Role

Summary:

Tire Hub is seeking an accomplished and innovative supply chain leader to oversee warehouse operations across its three Regional Distribution Centers (RDCs). This is not a traditional corporate office role; it requires a visionary and entrepreneurial operator who works directly alongside facility leaders on the warehouse floor. The primary objective of this role is to remove barriers for Operational Leaders and their teams, establish a standardized operational blueprint, and drive measurable bottom-line results.

Success in this position requires a highly analytical leader who pairs data-driven decision-making with active frontline feedback. The ideal candidate is a collaborative consensus builder who drives execution by listening to the teams performing the work. This role is expected to function as a profit center, fully self-funding through labor optimization, process improvement, and waste reduction, and then deliver measurable contributions to the network's cost and operational objectives beyond its own cost.

A significant focus will be placed on redesigning the labor strategy to reduce dependence on temporary staffing agencies through a hybrid staffing model, while also serving as the critical link between warehouse operations and the field sales organization.

This role reports to the Director of Warehouse and Logistics.

* Choose your day one benefits which include a no cost health insurance option

* Tire Hub funded Health Savings Account

* Additional benefit options including Tire Hub paid short/long term disability and life insurance benefits

* Paid vacation and holidays

* Parental leave programs

* Build your financial future with 401k including Tire Hub match

The individual must exhibit the following core attributes of the Tire Hub commitment:

* Approachable - If a company could smile, we would. Instead, we rely on our people to show it. We care about each other and our customers because we know business only gets done right when people respect each other and value relationships.

* Adventurous - What Tire Hub is set up to do is intentionally outrageous. So, we readily embrace challenges with the courage to introduce new ideas and the ambition to build something unique.

* Relentless - We tackle our work with energy. We deliver on our commitments with enthusiasm. And we don't give up until we get to the end.

* Speedy - Speed is the currency in the tire industry. When we commit to a job, we get the job done - and we do it fast.
