Job Description

Schedule - 3rd Shift: Sunday-Thursday, 9:00PM-5:30AM

About the role

The Dubuque Distribution Center supports a high-volume, fast-moving supply chain operation with fluctuating seasonal demand, multiple product categories, and tight service-level expectations. The Operations Manager owns results for a shift of about 20 hourly employees and is accountable for the full operating picture of their department — safety, quality, productivity, and cost — not just day-to-day supervision. This is a leadership role for someone ready to own outcomes, not just oversee a shift.

A day in the life

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of about 20 warehouse associates, driving performance through clear expectations and consistent feedback
• Own shift-level financial results — monitor budget, track variances, and take corrective action when metrics slip
• Drive continuous improvement through problem-solving, process ownership, and cross-shift coordination
• Recruit, onboard, and train new team members to keep the team staffed and ready
• Partner across shifts and departments to keep the building running as one operation

You own this if you have…

• 5+ years of warehouse experience in a managerial role
• Proven capability in identifying and implementing CI actions that deliver measurable improvements to cost, service and quality
• Demonstrated capabilities in developing others and growing leadership competencies in their direct reports
• Strong knowledge of warehousing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Hands-on experience with warehouse management software and databases
• Ability to analyze data and determine actions based on improvement opportunities
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
