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 pivotal leadership role reports directly to the VP of Supply Chain and is ideal for a dynamic leader with deep experience in warehouse operations, distribution, and team leadership.
Responsibilities
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.

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.
