    We are hiring a hands-on General Manager to take command of a high-value electronics supply chain and reverse logistics operation. If you’ve rebuilt operations, driven speed and accuracy, and know how to lead from the floor to the P&L—this is your opportunity.

    Key Operational Pillars (What You Will Own)

    • The Velocity Engine – You own the clock. Every hour inventory sits is a loss. Drive dock-to-stock and dock-to-ship speed.

    • The Quality Sentinel – Enforce ISO 9001 / 14001 discipline and lead forensic-level inspection standards.

    • Technical Services & Data Integrity – Oversee testing, data wiping, and secure handling of high-value components.

    • ERP & Systems Mastery – Own SAP/WMS systems for full visibility and seamless RMA execution.

    • Strategic Turnaround & Growth – Build, restructure, and scale operations to Tier 1 performance.

    Core Responsibilities

    • Operational Command – Full P&L ownership and end-to-end management of the RMA lifecycle for two distinct divisions

    • Performance Architecture – Develop advanced KPI dashboards and reporting systems to drive real-time visibility into TAT, accuracy, and labor efficiency

    • Loss & Risk Control – Implement robust shrink prevention and loss mitigation controls to protect high-value electronic assets and data privacy

    • Financial Oversight – Own operational budgeting and drive aggressive cost-optimization initiatives

    • Leadership & Recruitment – Recruit, mentor, and lead a cross-functional management team; build a high-performance culture

    • Strategic Partnership – Partner with ownership on operational growth initiatives and long-term scaling strategy

    • Compliance & SOPs – Maintain and enforce all SOPs and security controls aligned with ISO and corporate standards

    Requirements & Qualifications

    Core Requirements:

    • 10+ years of progressive leadership in 3PL, electronics supply chain, or reverse logistics

    • Strong hands-on experience with RMA / reverse logistics (REQUIRED)

    • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business, or related field

    • Advanced expertise in SAP, WMS, or equivalent ERP systems

    • Strong analytical capability with advanced Excel and KPI-driven management

    • Proven track record in operational build-outs, restructuring, or turnaround environments

    Preferred:

    • Experience with Tier 1 / multinational organizations

    • MBA, Master’s degree, Six Sigma Black Belt, or Lean certification

    • Familiarity with computer hardware components and data sanitization standards (e.g., NIST 800-88)

    Physical / Work Environment

    • Ability to walk and stand for extended periods (6–8 hours) in a warehouse environment

    • Strong visual attention to detail for identifying technical defects or CID

    • Ability to handle and move electronic components (up to 25 lbs)

    • Comfortable working in a fast-paced warehouse environment with varying conditions

    Not a Fit If You:

    • Avoid hands-on operational leadership

    • Can’t own KPIs, P&L, and accountability

    • Lack real reverse logistics experience

    Job Type: Full-time

    Benefits:
