Position DescriptionStord is looking for an Operations Manager with strong communication skills and experience as a leader of leaders. This person must be able to lead others through effective decision making and demonstrate a sense of responsibility in leading a team that supports the execution of all processes and procedures related to inventory accuracy, including performing warehouse bin accuracy and maintaining inventory shrink. They possess a strong ability to utilize Order Management System and various types of material handling equipment.
What You'll Do:
Labor Planning and Workforce Modeling
Build staffing plans against volume forecasts, headcount ratios, and productivity standards. Anticipate labor needs rather than react to them, and adjust plans in real time as demand shifts.
Data-Driven KPI Management
Read and act on core operational metrics including location accuracy, dock-to-stock, outbound SLA, and productivity. Use data to identify what's working, what isn't, and what to fix next.
P&L and Budget Ownership
Own the operational P&L and payroll with full accountability. Speak fluently to the levers that drive site profitability — labor cost as a percentage of revenue, cost per unit/order, overtime spend, throughput efficiency, shrink, and equipment utilization. Walk through a P&L line by line and explain what moved it.
Continuous Improvement and Root Cause Problem Solving
Diagnose performance drift and resolve it without disrupting live operations. Apply structured problem-solving methods, ideally grounded in Lean or Six Sigma, to drive lasting improvement.
WMS Configuration and Data Storytelling
Go beyond day-to-day WMS use to configure and troubleshoot the system directly. Pull complex datasets and turn them into a clear story — dashboard, deck, or conversation — that moves leadership to act and gets buy-in to see it through.
Oversee all fulfillment center operations including inbound, put away, outbound, B2C/B2B, and returns
Lead and develop Area Managers, operations leads, and associates
Oversee inventory accuracy, ICQA compliance, audit readiness, and GMP adherence
Support new client launches and ensure operational readiness
Partner with cross-functional teams including IE, solutions engineering, customer quality, and implementations
Work closely with HR, Safety, and Customer Service to drive results
