Warehouse Manager

WAREHOUSE MANAGER

Tampa, FL

Fast-growing, family-owned 3PL fulfillment company is hiring a hands-on Warehouse Manager to run the day-to-day operation for our Tampa-area facility. We're not a giant corporation and we don't want to be — we're a scrappy, high-volume operation that's grown from a startup into a business shipping hundreds of thousands of packages a month, and we're adding new clients every week. If you like the challenge (and the energy) of a fast-moving warehouse where every day looks a little different, keep reading.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Run the daily flow of a busy, high-volume 3PL warehouse — receiving, picking, packing, and shipping — and make sure the day gets done, every day.

• Be physically present and hands-on across departments, not parked in an office.

• Lead, coach, and hold accountable a team of supervisors and team leads, and develop the next generation of leaders from within.

• Set the tone for the day, delegate clearly, then get out of the way — give direction, walk away, come back and check the work. Build a team you can trust to execute without you standing over their shoulder.

• Own the KPIs that keep the operation profitable — productivity by station, on-time completion, accuracy — and know at a glance when something's off track and why.

• Look 30, 60, 90 days ahead: staffing needs, seasonal volume swings, and where the operation is going to feel the squeeze before it happens — then raise your hand and ask for what you need.

• Handle the light administrative side of the role — a nightly performance recap, keeping on top of client service tickets that touch the warehouse, coordinating kitting and special projects — without letting it pull you off the floor.

• Adapt on the fly. You'll walk in each day already knowing the plan, execute it, and make the smart in-the-moment call when something changes — because in this business, something always does.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• A safe, organized, high-performing warehouse where employees know what's expected of them and want to grow within the company.

• A bench of confident, capable supervisors and team leads who you've personally developed.

• Consistent productivity and accuracy, even as volume and client count keep climbing.

• A team that trusts you, follows your lead, and gets the job done because they've watched you do it right alongside them.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• A natural leader first, a warehouse expert second. We can teach you our systems, our clients, and our processes — what we can't teach is how to get a room full of people to follow you.

• Someone who leads by example — first one on the floor, not afraid to sweat, comfortable being visible and approachable to every person in the building.

• A track record of managing and developing supervisors, team leads, or frontline teams in a warehouse, distribution, fulfillment, or similarly fast-paced operational environment.

• Bilingual (English/Spanish) required — a meaningful share of our team communicates primarily in Spanish, and you'll need to lead, coach, and mentor in both.

• Comfortable operating inside an established playbook. We have SOPs that work, and we need someone who can execute them.

WHY YOU'LL WANT THIS ROLE

• Real autonomy. You'll be trusted to run the building, not just supervise it — with a COO who wants your input on staffing and operational recommendations, not someone looking over your shoulder.

• A genuine “family business” culture, even while doing serious volume. People matter here, and everyone pitches in when it's needed.

• A front-row seat to a company that's scaling fast, with real room to grow as the operation — and your responsibilities — expand alongside it.

• A team, not just direct reports — supervisors and team leads who are hungry to be developed, and a leadership group that will back you up.

SCHEDULE & BENEFITS

• Full-time, on-site in Tampa, FL

• 401(k) with company match.

• 18 days of PTO per year, plus 6 paid holidays.

If you're the kind of leader who gets out in front, earns trust on the floor, and takes pride in building a team that runs without you having to push it — we want to talk to you.
