About The Position

As Operations Manager at our Dallas UAC, you'll run the day-to-day of a high-volume reverse logistics operation — receiving, sorting, dispositioning, and moving returned product back into the supply chain. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll direct a team of 20–50 supervisors and frontline associates, own disposition accuracy and throughput, and serve as the primary point of contact for the customers we recover value for. If you're a proven operations leader who thrives in fast-paced warehouse environments and wants full ownership of a site with real visibility and growth opportunity, this role puts you in the driver's seat from day one.
