Position Summary:

The Distribution Manager oversees all daily operations within the warehouse and manages end-to-end distribution to ensure accurate, efficient, and timely receipt, storage, and delivery of materials. This role leads warehouse staff, optimizes processes, improves inventory accuracy, and ensures compliance with safety and company standards. The Distribution Manager drives operational excellence by overseeing workflows, identifying improvement opportunities, and supporting company growth initiatives. This position reports to the Director of Supply Chain.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong leadership competencies, exceptional interpersonal skills, the ability to manage multiple priorities, and a results-oriented mindset. A strong understanding of supply chain best practices, purchasing and inventory processes, warehouse operations, and project management is required.

This role requires approximately 25% travel to states where we currently have locations, including Arizona, California, Colorado, and Texas. We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work? Not to mention FREE car washes! Along with tuition reimbursement, health/dental/vision, 401K and vacation time.
