We are seeking a highly analytical, strategic, and solutions-oriented Distribution Center Manager to spearhead operational performance at our Easton, PA facility.

Managing high-throughput order fulfillment for premium client accounts within the dynamic active lifestyle sector, this executive role requires a leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, comfortably navigates fluid supply chain challenges, and excels at driving organizational objectives.

You will be responsible for end-to-end site execution, labor optimization, financial throughput reporting, continuous improvement execution, and building high-performing leadership teams.

Core Responsibilities

Operational Excellence: Take full accountability for facilities performance metrics, ensuring day-to-day execution aligns perfectly with established Client Service Level Agreements (SLAs), shifting resource allocations fluidly between processing zones to maximize systemic efficiency.
Leadership & Talent Engineering: Directly lead, coach, and develop a high-energy group of facility Supervisors and Client Services personnel. Create custom learning tracks, manage performance targets, drive accountability, and instill an inclusive culture focused on initiative and core values.
Labor & Financial Allocation: Serve as the ultimate decision-maker for facility scheduling, shift adjustments, and overtime approvals. Authorize resource balancing plans and generate real-time operational reports comparing revenue captured against ongoing overhead, building capacities, and operating budgets.
Client Relationship Management: Interface directly as a key business partner with marquee active lifestyle clients. Manage expectations, translate volume forecasts into executable daily throughput plans, and co-develop innovative distribution strategies to mitigate processing errors or delays.
Efficiency & Space Optimization: Consistently analyze facility square-footage layouts and vertical rack capacities. Design and present actionable optimization infrastructure proposals to reduce cycle times, eliminate workflow redundancies, and expand localized margins.
Lean & Continuous Improvement: Champion and fund localized Lean methodologies and change-management initiatives. Provide necessary guidance, systemic tools, and hardware support to eliminate facility waste while maintaining a zero-compromise safety landscape aligned with joint health and safety standards.

Qualifications & Requirements

Industry Experience: 5+ years of progressive leadership experience directly supervising warehouse, light industrial, or complex Third-Party Logistics (3PL) fulfillment hubs.
Management Footprint: 5+ years operating in an autonomous site management or operations manager role, directing multiple subordinate tier-supervisors and cross-functional teams.
Technical Capabilities: Advanced operational mastery of industry-standard Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) alongside highly professional data orchestration capabilities inside MS Office Suite.
Educational Background: A Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Operations Business, or a closely related discipline is highly preferred/plus.
Physical Requirements: Must possess the full physical capabilities required to navigate an active industrial floor: standing/walking for extended intervals, climbing industrial stairs and high-reach ladders, handling heights comfortably, lifting up to 50 lbs, and operating safely within varying environments (dust, temperature shifts, industrial noise).

Why apply?

High-Caliber Market Alignment: This facility services major marquee brands in the rapidly growing active lifestyle and sports sectors. You get to interact directly with market-disrupting brands, elevating your professional visibility across the country.
Imminent Strategic Expansion: With a massive regional expansion slated for Q1 (including the integration of localized secondary facilities), this management position sits at the center of the organization's growth pipeline, presenting immediate upward trajectory and multi-site career scaling options.
