Description

Step Up to the Plate as Our Warehouse Supervisor!

Location: Woodridge, IL
Department: Supply Chain
Pay: $80,000-$92,000 per year

At Home Run Inn, we believe pizza should do more than fill you up - it should lift you up.

For nearly 100 years, we've been bringing people together over authentic Chicago tavern-style pizza. Behind every great pizza is an incredible team, and behind every great operation is a team that takes pride in getting the details right.

That's where you come in.

If you're a hands-on leader who knows how to keep people, products, and processes moving, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and believes great operations are built through teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

As our Warehouse Supervisor, you'll lead the day-to-day warehouse operation at our Woodridge manufacturing facility. You'll help make sure the right materials are in the right place at the right time - supporting our production teams, customer orders, and ultimately, getting more Home Run Inn pizza into the hands of our guests.

You'll lead a team across Shipping, Receiving, Components, Raw Materials, Packaging, and Finished Goods while balancing safety, quality, inventory accuracy, productivity, and customer service.

You'll also be a key partner to Supply Chain, Production, Quality, Finance, and other teams across the business.
