Warehouse & Staging Operations Manager (Inventory + Movers)

Lawrence Property Solutions Llc

Plain City, OH โ€ข On-site

$26/hr

Full-time

PTO

Posted 27 days ago


Job description

Weโ€™re looking for someone who can take full ownership of our warehouse, inventory, and mover operations. This is not a sit-back-and-manage roleโ€”youโ€™ll be hands-on daily, leading the team, protecting our inventory, and making sure every stage leaves the warehouse clean, complete, and on time.

What Youโ€™ll Own

You are the gatekeeper of everything we own and move. If itโ€™s in the warehouse or on a truck, it runs through you.

Key Responsibilities

Inventory Management (Your #1 Priority):

  • Own and maintain the inventory management system (accuracy is non-negotiable)
  • Track all furniture
  • Conduct routine inventory audits and reconcile discrepancies
  • Monitor condition of all items and pull anything damaged or worn
  • Tag, organize, and store items so the team can move quickly and efficiently

Furniture Repair & Maintenance:

  • Perform basic repairs (tightening, fixing, touch-ups, cleaning, etc.)
  • Keep inventory stage-ready at all times (no junk leaving the warehouse)

Warehouse Operations:

  • Keep the warehouse clean, organized, and efficient
  • Utilize daily pull lists for staging jobs
  • Ensure all items are prepped, packed, and ready for daily installs
  • Create systems that make the team faster and more consistent

Mover Team Leadership:

  • Oversee daily mover operations and staging logistics
  • Lead by exampleโ€”you will be moving, loading, unloading, and staging alongside the team
  • Ensure trucks are properly loaded, secured, and routed efficiently
  • Train movers on proper handling, setup standards, and expectations
  • Hold the team accountable to timelines, care of inventory, and professionalism

Purchasing & Restocking:

  • Monitor inventory levels and identify gaps
  • Order warehouse supplies as needed
  • Be cost-conscious while maintaining quality and brand standards

What Weโ€™re Looking For

  • Strong leadershipโ€”you can run a team and earn respect quickly
  • Highly organizedโ€”you donโ€™t lose things, and neither will we
  • Hands-on mindsetโ€”youโ€™re not afraid to get dirty and lift heavy items
  • Problem solverโ€”you fix issues without waiting to be told
  • Detail-orientedโ€”you notice when something is off and correct it
  • Comfortable with systems/tech (inventory tracking, basic software, etc.)
  • Experience in warehouse management, moving/logistics, or staging is a big plus

Physical Requirements

  • Able to lift 75โ€“100 lbs (team lift)
  • Comfortable being on your feet most of the day
  • Able to load/unload trucks and move furniture regularly
  • Able to drive 17' box truck daily

Schedule

  • Full-time
  • Mondayโ€“Friday, typically 9โ€“5 (with occasional longer days based on installs)

Why This Role Matters

This role directly impacts how polished our stages look, how efficient our installs run, and how much money we make. When this position is run well, everything flows. When itโ€™s not, everything feels it.

Weโ€™re looking for someone who wants to take pride in building a tight, clean, dialed-in operationโ€”and run it like itโ€™s their own.

Company Description

We are a home staging company specializing in vacant staging, transforming empty properties into beautifully furnished and inviting spaces.
