Operations Manager- Las Vegas

Boxzooka is a technology driven, retail and eCommerce fulfillment solutions provider headquartered in Secaucus, NJ with locations throughout the country. We provide fulfilment services to some of the country's fastest growing internet and retail brands.

Boxzooka currently has an opening for an Operations Manager at its newest distribution center in Las Vegas, NV.

This key player would be one of the first positions hired at our new site and must be ready to get the building going from the ground up. This "Jack (or Jill!) of all trades" position would initially be responsible for tasks such as managing temp employees, receiving packages, setting up racking, building totes, organizing building layout, organizing and conducting training, and working with various partners, coworkers, and clients to ensure the success of the Las Vegas facility. This candidate definitely needs to be someone who doesn't mind getting their hands dirty and working on the floor.

As the facility gets up and running, (planned summer 2022), there is the potential for this person to quickly grow into a more senior role within the company dependent on progress, development and experience. In any case, this person would be responsible for mentoring leaders, holding team members accountable to their jobs, and guiding operational excellence in all aspects of the business. The ideal candidate must be a self-starter, organized, detail orientated, have excellent oral and written communication skills, and consistent follow through. This role is an integral part of our operations team.
