📍 Brooklyn, NY

💼 Full-Time | Onsite

🕒 7 Years Experience Required

About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on, results-driven Warehouse & Logistics Manager to take full ownership of our Brooklyn-based warehouse and transportation operations. This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for driving operational discipline, implementing system-driven processes, and building a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

If you’re a builder, a systems-thinker, and a leader who brings structure to chaos — this is the opportunity to make a major impact.

What You’ll Do

1. Operational Management & Discipline

• Oversee daily warehouse operations and a small fleet/driver team.
• Ensure safety, quality, productivity, and housekeeping standards are consistently met.
• Schedule and manage warehouse staff and drivers.
• Lead all inventory control processes, including cycle counting and reconciliation.
• Manage transportation logistics, routing, and carrier relationships.

2. KPI-Driven Accountability

• Design and implement KPIs covering warehouse and transportation performance.
• Build daily/weekly/monthly dashboards to measure productivity and drive continuous improvement.
• Coach, develop, and hold team members accountable to performance standards.

3. Systems & Process Transformation

• Help transition operations from manual/visual tools (whiteboards, clipboards) to system-based workflows.
• Develop and maintain SOPs for receiving, put-away, picking, packing, shipping, and dispatch.
• Drive best practices and modernize the operational discipline of the facility.

4. Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, mentor, train, and schedule warehouse associates and drivers.
• Foster a culture rooted in professionalism, safety, accountability, and team ownership.
• Identify training gaps and build a high-performing team.

5. Financial & Resource Management

• Manage operational budgets and monitor labor, freight, and other cost drivers.
• Identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising service levels.
• Ensure efficient use of space, equipment, and personnel.

What We’re Looking For

• 7 years warehouse & transportation management experience (distribution, 3PL, or military preferred).
• Strong leadership with the ability to set standards and hold teams accountable.
• Demonstrated use of ERP/WMS systems to manage warehouse operations.
• Track record of designing & managing KPIs that drove measurable results.
• Experience with routing, DOT compliance, and carrier management.
• Someone who thrives in building structure, driving discipline, and transforming operations.
• A hands-on leader who is comfortable working alongside the team when needed.
• A systems-thinker who understands how the entire warehouse-to-delivery flow works — and how to optimize it.
