About the role

You will own daily throughput at our Denver facility: stocking, cycle counting, picking/packing, and outbound shipping. You will lead a team of up to 20 across shifts, working through frontline leads, and you will be on the floor enough to know where the constraint is on any given day.

This is single-SKU fulfillment, not reverse logistics. Inventory is known and cataloged, and it sits in place until it's picked. Units move through standard putaway, cycle counts confirm what's on the shelf, and outbound orders are picked, packed, and shipped against clear SKU counts.

What You Will Own
Throughput and flow. End-to-end responsibility for intake, sort, grading, disposition routing, WIP movement, QC, and outbound. Every unit is traceable, brand-owned, and has to leave accurately and on time.

The team. Hire, onboard, coach, and develop leads and associates. Set clear expectations, hold the line on them, and build a bench so the operation does not depend on any one person showing up.

Process design. Build and iterate the SOPs that govern how goods move, and make sure they hold across shifts. Lead root-cause work on errors and delays, and implement fixes that stay fixed.

Labor planning. Build staffing models that match inbound forecasts, including surge periods driven by post-holiday trade-in and brand return cycles.

Brand program performance. Each brand partner has its own protocols, quality bar, and reporting cadence. You are accountable for hitting them and for flagging early when volume or condition mix puts them at risk. You will occasionally host brand partners and prospects on facility tours.

Cost. Track cost per unit for your area, understand what drives it, and find savings that do not degrade quality or turn time.

Inventory integrity. Chain of custody on brand-owned goods, in partnership with planning. Cycle counts, reconciliation, and no unexplained variances.

Safety and compliance. A floor where people work safely and know they are expected to.
