Director of Warehouse Services - Riverview, FL

Job Summary

Are you a seasoned professional in the 4PL space with a deep understanding of warehouse operations and a proven track record in providing solutions to businesses? BlueGrace Logistics is seeking a Director of Warehouse Services—not a warehouse manager, but a visionary leader who knows what it takes to manage warehouse services at a strategic level. This role is ideal for someone with experience in "warehouse as a service," who understands how to price and structure commercial agreements, onboard new business, and effectively consult our customers on their warehousing solutions. 

The Director of Warehouse Services will serve as the warehousing and fulfillment expert for BlueGrace Logistics and transcend the company’s many sales channels and shared service departments. The ideal candidate will serve as a subject matter expert in 3PL warehouse operations, commercial structure, consulting, and driving strategic initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. This role requires a deep understanding of the warehouse and fulfillment landscape, including technology, market trends, and operational requirements.
