Warehouse Manager

Our client, a highly successful and rapidly expanding retail technology and e-commerce corporation, is seeking an experienced, floor-first Warehouse Manager to oversee daily operations at their South San Francisco fulfillment center. Positioned strategically between senior executive leadership and front-line supervisors, the Warehouse Manager will assume full operational accountability for a fast-scaling facility.

The ideal candidate is a high-accountability leader who possesses a rare blend of analytical acumen and hands-on grit. This individual will be tasked with standardizing workflows, scaling facility throughput, and developing an internal leadership bench, all while maintaining strict quality controls.

• Technical Proficiency: Advanced competency utilizing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), enterprise operations tooling, and productivity suites (Microsoft Office or Google Workspace).
• Analytical Skills: Demonstrated ability to interpret raw operational data to build basic cost models, develop labor planning, and drive data-backed forecasting decisions.
• Floor Leadership: Must possess a consistent floor presence, with the physical stamina and preference to spend the vast majority of the workday actively managing on the warehouse floor rather than at a desk.
• Adaptability: Proven resilience in fast-paced, high-growth, or startup environments where resource constraints require creative problem-solving and rapid prioritization.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; must be adept at delivering transparent, actionable feedback across diverse team demographics.
