Position Summary
*** Hours: 12 pm- 8 pm ***
Leads functional distribution center operations within the North American Distribution Center by owning daily execution, leadership development, process discipline, and performance improvement across assigned operational areas. This role is accountable for safety, quality, service, inventory accuracy, productivity, labor performance, compliance, and team effectiveness.
At Teleflex, we are committed to Doing Distribution Differently - building an operation where disciplined execution, high standards, continuous improvement, and a strong team culture work together. This is not a status quo operations role. The Operations Manager is expected to strengthen the system, raise the standard, develop the leaders who run the floor, and create an environment where people are engaged, standards are clear, problems are addressed early, and the work is done with urgency, ownership, and pride. The right leader for this role will not be satisfied with simply maintaining today's routines or reporting yesterday's results. This leader must help move the operation forward by improving processes, building capability, reinforcing standards, and creating a workplace where high performance, meaningful work, and team engagement can coexist.
The Operations Manager executes and sustains the Daily Operating System, ensures consistent execution across shifts, and drives improvement through floor presence, data-driven decision-making, clear accountability, and cross-functional partnership. This leader must balance care for people with candid accountability, maintain calm command during operational disruption, and build a team that becomes stronger because of their leadership.
