Job description

The 3PL Manager is responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of high-end furniture logistics-from receiving manufacturer shipments to managing the final "White Glove" home delivery. You act as the bridge between national accounts (retailers) and the local delivery teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Inventory Control: Oversee the scanning and tracking of high-value freight. Unlike standard 3PLs, Metropolitan deals with "non-conveyable" items (oversized furniture), requiring strict damage-inspection protocols upon receipt.
  • Vendor/Client Management: Act as the primary point of contact for 3PL clients, providing real-time updates on inventory levels, transit times, and delivery completion.
  • Operational Leadership: Direct daily activities including labor scheduling, dock management, and the supervision of "Scan Discipline" (ensuring every item is tracked at every touchpoint).
  • White-Glove Oversight: Ensure delivery teams are trained in Metropolitan's specific assembly and installation standards for luxury furniture.
  • KPI Tracking: Monitor metrics including Damage Ratios, On-Time Delivery %, and Warehouse Throughput.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience: 3–5 years in warehouse management, specifically within 3PL or Furniture Logistics.
  • Tech Savvy: Proficiency in WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) and routing software. (They often emphasize "Scan Discipline").
  • The "Furniture Factor": Knowledge of furniture repair or "deluxing" (pre-delivery inspection) is often a preferred "plus" for this specific company.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of OSHA standards and DOT regulations for local delivery fleets.

The "Metropolitan" Difference
If you are preparing a resume or prepping for an interview for this specific company, focus on these three pillars:

  • Damage Mitigation: Because they ship expensive, heavy items, showing you can reduce "claims" is your biggest selling point.
  • Last-Mile Logistics: They aren't just moving pallets; they are moving items into people's living rooms.
  • Customer Service: Since they represent high-end brands, the manager must ensure the delivery "experience" matches the brand's price tag.
