    Job Description

    Location: Carrolton, Texas

    Job Type: Full-time | Salaried | Exempt

    A day in the life

    By 7:00 a.m., you’re walking the floor, greeting team members by name and skimming the overnight dashboard. You adjust staffing based on inbound schedules, double-check today’s outbound priorities, and set a clear plan for safety and throughput. Mid-morning, you lead a quick huddle to align shipping, receiving, and inventory control. After lunch, you’re auditing cycle counts, clearing a bottleneck at receiving, and coordinating a preventive maintenance check on a forklift. Before you wrap, you review KPIs, finalize reports, and recognize a team member who nailed a process improvement.

    What you’ll do

    • Lead, coach, and schedule warehouse associates; provide training and performance feedback to build a high-performing team.
    • Oversee inbound receiving, put-away, storage, picking, packing, and outbound shipping for accuracy and speed.
    • Safeguard inventory integrity through routine cycle counts and periodic audits; investigate and reconcile variances.
    • Champion safety: implement and enforce policies, conduct checks, and ensure compliance with all regulations.
    • Coordinate daily flow with logistics, shipping, and receiving to balance workload and eliminate bottlenecks.
    • Troubleshoot operational issues quickly; escalate when needed to keep service levels on track.
    • Monitor equipment and facility needs; initiate maintenance and partner with vendors as required.
    • Own reporting on warehouse activity, inventory levels, and workforce performance metrics.
    • Cultivate a positive, productive environment built on respect, accountability, and teamwork.

    What you bring

    • Bachelor’s degree in a related field (required).
    • Demonstrated success in warehouse operations; prior supervisory experience strongly preferred.
    • Proven leadership, people development, and team management capabilities.
    • Excellent organization and problem-solving skills with a continuous-improvement mindset.
    • Hands-on knowledge of WMS and inventory control practices.
    • Comfort working in a fast-paced setting and juggling multiple priorities with calm focus.
    • Working knowledge of warehouse safety regulations and best practices.
    • Clear, professional communication skills—both verbal and written.
    • Ability to meet the physical demands of the role, including lifting and standing for extended periods.
