Outbound Area Manager (Onsite, Fort Worth)

Lead The Floor That Keeps Amazon FBA Shipments Moving - Compliance, On Time, Every Day

Role: Outbound Area Manager Location: Fort Worth, TX

At Coastal Trading Ventures, we're the outbound engine behind one of the fastest-growing eCommerce fulfillment operations in the country. We are the fifth largest seller by volume on Amazon, and our Fort Worth facility is scaling fast. Every day, your team sends multiple trucks of LTL and FTL freight into Amazon's FBA network, and every box and pallet has to clear Amazon's labeling and shipping requirements the first time.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a fast-paced environment! You will own the KPIs that keep freight moving and set the pace for a growing outbound team.

Your Team

You'll lead the outbound floor team responsible for boxing, palletizing, labeling, and shipping high-volume Amazon FBA orders working closely with fellow Managers and other departments to keep staffing and shift operations running smoothly.

What You'll Be Doing

• Oversee daily fulfillment of high-volume Amazon FBA orders, ensuring every box is prepared and labeled to Amazon's specifications
• Oversee accurate uploading of shipment details into Amazon's system, maintaining compliance with all shipping guidelines
• Arrange freight pickups and confirm shipping details with Amazon promptly for on-time delivery
• Oversee boxing and palletization, ensuring every box carries the correct Amazon shipping label
• Monitor and improve KPIs such as boxes labeled per person per hour and label accuracy

Your First 90 Days

• Days 130: Get to know your team and the current outbound flow. Shadow shipments end-to-end from freight arrangement through Amazon labeling to see where throughput or accuracy slips today.
