Local Crafts is looking for a Distribution Center Manager to take full ownership of our Grand Prairie, TX production and distribution facility, serving our wholesale brands. This is a rare chance to build and refine a warehouse operation in its early stages: the processes, the culture, and the standards that will define how this site runs for years to come

What You'll Do

• Take full ownership of daily operations at the Grand Prairie facility, including receiving, production, inventory, picking/packing, and outbound shipping.
• Build the operational foundation for a brand new site: establish SOPs, staffing plans, and shift coverage from scratch.
• Lead and mentor area managers, supervisors, and warehouse teams, building a culture of accountability, safety, and continuous improvement.
• Drive improvements in order accuracy, inventory control, productivity, and throughput as the facility ramps up.
• Identify bottlenecks and develop scalable solutions through root cause analysis and structured process improvement methods.
• Act as a power user of our WMS, ERP (NetSuite), and warehouse automation systems, and champion consistent, system-driven workflows across the team.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized facility that meets OSHA and company standards.
• Partner with customer service, procurement, supply chain planning, finance, product, and technology teams to keep operations running smoothly.
• Collaborate with HR on hiring, employee relations, onboarding, and training as you build out your team.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a comfort level using data to guide decisions.
• Experience with WMS/ERP systems (NetSuite preferred) and warehouse automation tools.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills.

You’ll Thrive Here If

• You genuinely want to build something new rather than maintain something established.
• You've led layout redesigns, capacity planning, or facility launches before.
• You have Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement training.
• You've worked in SKU-intensive environments like crafts, textiles, beauty, or consumer goods.
• You take ownership seriously and hold yourself and your team to a high standard.
