• Coordinate deliveries and movement of materials across NYC locations
• Manage and support the maker and warehouse team
• Build a culture of accountability, ownership, and follow‑through

Operations & Process Improvement

• Create and refine systems, workflows, and protocols
• Identify inefficiencies and implement scalable improvements

Requirements

• Ability to lift 20+ lbs
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, and perform physical tasks for extended periods
• Comfort navigating NYC for deliveries and logistics coordination

What Success Looks Like

• Materials are prepared accurately and on time
• The warehouse runs smoothly and stays organized
