You should bring:

• 5+ years of progressive warehouse or distribution center experience.

Who Will Do Well Here

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you like being close to the operation, expect accountability from your leaders, and don't wait for problems to make their way to your desk.

If you have successfully led a fast-paced, multi-shift distribution operation and are ready to take ownership of shipping performance, we'd love to talk.
