Warehouse Manager | Linden, NJ · $80,000–$100,000
About the Role A furniture company is looking for a hands-on Warehouse Manager to take ownership of its entire warehouse operation. The team — receivers, quality control, packers, preparers, shippers, and maintenance — is already in place; what's needed is a strong leader to hold them to a standard and keep the whole operation running smoothly, from receiving through load-out. This is a high-accountability role for someone who leads from the floor and never lets a damaged or incorrect item walk out the door.
