We are seeking a dynamic, results-driven Operations Supervisor to oversee our high-volume distribution operations. In this role,

you will lead a dedicated team to ensure flawless execution of inventory processing, sorting, and last-mile dispatch. The ideal

candidate balances operational excellence with a customer-first mindset, ensuring our team consistently hits strict delivery

deadlines without compromising on safety or quality.

Key Responsibilities

  • Operational Leadership: Oversee daily warehouse floor operations, focusing specifically on high-velocity parcel receipt, scanning, manual sorting, and logistics distribution.
  • Performance Metrics: Monitor and optimize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to meet strict delivery timelines, service level agreements (SLAs), and daily dispatch quotas.
  • Stellar Customer Service: Maintain an uncompromising focus on customer satisfaction by ensuring package integrity, reducing processing errors, and resolving delivery discrepancies rapidly.
  • Team Management & Development: Supervise, mentor, and motivate a team of warehouse associates. Coordinate shift schedules, conduct daily huddles, and foster a culture of accountability and high morale.
  • Inventory & Technology Management: Leverage warehouse management systems (WMS), handheld scanners, and logistics tracking software to ensure 100% data accuracy and end-to-end parcel visibility.
  • Safety & Compliance: Enforce strict adherence to safety protocols, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and local labor laws to maintain a clean, organized, and accident-free environment.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Experience: 3+ years of experience in warehouse operations, logistics, or supply chain management, with at least 1–2 years in a supervisory or lead hand role.
  • Industry Knowledge: Proven experience handling high-volume e-commerce fulfillment or parcel distribution (direct experience with sortation, delivery stations, or third-party logistics is highly preferred).
  • Deadline-Driven: Outstanding time management skills with a proven track record of succeeding under the pressure of tight, time-sensitive delivery schedules.
  • Technical Proficiency: Strong familiarity with warehouse control systems, barcode scanning technologies, and basic office software.
  • Physical Stamina: Ability to stand/walk for extended periods on the warehouse floor and lift up to 50 lbs if necessary.
