Responsibilities

• Implement, configure, and manage the new ERP system (Extensiv) to support order management, inventory tracking, and warehouse management.
• Evaluate current warehouse operations from a systems and scalability standpoint, identifying opportunities to improve processes rather than simply maintaining existing workflows.

• Optimize facility storage space to maximize efficiency and support growth in warehousing and logistics services.
• Coordinate with freight carriers to schedule pickups and deliveries, ensuring timely and accurate movement of goods.
• Prepare and review bills of lading (BOL) and other shipping documentation, verifying the accuracy of inbound and outbound shipments.
• Oversee cycle counts and inventory audits, track stock levels, and reconcile discrepancies in the ERP and warehouse management systems.
• Own the ERP platform (Extensiv) as the primary system administrator, including data integrity, process configuration, and user support.
• Develop, maintain, and present operational reports and KPIs directly to leadership to support decision-making and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with office and warehouse teams to ensure alignment between system data, physical inventory, and customer requirements.
• Use Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel to manage communication, documentation, and reporting related to warehouse operations.
• Support shipping and receiving activities as needed, including verifying shipments, organizing paperwork, and coordinating with carriers.
• Maintain a safe and organized warehouse and office environment, following established procedures and best practices.
• Demonstrate a high level of autonomy and self-direction in managing projects, priorities, and daily operational decisions.

Essential Skills

• 2 to 5 years of experience in warehouse management or warehouse operations leadership.
• Strong experience with warehouse management systems (WMS), SAP, and ERP platforms, including configuration and daily use.
• Hands-on experience with inventory management, including cycle counting, stock level tracking, and discrepancy resolution.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Suite, including Outlook, Word, and Excel, for communication, documentation, and data analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to manage shipping and receiving processes, including bills of lading (BOL) and coordination with freight carriers.
• Experience in logistics management and warehouse management within a storage or logistics environment.
• Ability to assign tasks, coordinate a small warehouse team, and oversee day-to-day operations.
• High attention to detail and strong computer literacy, with the ability to work accurately within complex systems.
• Self-starter mindset with a high level of autonomy and the ability to evaluate and improve operational processes.
• Comfort working in and around forklifts and warehouse equipment, with practical understanding of safe warehouse practices.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Prior experience using Extensiv or similar ERP/WMS platforms such as ShipHero, Cin7, Ordoro, NetSuite (Oracle), or Logiwa.
• Experience owning or implementing a WMS or ERP software, including leading rollouts and training users.
• Forklift certification is a plus.
• Prior experience working in storage, warehousing, or logistics operations.
• Ability to create and interpret operational reports and KPIs for leadership.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.
