• Ensure the warehouse is sufficiently and efficiently staffed through performance analysis, workforce planning, and corrective action when necessary.
• Oversee and direct warehouse operations (receiving, storage, inventory control, fulfillment, and shipping) through subordinate staff to ensure accuracy, productivity, and timeliness.
• Establish and enforce safety, compliance, and operational standards in accordance with company policy and OSHA requirements.
• Ensure inventory controls, systems, and staff practices result in accurate inventory records, forecasting, and documentation.
• Drive continuous improvement by evaluating processes, identifying inefficiencies, and implementing productivity and quality improvements.
• Coach, develop, and evaluate employees to maintain a high‑performing and engaged team.
• Partner with cross‑functional leaders (operations, logistics, supply chain) to align warehouse performance with business objectives.
