Role Fit Criticality

• The Warehouse manager team has 4 HC (2 Manager & 2 Assistant Manager) which is required to rotate their shift (one manager & one assistant manager tender recently). So, 2 persons in the morning, 2 persons in the afternoon. Each shift requires continuous monitoring of overall warehouse operation, monitoring the project status, monitoring 3PL operation & any ad hoc support during peak season to support 24 hours of production and ensure smooth operation. If 2 managers work for 2 shifts, coverage and monitoring become challenging, especially for project timelines.
• Due to peak order volumes in the second half of the year, failure to fill this vacancy will result in delays for production fulfilment and potential impact on productivity. The project will pile up to meet the given timeline.
• Immediate recruitment is necessary to onboard the new hire before the peak season at the end of Q3 and Q4
• The vacancy arises from the current warehouse assistant manager resigning and requires replacement.
