About the Opportunity

Our client, an established food manufacturer with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest, is hiring a Warehouse & Logistics Operations Manager to lead a complex warehousing and logistics operation that supports manufacturing. You’ll lead a team of 20+, own a $1.1M to $1.2M operating budget, and safeguard $8M to $14M+ of inventory across ambient, refrigerated, and frozen storage at company-operated and third-party sites.

This is a leadership role built on Lean thinking and data. You’ll develop your supervisor and front-line leads, run the operation through KPIs, and hold internal teams and outside partners to the same standard. Strong, applied Lean manufacturing experience is required.

What You’ll Do

• Lead day-to-day warehouse and logistics operations across company-operated and off-site facilities, supplying manufacturing with raw materials, packaging, concentrates, purees, and finished goods.
• Lead a team of 20+, including a Warehouse Supervisor (direct report), an Operations Lead, a Raw Fruit Admin, a Warehouse Clerk, scale house staff, and 15 forklift operators.
• Build a high-performing team through coaching, accountability, and development of supervisors and front-line leaders, while keeping engagement high.
• Optimize capacity utilization and inventory flow across ambient, chilled, and frozen storage, and enforce FIFO and shelf-life discipline.
• Apply Lean principles to eliminate waste and improve flow, and lead process and capacity improvements through to completion.
• Build and manage operational KPIs, including cases per labor hour, cases shipped without error, storage utilization, inventory accuracy, FIFO compliance, and safety performance.
• Own the annual operating budget and drive cost performance.
• Manage third-party logistics, cold storage, and raw fruit storage partners, and hold them accountable to service, inventory, safety, and operational KPIs.
• Champion safety, GMP, and food safety compliance at every location.

What You Bring

• Strong, applied understanding of Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement (required).
• Leadership experience in warehouse, distribution, or manufacturing operations, including managing supervisors and larger hourly workforces.
• Budget accountability and a track record of creating and managing KPIs.
• Inventory management and storage optimization experience.
• Vendor and 3PL management experience.
• Strong data analysis and reporting skills.
• Safety leadership experience.
• Background in food or beverage manufacturing, CPG, distribution centers, cold storage, agriculture processing, or large warehouse operations supporting manufacturing is a strong plus.

Who Thrives Here

You lead through data and take pride in growing people who outgrow their roles. You own results without being asked twice, and you hold partners to the same standard as your own team. You read people and situations well, so you know when to coach, when to push, and when to get on the floor and help.
