Leveraging advanced expertise in automation, intelligent logistics, and data-driven operations, we deliver end-to-end logistics solutions that help businesses grow while enhancing customer experience.

Our capabilities span the entire supply chain, including warehousing, line-haul transportation, last-mile delivery, bulky goods logistics, cold chain solutions, and cross-border operations. Our mission is simple: to deliver speed, reliability, and operational excellence at every stage of the supply chain.

Context of the Position

As part of our strategic international expansion, JD Logistics is establishing its core infrastructure within the Italian market, driven by the launch of our small-goods fulfillment operations. This is a critical greenfield deployment phase, which requires our founding leadership team to manage high operational fluidity, establish local processes from the ground up, and translate centralized global capabilities into localized execution.

This position is designed for a highly organized, active frontline operational leader who thrives on the warehouse floor. The role demands an execution-focused supervisor who can manage large teams of receiving and stowing operators, drive real-time inventory accuracy targets, and maintain flawless safety standards during inbound shift windows.

The Mission & Core Scope

• The Mission: Lead, motivate, and direct daily inbound shift operations (dock unloading, detailed quality inspection, scanning, and high-velocity stowing) to ensure all incoming inventory is captured and made available for customer orders instantly.
• The Scope: You will take direct, hands-on floor responsibility for the inbound receiving dock and stowing zones, tracking hourly dock-to-stock metrics, resolving sorting bottlenecks, and enforcing compliance.

Crucial Expectations & Performance Targets

To provide a clear understanding of the accountability required, the successful candidate will be evaluated on the following key metrics during the initial 6 to 12 months:

• Hourly Dock-to-Stock Execution (SLA): Successfully meet or exceed target metrics for trailer unloading and item registration, minimizing the time between vehicle arrival and inventory availability.
• Defect & Shortage Control: Maintain near-perfect tracking accuracy during product receipt, identifying supplier discrepancies, damaged packaging, or quantity mismatches before items enter the main storage matrix.
• Frontline Labor Management: Oversee real-time operator allocation across receiving bays and storage aisles, track attendance, and manage shift handovers smoothly while maintaining high morale and a proactive safety culture.
• Storage Space Optimization: Coordinate closely with inventory control teams to ensure goods are stowed in 100% compliance with localized automated picking profiles, maximizing spatial density and layout efficiency.

Position Requirements

• Greenfield Launch Expertise: You must have a verified background of acting as a team leader, dock coordinator, or senior captain within a high-volume e-commerce fulfillment center, high-velocity 3PL, or retail distribution hub during a site launch or major peak season.
• Frontline Floor Mastery: Proven experience leading large groups of blue-collar workers (30+ operators) and deep familiarity with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), pallet-inbound tracking, and RF scanning equipment.
• Language Proficiency: Professional fluency in English and Italian is mandatory to ensure clear operational alignment with international management and fluent direction of local floor staff. Knowledge of Mandarin is a valuable asset.
• Operational Flexibility: High adaptability regarding shift rotations (including early mornings, nights, and weekends) to guarantee complete operational coverage for a 24/7 launch cycle.
