Job description

About Food For The Poor
Food For The Poor, one of the largest international relief and development organizations in the nation, does much more than feed millions of the hungry poor primarily in 17 countries of the Caribbean and Latin America. This interdenominational Christian ministry provides emergency relief assistance, clean water, medicines, educational materials, homes, support for orphans and the elders, skills training and micro-enterprise development assistance. "Join us in our mission to serve the poorest of the poor."
OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY
The Warehouse & Distribution Manager provides operational leadership for all warehouse and distribution activities at Food for the Poor Jamaica. The role ensures the safe, efficient, and accountable handling of donated goods and purchased supplies are in alignment with Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) operational controls, donor expectations, internal policies, and disaster response requirements.
This role exists to reduce operational risk, strengthen inventory accountability, and ensure disciplined execution across all warehouse environments.
The incumbent will ensure strong internal controls, accurate inventory management, and efficient distribution to support program delivery, including outreach and mission activities, while maintaining full compliance with audit and donor requirements.

Strategic Importance of the Role
This position is critical because:
  • Warehouse operations represent FFTP Jamaica's largest and highest-risk operational function

  • Maintain structured filing systems for audit readiness

4. People Management & Supervision
  • Supervise warehouse supervisors and frontline warehouse staff
  • Set clear performance expectations, productivity targets, and work standards
  • Promote a culture of respect, professionalism, and accountability

  • Identify training needs and support coaching and corrective action as required

5. Compliance, Safety & Internal Coordination
  • Support AEO compliance by enforcing required operational controls within warehouse environments
  • Work closely with the Safety & Security Coordinator on:
  • Access control implementation
  • Incident reporting
  • Safety compliance within warehouses
  • Collaborate with Finance on inventory verification, audits, and reconciliations

  • High integrity and commitment to accountability
  • Strong leadership and team management skills
