Warehouse Manager

Warehouse Manager

Krosswood Doors is at a strategic inflection point. We are a $30M omni-channel building materials manufacturer (, ) scaling rapidly toward $50M+. To handle this volume, we must transform our Tucson facility from a "scrappy startup" environment to a world-class, scalable industrial operation. As our Warehouse Manager, you will be the linchpin of this transformation. Our logistics hub currently handles over $11M in freight annually, moving containers of raw materials and shipping complex, heavy finished goods via LTL.

We need a leader who can execute the basics flawlessly—receiving, put-away, and shipping—while simultaneously implementing Lean Warehousing principles to professionalize the facility for our next stage of growth.

The Mission:
Fix the Foundation & Build for Scale

Inventory Velocity & Integrity:
You will eliminate the backlog. Your mandate is to ensure all inbound freight is received, audited, and physically put away in its correct location within 24 hours. You will implement a daily Cycle Count routine to ensure 99.5%+ inventory accuracy.

Damage Reduction (The "Zero Defect" Mindset):
Doors are fragile. You will develop standard work for pallet building and LTL loading, treating damage claims as a process failure that must be root-caused and fixed.

6S Implementation:
Transform the physical environment. You will lead the Warehouse through a 6S reset (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, Safety).

Visual Management:
You will implement visual controls (floor markings, signage, status boards) so that the flow of goods is obvious to anyone walking the floor.

Key Responsibilities

• Floor Supervision:
  Spend 80% of your time on the floor. Monitor forklift speeds, turning behaviors, and stacking techniques to ensure safety and product integrity.
• Start-of-Shift Stand-ups:
  Set the tone every morning. Lead a daily huddle to review safety, yesterday's errors, and today's volume targets.
• Housekeeping:
  Enforce a "Clean as you Go" policy. You understand that a messy dock leads to lost product and safety hazards.
• Process Builder:
  You are comfortable writing a "How-To" guide for receiving a container or loading a truck and training the team until they get it right.
• Metrics Management:
  Track and report weekly on the "Vital Few" KPIs:
  Inventory Accuracy, Put-Away Timeliness (Dock-to-Stock time), Shipping Accuracy, Damage/Shrinkage %.

Who You Are

• The "Player-Coach":
  You lead from the front. You are willing to hop on a forklift to show a new hire exactly how to place a pallet without damaging the goods.
• The 6S Champion:
  You hate clutter. You understand that a disorganized warehouse is an unsafe and unprofitable one.
• The Disciplinarian:
  You hold people accountable. If a process isn't followed, you step in to correct it immediately, but you do it with respect and a teaching mindset.
• The Logistics Pro:
  You are experienced with heavy/bulky freight (not just small parcels). You understand the physics of loading trucks safely.

Qualifications

• Experience:
  
  5+ years of Warehouse Management experience, preferably in building materials, furniture, or industrial distribution.
• Methodology:
  Practical experience applying 6S or Lean concepts to organize a chaotic environment.
• Technical:
  Proficient in WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) and Excel.
• Language:
  Bilingual (English/Spanish) is highly preferred to effectively train and lead our Tucson workforce.

Why Krosswood?

• Impact:
  You won't be a cog in a wheel. You will be the architect of our logistics capability.
• Growth:
  This is a clear pathway to operational leadership in a private-equity-backed growth environment.
• Culture:
  We are builders. We value direct communication, accountability, and getting the job done right.
• Compensation: $80,000-$110,000 annually + Performance Bonus
• Benefits:
  Health, dental, vision and other supplemental insurances, Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays, 401k Plan
