If you thrive running a fast-paced warehouse floor, love building a team, and want ownership over your own shift, this is your role.
We’re looking for a 2nd Shift Warehouse Manager to take ownership of our evening warehouse operations — receiving, inventory management, order fulfillment, shipping, and staff supervision. You'll be the driving force behind operational efficiency, inventory accuracy, safety compliance, and on-time order delivery, all while leading a high-performance team through the back half of the day.
What You’ll Own
Warehouse Operations
Run daily 2nd shift activities: receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping.
Keep orders accurate and on time, every night, including meeting daily shipping cutoffs.
Optimize warehouse layout, storage, and workflow for maximum efficiency.
Manage workflow and staffing levels in real time to match order volume, seasonal peaks, and same-day priorities.
Partner with purchasing, sales, and logistics — and hand off cleanly to 1st shift leadership — to keep operations seamless around the clock.
Maintain accurate shift logs and communicate key updates, issues, and wins to leadership.
Inventory Management
Drive inventory accuracy through cycle counts and audits.
Monitor stock levels and coordinate replenishment activities with purchasing.
Track down and resolve discrepancies before they become problems.
Ensure proper product handling and storage standards are followed shift after shift.
Oversee proper labeling, slotting, and organization to support fast, accurate picking.
Team Leadership
Supervise, schedule, and train your 2nd shift crew.
Set clear performance expectations and hold your team accountable.
Build a shift culture that’s positive, productive, and safety-first.
Play an active role in hiring, onboarding, and performance reviews.
Coach underperformance early and recognize strong performers to keep the team engaged.
Manage attendance, timekeeping, and shift coverage.
Safety & Compliance
Enforce warehouse safety standards and OSHA guidelines on every shift.
Lead regular safety inspections and training.
Ensure safe, proper use of equipment — forklifts, pallet jacks, and more.
Investigate and document any incidents, near-misses, or equipment issues, and follow up on corrective action.
Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free warehouse floor.
Process Improvement
Spot opportunities to boost efficiency and cut operational costs.
Roll out best practices in inventory control, fulfillment, and logistics.
Own your KPIs: order accuracy, productivity, on-time shipping, and labor efficiency.
Recommend and help implement process or technology improvements specific to 2nd shift workflows.
What You Bring
5+ years of warehouse or distribution operations experience.
2+ years in a supervisory or management role.
Hands‑on experience with WMS and inventory software.
Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
The ability to juggle multiple priorities without missing a beat, in a fast-paced environment.
Forklift certification preferred.
Comfortable being the go-to decision-maker on the floor when the rest of the building has gone home.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel especially) for tracking and reporting.
High school diploma or equivalent required; associate's or bachelor's degree in logistics, supply chain, or business a plus.
Experience in distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, or a similarly high-volume warehouse environment strongly preferred.
Physical Requirements
Ability to stand, walk, bend, and move throughout the warehouse for the majority of the shift.
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly.
Comfortable working in a warehouse environment.
Ability to safely operate or oversee the operation of warehouse equipment.
