Location: Elmsford, NY - On-site

Salary: $80,000 USD - $100,000 USD annually

About the Role
We are seeking a Warehouse & Logistics Manager to build and lead the warehouse, shipping, receiving, and inventory-control structure for our Elmsford operation. This is not a pure shipping role. The person we hire will develop the standards, layout, procedures, controls, and daily operating rhythm that make inventory accurate, shipments reliable, and warehouse work repeatable.

This role will lead the warehouse employees who perform the physical picking, packing, shipping, receiving, and material movement work. The Manager owns the system: priorities, process discipline, inventory accuracy, shipment execution, issue resolution, training, safety, and continuous improvement. The role partners closely with Supply Chain to execute inventory allocation, transfers, and shipment priorities across UE's broader global operations, while remaining directly accountable for the Elmsford warehouse.

Our People
They Own Their Day:
We do not micro-manage. Our team understands the outcome, makes disciplined decisions, and communicates early when priorities, risks, or constraints change.

They Believe in a Team Approach: No one is expected to be a master of everything. We rely on each other, bring different strengths to the table, and build better systems together.

They Always Look Through a Customer Lens: Every process we build should make it easier to serve the customer accurately, reliably, and on time.

Your Impact
  • Develop the Elmsford warehouse and shipping structure, including layout, bin/location control, receiving flow, pick/pack/ship standards, staging, documentation, and daily operating routines.
  • Lead the warehouse team responsible for picking, packing, shipping, receiving, put-away, cycle counts, inventory movements, and warehouse organization.
  • Own Elmsford inventory accuracy by ensuring receipts, picks, transfers, shipments, adjustments, and cycle counts are completed correctly in the ERP and related systems.
  • Create and maintain practical SOPs, work instructions, checklists, and training so warehouse work is repeatable, scalable, and not dependent on tribal knowledge.
  • Manage daily order priorities, carrier coordination, shipment deadlines, customer-specific requirements, and shipping exceptions, including international documents and commercial-invoice accuracy.
  • Partner with Supply Chain, Quality, Repair, Finance, and Business Systems to resolve inventory discrepancies, receiving issues, shipment holds, system errors, and process gaps.
  • Establish performance visibility for the warehouse, including inventory accuracy, cycle-count completion, on-time shipment execution, shipping errors, receiving backlog, and open exceptions.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, organized, and audit-ready warehouse environment, including proper material handling, equipment use, packing supplies, records, and security controls.

Your Experience
  • 7+ years of experience in warehouse operations, shipping, receiving, logistics, inventory control, distribution, manufacturing, or technical product fulfillment.
  • 3+ years of experience leading or supervising warehouse, shipping, receiving, inventory, or material-handling employees.
  • Proven experience developing warehouse and shipping structure from an immature, manual, or scaling environment, including procedures, layout, controls, training, and operating cadence.
  • Strong experience with inventory accuracy, cycle counting, bin/location control, ERP/WMS transactions, receiving discipline, order fulfillment, and shipment execution.
  • Experience with domestic and international shipping, carrier systems, customs/commercial documentation, and shipment exception management.
  • Hands-on experience with ERP/WMS or inventory systems and shipping platforms such as ShipStation, UPS, FedEx, DHL, or similar systems.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to train employees, document processes, escalate issues, and work cross-functionally.
  • Comfortable working on-site in a hands-on warehouse environment while leading the team and owning the management system, not just performing transactions.
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; post-secondary education in Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations, Business, Industrial Technology, or a related field preferred.
  • Relevant certification is preferred, such as ASCM/APICS CLTD, CPIM, or CSCP; Lean Six Sigma; forklift / powered industrial truck training; OSHA safety training; or dangerous-goods / lithium-battery shipping training where applicable.

Nice to Have
  • Experience with Acumatica, ShipStation, or ERP-integrated shipping and inventory workflows.
  • Experience in electronics, instrumentation, industrial equipment, repair/service operations, or serialized technical products.
  • Experience creating warehouse KPIs, dashboards, training materials, SOPs, or audit-ready documentation.
  • Experience coordinating inventory transfers between facilities or supporting international shipments and returns.
