• Work with Customer Service, Planning, Manufacturing, Transportation, Procurement, and Quality teams to improve delivery performance and resolve operational bottlenecks.
• Oversee inventory integrity through cycle counts, reconciliations, transaction reviews, discrepancy analysis, and disciplined use of warehouse systems and scanning processes.
• Act as the warehouse lead for ERP and warehouse management execution, promoting system compliance, standardized processes, and capability development among key users.
• Build labour plans that align staffing levels with production output and customer demand, while managing schedules, overtime, contract labour, and overall workforce productivity.
• Coach and develop supervisors and inventory team members through performance management, training, succession planning, and clear accountability expectations.
• Drive operational improvements in layout, space usage, dock flow, material handling, productivity, and automation opportunities using structured continuous improvement methods.
• Track and review warehouse performance through scorecards and KPIs covering safety, service, inventory accuracy, productivity, labour efficiency, and shipping performance.
• Minimum of 5 years of progressive leadership experience in warehouse operations, with a strong background in manufacturing environments.
• Demonstrated success managing supervisors and leading teams in high-volume, multi-shift operations.
• Post-secondary education in supply chain, operations, business, or a related field is preferred.
• Strong knowledge of ERP and warehouse systems, including SAP, SAP EWM, SAP S/4HANA, Epicor, and broader inventory control processes.
• Experience with transportation coordination, materials handling, labour planning, and warehouse performance reporting.
