OPERATIONS COORDINATOR - NIGHTS
About The Position
Om Produce is seeking a mid-level Outbound Operations Coordinator to own the accuracy and timeliness of everything that leaves our warehouse. This role manages order staging, load building, carrier coordination, and shipping documentation, ensuring every outbound order is picked, packed, and dispatched correctly and on schedule. The Operations Coordinator works closely with drivers, dispatch, sales, and customer service to keep outbound freight moving without delay, and serves as the connective tissue between the warehouse floor and the rest of the business. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. They are equally comfortable coordinating with a driver on the dock and flagging a shipping discrepancy to the sales team. This role is best suited for someone who takes ownership of outcomes, communicates clearly across departments, and thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
