• Create a positive, high-performing culture with a strong focus on safety, teamwork and continuous improvement
• Identify and implement process improvements that improve efficiency, accuracy and customer service
• Oversee inventory management, warehouse operations and product dispatch to ensure high service levels
• Build strong relationships with manufacturing, customer service, procurement, transport providers and other key stakeholders
• Lead change initiatives and support the ongoing evolution of warehouse operations

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Proven experience leading warehouse operations within manufacturing, FMCG or another fast-paced distribution environment
• Strong people leadership skills with demonstrated success developing, coaching and retaining high-performing teams
• Experience using ERP systems to manage warehouse operations, with strong overall IT and systems capability
• Sound understanding of inventory management, warehouse KPIs and operational planning
• A collaborative leadership style with the confidence to challenge existing processes and drive positive change

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Base salary of $100K-$120K plus 7.5% STIP
• Opportunity to influence the future direction of a well-established warehouse operation
• Join a respected New Zealand manufacturer with a strong reputation for quality
• Supportive leadership team that values innovation, continuous improvement and developing its people
• A role where your ideas, leadership and improvements will make a genuine difference
• Long-term career opportunity with a stable and growing business
