General Manager; Warehouse​/Logistics

Our client is a growing custom seating manufacturer and distributor with two facilities in Victoria, VA — a 100,000 sq. ft. cold storage plant and a 280,000 sq. ft. two-story production and warehousing facility. We're looking for a hands-on Director of Operations to take ownership of daily warehouse and shipping operations, bring structure to a fast-paced site, and serve as the key communication link between the USA team and corporate office in Alberta, Canada.

This is a warehousing and distribution leadership role, not a heavy manufacturing role — about 90% of our operation is inbound/outbound shipping
, with a smaller production and upholstery assembly component.

• Daily operations across receiving, inventory, shipping, and a small production/assembly line
• Building and leading a strong shipping crew (site of 20-25 employees)
• Warehouse organization and clear, efficient product flow in and out of the facility
• Proactive, high-level reporting and communication back to Head Office on staffing, production, and key risks
• Health & safety compliance, HR basics (hiring, scheduling, performance management)
• Vendor, carrier, and equipment coordination

• A well-organized, efficient warehouse
• A trained, accountable shipping crew
• Consistent, proactive communication — no surprises for Head Office
• On-time fulfillment and strong inventory accuracy

• 5+ years of operations leadership in warehousing, distribution, or light manufacturing
• A track record of managing hourly crews and multiple moving parts under deadline pressure
• Strong communicator — comfortable working independently and reporting back to a remote leadership team
• Proficiency with Microsoft Suite,  (CRM), Teams, and Great Plains or similar ERP/MRP/WMS systems
• Decisive leadership style with strong personal values and alignment to company vision
• Flexibility for occasional weekend/OT coverage, especially in the first 3–6 months

• $100,000–$150,000 base (reviewed at 90 days), bonus eligible (Christmas bonus standard; annual bonus tied to company performance)
• Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM; some early flexibility required as you ramp up
• Reports to the VP of Operations and company President
