Tire Development Engineer Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

National Distribution Leader

About TireHub:

Role Summary:

TireHub is seeking an accomplished and innovative supply chain leader to oversee warehouse operations across its three Regional Distribution Centers (RDCs). This is not a traditional corporate office role; it requires a visionary and entrepreneurial operator who works directly alongside facility leaders on the warehouse floor. The primary objective of this role is to remove barriers for Operational Leaders and their teams, establish a standardized operational blueprint, and drive measurable bottom-line results.

Success in this position requires a highly analytical leader who pairs data-driven decision-making with active frontline feedback. The ideal candidate is a collaborative consensus builder who drives execution by listening to the teams performing the work. This role is expected to function as a profit center, fully self-funding through labor optimization, process improvement, and waste reduction, and then deliver measurable contributions to the network’s cost and operational objectives beyond its own cost. A significant focus will be placed on redesigning the labor strategy to reduce dependence on temporary staffing agencies through a hybrid staffing model, while also serving as the critical link between warehouse operations and the field sales organization.

This role reports to the Director of Warehouse and Logistics.
