Job Description

Our client is seeking a hands-on, results-driven General Manager / Site Leader to oversee operations at a brand-new, state-of-the-art 120,000 sq. ft. facility in Somerset, NJ, with responsibility for three additional satellite locations. This is a pivotal leadership role reporting directly to the VP of Supply Chain, and it's ideal for a dynamic leader with deep experience in warehouse operations, distribution, and team leadership.

This facility supports approximately $23 million in annual revenue and specializes in warehouse and distribution operations with light assembly components. You’ll be driving operational excellence, building high-performing teams, and ensuring that orders flow efficiently through the supply chain — all while laying the foundation for scalable growth.

Projects You’ll Work On

• Oversee daily warehouse and distribution operations, including inbound/outbound logistics, inventory control, light assembly, and shipping.
• Lead and inspire a diverse team across multiple sites to achieve high standards in safety, efficiency, and performance.
• Implement process improvements to increase throughput, reduce costs, and optimize inventory handling.
• Collaborate closely with senior leadership to align operational goals with overall business strategy.
• Ensure compliance with quality, regulatory, and safety standards across all facilities.
• Manage facility KPIs, reporting, and performance dashboards to track progress and identify areas of improvement.
• Lead initiatives tied to the launch and optimization of the new 120,000 sq. ft. distribution center.

What Experience You Should Bring

• 7+ years of progressive leadership experience in warehouse, supply chain, logistics, or distribution environments.
• Proven track record of managing large teams, driving operational KPIs, and improving process efficiency.
• Experience working in mid-sized or large warehouse facilities (100k+ sq. ft. preferred).
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage both local and satellite site teams.
• Exposure to light manufacturing or assembly operations is a plus.
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• P&L management experience is a bonus, but not a must — we’re open to candidates ready to take on that next step.

Why This Role?

• Brand-new, cutting-edge facility designed for growth and efficiency.
• Opportunity to build and shape a high-performing team from the ground up.
• Autonomy to make an impact while working closely with executive leadership.
• Stability and growth with a thriving company in the scientific and distribution space.

Minimal travel is required for this position. The ideal candidate thrives in dynamic environments and loves optimizing operations with a people-first mindset.
