Lead the Floor. Move the Mission.

You arrive to the warehouse with a plan: scan the WMS dashboard, spot priority waves, and position the team for success. You brief associates on the day’s goals, assign roles across picking, packing, staging, loading, receiving, and replenishment, and jump in where you’re needed—coaching, removing roadblocks, and keeping quality high.
