We are looking for a Senior Distribution Manager to lead with both strategy and action, driving performance while staying deeply connected to the day-to-day operation. 


This role is ideal for a hands-on operator and collaborative leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to balance accountability, engagement, and execution.

 What You Bring

  • 5+ years of leadership experience in distribution, warehousing, or logistics operations  
  • Experience across warehouse operations, inventory, shipping, and receiving 
  • Strong understanding of transportation, routing, and compliance (DOT/CDL preferred)  
  • Proven ability to lead teams, drive performance, and develop leaders 
  • Bachelor's degree preferred
