• Ensure quality & safety: maintain top‑tier standards for product handling, reduce damage and loss risks, and ensure proper storage conditions for baby products.
• Monitor capacity & flow: track dock schedules, storage capacity, and inventory levels to prevent bottlenecks and optimize space utilization.
• Cultivate a positive culture: build a collaborative, motivated weekend team by resolving conflicts, encouraging feedback, and welcoming innovation.

Qualifications

• Experienced Leader: 5+ years of management experience and at least 3 years in warehouse or fulfillment center operations, specifically in inbound receiving and inventory management.
• Inbound & Inventory Expert: expertise in managing receiving operations, optimizing put‑away processes, maintaining inventory accuracy, and executing cycle count programs in high‑volume environments.
• Operational Excellence Driver: ability to streamline processes, solve challenges quickly, and drive efficiency across receiving docks, storage locations, and inventory control systems.
• Team Builder: skill in creating and leading training programs, implementing SOPs, and fostering a positive, growth‑focused culture.
• Exceptional Communicator: motivation and clear communication; thrives in collaborating with carriers, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
• Problem Solver: data‑driven and resourceful, identifies discrepancies, analyzes root causes, and delivers smart solutions to inventory challenges.
• Safety Champion: strong track record of enforcing safety protocols, especially in receiving and material handling areas.
• Adaptable Innovator: embraces change, adapts quickly, and leads teams through operational transitions with confidence.
• Tech‑savvy & AI‑forward: comfortable with WMS, barcode scanning systems and emerging AI tools to optimize workflows, track accuracy, and drive continuous improvement.
• Employee Relations Aware: experience managing employee relations issues, documenting incidents, and collaborating with HR or leadership.
• Quality Focused: attention to detail in ensuring receiving accuracy directly impacts downstream fulfillment success.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods (up to 10–12 hours per shift) with scheduled breaks.
• Ability to walk the floor extensively, averaging 10,000+ steps per day.
• Ability to lift and move items up to 20 lbs occasionally throughout the shift.
