This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for managing and optimizing Torani's external warehouse and distribution network.

You will partner closely with Customer Service, Deployment, external 3PL partners, Finance, IT, Operations, Planning, and Transportation to support Torani's long-term growth.

SUCCESS FACTORS (First 12-24 months)
  • Talent & Team Development: You've built a highly engaged and high-performing team with clear goals, accountability, and strong collaboration.

You collaborate closely with Planning, Transportation, Customer Service, IT, and Warehouse Operations to ensure Torani's external network can scale to support growth from a capacity, process, system, and operational readiness perspective.
