Receiving and Distribution Lead

Galileo Learning’s mission is to develop innovators who envision and create a better world.

We provide out-of-school enrichment programs that build innovation skills, growth mindset, and creative confidence across a variety of offerings. We run neighborhood summer day camps for families, deliver expanded learning programs for school districts, and empower educational institutions and service providers with curriculum and instructional support.

We bring our mission to life through the Galileo Innovation Approach (GIA): combining mindset, process, and knowledge to drive meaningful outcomes for students and for each other. This shows up in how we collaborate, make decisions, and continuously improve our work.

We are:

Visionary: We think beyond what exists today and work toward what’s possible.

Courageous: We take ownership, make decisions with imperfect information, and lean into challenges.

Collaborative: We work across teams and perspectives, assuming positive intent and building strong partnerships.

Determined: We follow through, hold a high bar for quality, and stay focused on delivering results that matter for our students and partners

Reflective: We learn from experience, use data and feedback to improve, and continuously evolve how we work.

We operate with a high level of ownership and care for our work, our partners, and each other.

The Receiving & Distribution Lead owns the dock-to-distribution cycle: receiving inbound raw goods and vendor partial kits, running the accuracy-critical distribution and palletizing workflow that gets finished kits out to school sites, and directly supervising seasonal temp labor during peak distribution. This role is a key accuracy checkpoint in a highly bespoke, multi-product kit operation spanning across hundreds of school sites and partners.

Galileo Learning has been offering educational summer experiences for 25 years: STEAM-based hands‑on camp and expanded learning programs that build creative confidence, growth mindset, and innovation skills for kids from kindergarten through eighth grade. Behind every camp day is a warehouse operation that receives raw materials, finishes and palletizes kits, and gets them to the right site on time and complete.

This role partners closely within the Supply Chain team to keep goods moving accurately from dock to truck, and is the primary point of direction for seasonal temp labor during peak distribution.

Success in this role requires a high degree of accuracy, physical ability, and the ability to clearly direct others during our highest‑volume periods.

Why this Role Matters

Every kit that reaches a school site starts here. Because our kits are complex, multi‑component, and highly bespoke, a single receiving or palletizing error can mean a classroom missing the materials it needs on day one. This role is the accuracy checkpoint that stands between a shipment leaving our dock and a Camp Director opening a box that’s exactly right.

Just as importantly, this role keeps our peak season moving. By directing seasonal temp labor clearly and consistently, the Lead helps the warehouse hit its highest‑volume weeks without sacrificing the precision our program model depends on.
