About the role
WAREHOUSE MANAGERTampa, FLFast-growing, family-owned 3PL fulfillment company is hiring a hands-on Warehouse Manager to run the day-to-day operation for our Tampa-area facility. We're not a giant corporation and we don't want to be — we're a scrappy, high-volume operation that's grown from a startup into a business shipping hundreds of thousands of packages a month, and we're adding new clients every week. If you like the challenge (and the energy) of a fast-moving warehouse where every day looks a little different, keep reading. WHAT YOU'LL OWN • Run the daily flow of a busy, high-volume 3PL warehouse — receiving, picking, packing, and shipping — and make sure the day gets done, every day. • Be physically present and hands-on across departments, not parked in an office. • Lead, coach, and hold accountable a team of supervisors and team leads, and develop the next generation of leaders from within. • Set the tone for the day, delegate clearly, then get out of the way — give direction, walk away, come back and check the work. Build a team you can trust to execute without you standing over their shoulder. • Own the KPIs that keep the operation profitable — productivity by station, on-time completion, accuracy — and know at a glance when something's off track and why. • Look 30, 60, 90 days ahead: staffing needs, seasonal volume swings, and where the operation is going to feel the squeeze before it happens — then raise your hand and ask for what you need. • Handle the light administrative side of the role — a nightly performance recap, keeping on top of client service tickets that touch the warehouse, coordinating kitting and special projects — without letting it pull you off the floor. • Adapt on the fly. You'll walk in each day already knowing the plan, execute it, and make the smart in-the-moment call when something changes — because in this business, something always does.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:
- A safe, organized, high-performing warehouse where employees know what's expected of them and want to grow within the company.
- A bench of confident, capable supervisors and team leads who you've personally developed.
- Consistent productivity and accuracy, even as volume and client count keep climbing.
- A team that trusts you, follows your lead, and gets the job done because they've watched you do it right alongside them.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
- A natural leader first, a warehouse expert second. We can teach you our systems, our clients, and our processes — what we can't teach is how to get a room full of people to follow you.
- Someone who leads by example — first one on the floor, not afraid to sweat, comfortable being visible and approachable to every person in the building.
- A track record of managing and developing supervisors, team leads, or frontline teams in a warehouse, distribution, fulfillment, or similarly fast-paced operational environment.
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) required — a meaningful share of our team communicates primarily in Spanish, and you'll need to lead, coach, and mentor in both.
- Comfortable operating inside an established playbook. We have SOPs that work, and we need someone who can execute them. WHY YOU'LL WANT THIS ROLE
- Real autonomy. You'll be trusted to run the building, not just supervise it — with a COO who wants your input on staffing and operational recommendations, not someone looking over your shoulder.
- A genuine “family business” culture, even while doing serious volume. People matter here, and everyone pitches in when it's needed.
- A front-row seat to a company that's scaling fast, with real room to grow as the operation — and your responsibilities — expand alongside it.
- A team, not just direct reports — supervisors and team leads who are hungry to be developed, and a leadership group that will back you up. SCHEDULE & BENEFITS
- Full-time, on-site in Tampa, FL
- 401(k) with company match.
- 18 days of PTO per year, plus 6 paid holidays.
If you're the kind of leader who gets out in front, earns trust on the floor, and takes pride in building a team that runs without you having to push it — we want to talk to you.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
