Join our Voyage at OrnamentallyYou as a Warehouse & Operations Manager!

Who We Are:

OrnamentallyYou is where exquisite home decor and unparalleled creativity converge. We began our journey with a passion for transforming living spaces into realms of beauty and inspiration. From holiday ornaments to a diverse array of artisan-crafted decor, our company embodies personal expression and individuality. Celebrated for our rapid growth, with over 200% year-over-year expansion, we’re recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. Yet, we remain a scrappy, bootstrapped enterprise at heart, ready to welcome those who share our vision of exceptional living and artful experiences.

Overview:

In the midst of unprecedented growth, we’re searching for a Warehouse and Operations Manager who will be the stabilizing force behind our logistical operations. Your primary mission is to ensure that our warehouse operates seamlessly, fostering an environment where efficiency and productivity thrive. Additionally, you will help me work on the business, instead of just in the business.

In this role you will be responsible for keeping the rocket ship steady in our blossoming startup by making sure that warehouse workers are trained, performing their tasks.

What You'll Do:

- **Warehouse Mastery**: Oversee an organized, efficient warehouse optimized for scalability.

- **Team Leadership**: Direct onboarding, mentor team members, and potentially hire assistant managers.

- **Communication**: Communicate in writing often with our virtual staff by utilizing our company chat software, Slack. In one phrase, you are the bridge between online and offline.

- **Systems Development**: Transition from an oral tradition of knowledge-sharing to established, scalable systems. We use software like Notion to build SOPs

- **Supply Management**: Handle the procurement of essential warehouse supplies, readying us for growth spurts.

- **Versatility**: Embrace and navigate the exhilarating challenges of a rapidly expanding business.

Ideal Qualities:

- Fluency in English with excellent verbal and written communication skills.

- A record of hard work, endurance, and the ability to stay the course.

- A fast learner, ready to adapt to a wealth of new tasks and systems.

- Leadership prowess, able to guide with encouragement and honesty.

- Extreme proficiency with the internet ; if you’ve had experience with systems and softwares then that’s a huge plus (we use programs such as Shopify, Notion, Slack, Photoshop, Shipstation, etc)

- Adept with technology, experienced in systems, and software adeptness is a strong advantage.

- Physical fitness to meet warehouse demands energetically.

- Comfort with autonomy. As i've implied, you will help us build these systems, not come in and follow a protocol from A-Z. You're a leader, and an essential piece to our success.

- Honesty. Everyone says it. No, I mean brutal honesty. Your voice will be valued and you will make a huge impact on the future trajectory of this company! If something is wrong, I expect you to say it and then we find a way to fix it.

Requirements:

- A dedication to at least 40 hours per week.

- Availability on crucial shopping days and the lead-up to the holiday season.

- Willingness to work any given day during our peak season, October to December, as we bring a year's worth of preparation to life.

- Motivated to deal with pressure, as during the last 6-8 weeks of the year are very intense and extraordinary. It's a war, not a cruise, and you have to be battle ready.

- To piggyback on the above, the ability to make quick but informed decisions, and many of them

- Delegation: as mentioned earlier you will delegate many roles to others as things get very busy and hard for one person to do.

Location:

While we currently reside in Mahwah, we’re exploring new horizons from Mahwah to Fairfield, New Jersey. The exact destination is to be determined, but we promise the adventure will be worthwhile.

Aspirational Benefits:

This is more than a job; it's a journey toward personal and professional landmarks. Here, you'll have the chance to step into significant leadership roles and make a substantial impact on our company's trajectory. As we soar to new heights, we invite you to climb with us.

Compensation:

We’re proud to offer a salary that grows with our company, guaranteeing annual increases, with bonuses acknowledging your commitment through our busiest season. If you're in it for short term gain and money, this is not the right position for you. We are in no way in a position to offer competitive salaries with large companies like Amazon. But unlike those short term opportunities, with us, you have major potential for long term gain in the form of an upwards trajectory that far exceeds what you would find in most other places.

Ready to join a company where your work is celebrated, and your growth is assured? Apply to be a part of the OrnamentallyYou family, and let's build a future as remarkable as our decor.

Your potential is our passion. We look forward to welcoming you aboard. Apply now and let's flourish together!

Mike
