Warehouse Operations Manager

UE Systems•Elmsford, NY

3d•$80,000 - $100,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a Warehouse Operations Manager to build and lead the warehouse, shipping, receiving, and inventory-control structure for our Elmsford operation. This is not a pure shipping role. The person we hire will develop the standards, layout, procedures, controls, and daily operating rhythm that make inventory accurate, shipments reliable, and warehouse work repeatable. This role will lead the warehouse employees who perform the physical picking, packing, shipping, receiving, and material movement work. The Manager owns the system: priorities, process discipline, inventory accuracy, shipment execution, issue resolution, training, safety, and continuous improvement. The role partners closely with Supply Chain to execute inventory allocation, transfers, and shipment priorities across UE’s broader global operations, while remaining directly accountable for the Elmsford warehouse.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in warehouse operations, shipping, receiving, inventory control, distribution, manufacturing, or technical product fulfillment.
3+ years of experience leading or supervising warehouse, shipping, receiving, inventory, or material-handling employees.
Comfortable working on-site and being hands-on in a small but dynamic warehouse environment, while leading the team and owning the systems, processes, and daily operations.
Strong experience with inventory accuracy, cycle counting, bin/location control, ERP/WMS transactions, receiving discipline, order fulfillment, and shipment execution.
Hands-on experience with ERP/WMS or inventory systems and shipping platforms such as ShipStation, UPS, FedEx, DHL, or similar systems.
Experience with domestic and international shipping, carrier systems, customs/commercial documentation, and shipment exception management.
Proven experience developing warehouse and shipping structure from an immature, manual, or scaling environment, including procedures, layout, controls, training, and operating cadence.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to train employees, document processes, escalate issues, and work cross-functionally.
High school diploma or equivalent required

Experience with Acumatica, ShipStation, or ERP-integrated shipping and inventory workflows.

Develop the Elmsford warehouse and shipping structure, including layout, bin/location control, receiving flow, pick/pack/ship standards, staging, documentation, and daily operating routines.
