety, quality, and customer SLA standards.
• Develop strong, collaborative relationships with department leaders to ensure alignment across facilities.
• Play a key role in new facility launches , from planning through execution.
• Foster a positive, accountable workplace culture — one that prioritizes team engagement, fairness, and performance.
• Coach, develop, and hold team members to high standards of professionalism and productivity.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of senior distribution or supply chain leadership experience in multi-site operations.
• Proven ability to use analytics to drive operational decisions and improve performance .
• Deep understanding of inventory control, logistics, and warehouse KPIs.
• Strong track record of WMS implementation and process optimization.
• Experience managing large teams (100+ employees) in high-volume environments.
• Experience in opening and scaling new facilities is strongly preferred.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and people management skills, able to be both approachable and assertive .
• Tech-savvy and fluent in Excel, WMS platforms, and dashboard / reporting tools.
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business, or a related field.

What We Offer

• A dynamic leadership role in a growing and respected company
• The opportunity to shape national distribution strategy and execution
• Competitive compensation and benefits package
• A high-performing, team-first culture focused on excellence and innovation
