Do you have a passion for operations, organization, and process excellence? Are you energized by overseeing inventory, warehouse functions, and back-of-house systems that keep the store running smoothly? This might be your dream job!

At Alabama Outdoors, we’re serious about providing an incredible guest experience — and that starts with a well-run back-of-house operation.

We are looking for an organized, detail-oriented, and efficient Operations Manager to oversee all back-of-house responsibilities, including inventory accuracy, warehouse organization, and e-commerce fulfillment. While this is primarily an operations role, there will be light guest-facing responsibilities when needed to support the sales floor.

Position Summary The Operations Manager oversees all aspects of back-of-house operations at the store level. This includes:

Managing the receiving, processing, and staging of all new inventory.

Ensuring accurate and timely transfers, returns, RTVs, and replenishment.

Overseeing e-commerce and store-to-guest fulfillment.

Maintaining accurate reporting and communication of inventory needs.

Organizing and maintaining all warehouse and backstock areas.

This role is focused on operational excellence and provides only occasional, light support on the sales floor.

Oversee daily replenishment of inventory from back stock to the sales floor.

Ensure returned products are processed, tagged, steamed, or folded and placed back on the floor or sent to the correct location.

1. Warehouse & Back-of-House Operations

Organize and maintain all warehouse and backstock storage areas.

Manage supply needs and communicate them for ordering.

Maintain clean, safe, and efficient storage and work areas.

1. E-Commerce & Fulfillment

Manage e-commerce orders, charge sends, and store ship-to-customer orders for accuracy and timeliness.

Ensure packaging and fulfillment processes meet brand and guest service standards.

Monitor and report on e-commerce fulfillment accuracy and timelines.

Train team members on e-commerce processing and fulfillment best practices.
