Key job responsibilities

• Safety & compliance: Own your team's safety culture. Conduct daily safety walks, ensure all associates follow personal protective equipment and ergonomic standards, and address hazards immediately. Lead initiatives to reduce product damage and shipping defects.
• Shift management: Plan and assign work across your team to meet daily volume targets and shipping deadlines. Monitor real-time performance dashboards, adjust staffing levels, and reassign resources to close productivity gaps during your shift.

A day in the life

You start your shift by reviewing the daily plan: expected order volume, available headcount, and shipping deadlines. In a quick pre-shift meeting you align your team on priorities, safety reminders, and quality focus areas. Throughout the shift you walk the warehouse floor observing packing stations, checking throughput, and coaching associates in real time. When a shipping deadline is at risk, you reallocate labor, remove bottlenecks, and communicate the recovery plan to your manager. You hold brief one-on-one conversations with associates about their performance and growth. At the end of the shift you hand off key metrics and open issues to the incoming manager. Your key stakeholders are the associates on your team, the senior manager you report to, and the downstream transportation network that depends on accurate, on-time shipments.
