Senior Operations Manager
Full Time Senior Management Edison, NJ, US
Salary Range: $95,000.00 To $105,000.00 Annually
Ready to Lead Operations From the Floor?
Port Jersey Logistics Network is looking for an experienced Senior Operations Manager to lead the day-to-day execution of a high-volume, dedicated customer operation.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows that strong operations aren't built from behind a desk. We're looking for a leader who is visible on the floor, develops strong teams, uses data to make decisions, and knows how to turn operational goals into consistent results.
You'll work closely with the Site Manager while taking ownership of daily execution, process improvement, labor efficiency, team development, inventory accuracy, and service performance.
If you're the kind of leader who sees a bottleneck and wants to fix the process behind it—not just put a temporary solution in place—we want to meet you.
What You'll Do
Lead the daily execution of warehouse operations across receiving, inventory control, picking, QA, and outbound shipping
Maintain a strong presence on the warehouse floor to monitor workflow, identify challenges, and keep operations moving
Turn operational goals into clear SOPs, daily labor plans, and shift-level expectations
Drive accountability and consistent execution across departments and shifts
Coach and develop Assistant Operations Managers, Supervisors, and Team Leads
Establish clear performance expectations and create development plans for your leadership team
Monitor daily throughput, labor efficiency, inventory accuracy, and customer service levels
Partner with the Site Manager to identify operational risks and provide data and floor-level insight to support decision-making
Use root-cause analysis to identify and resolve recurring operational issues
Balance labor across departments to meet volume demands while managing overtime
Track operational KPIs such as UPH, dock-to-stock, case throughput, order accuracy, and OTIF
Identify opportunities to improve workflows, processes, and facility layout
Partner across departments to create a more efficient, connected, and predictable operation
Maintain high standards for safety, quality, productivity, and overall floor conditions
What We're Looking For
5–8+ years of progressive leadership experience in high-volume warehousing, distribution, or contract logistics
Proven experience leading managers and supervisors , not just individual contributors
Strong understanding of receiving, inventory control, picking, shipping, and warehouse operations
A hands-on, floor-first leadership style
Strong experience with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), labor management tools, and operational data
Ability to use KPIs and operational trends to identify problems and drive improvements
Experience with labor planning, productivity management, and resource allocation
Strong root-cause problem-solving and continuous improvement skills
Ability to coach leaders, set clear expectations, and drive accountability
Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both senior leadership and front-line teams
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, customer-focused operation
How You'll Make an Impact
Success in this role goes beyond getting today's orders out the door. You'll help build an operation that performs consistently day after day.
Your impact will be measured through:
Customer SLA performance and order accuracy
Daily throughput and labor efficiency
On-Time, In-Full (OTIF) fulfillment
Inventory and process accuracy
Development and performance of the leadership team
Reduction of operational bottlenecks and recurring issues
Safety performance and audit-ready warehouse conditions
Why Join Port Jersey Logistics Network?

We offer:
Competitive compensation
Health, dental, and vision coverage
Paid time off
Sunny Day Fund – an employee savings program designed to help you build savings for future needs
