The Operations Manager owns results for a shift of about 20 hourly employees and is accountable for the full operating picture for their department - safety, quality, productivity, and cost - not just day-to-day supervision.

- 5+ years of warehouse experience in a managerial role
- Proven capability in identifying and implementing CI actions that deliver measurable improvements to cost, service and quality
