The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who brings a strong sense of urgency, ownership, and accountability to the department. This individual should be data-driven, detail-oriented, and comfortable improving processes and reorganizing workflow as business needs and client volumes change.

• Utilize Order Management Systems (OMS) and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) to manage return activity and inventory.
• Track labor associated with specific clients for accurate invoicing and billing.
• Partner with Customer Service to resolve invoicing and billing inquiries.
• Work closely with leadership as client-specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are developed and implemented.
• Ensure customer instructions and established procedures are followed accurately.
• Identify and report nonconformance, operational concerns, and other issues as they arise.
• Evaluate the returns area and reorganize workflow, staffing, and processes when necessary to improve efficiency.
• Maintain accurate documentation, reports, and departmental data.
• Promote a safe working environment and serve as a safety champion, leading by example.
• Collaborate with other supervisors and departments to support overall warehouse operations.
• Work independently with minimal supervision while maintaining strong communication with leadership.
• Provide additional support and work extended hours when necessary to ensure client deadlines and return volumes are successfully managed.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of warehouse experience required, preferably in a leadership or supervisory capacity.
• Bilingual required.
• Previous experience with returns, RMAs, or reverse logistics strongly preferred.
• Experience using OMS and WMS platforms.
• Experience with RF scanners, inventory movement, and product put-away.
• Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office applications.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proven ability to lead, motivate, and hold a team accountable.
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to analyze data, monitor productivity, and meet daily production goals and deadlines.
• Strong problem-solving and process-improvement skills.
• Ability to adapt quickly to changing client priorities and operational demands.
• Must demonstrate a strong sense of urgency, ownership, and pride in the department.
• Must be a collaborative team player who understands how the Returns Department impacts Customer Service, Inventory, Operations, and other warehouse functions.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for more than someone who can simply manage a returns department. We need a leader who can take ownership of it.

The successful candidate will recognize priorities, develop solutions, improve workflow, communicate issues early, and ensure the department stays organized and productive as client volume continues to grow.

If you're a hands-on warehouse leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in building an efficient, accountable team, we want to hear from you.
