Regional Senior Director Distribution Operations

Senior Director of Distribution Center Operations – East Region

Location: Advance, NC
Travel: Minimum 50%

We're not looking for someone to sit in meetings and delegate. We need a proven operator who has led multiple high-volume distribution centers, rolled up their sleeves, and driven tactical execution tied directly to metrics.

This role demands someone who understands the grind of operations—labor management, throughput, cost per unit, fill rate, safety, shipping accuracy—and knows how to move the needle at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the operational performance of several large-scale distribution and fulfillment centers (300K to 1.5M sq. ft.), each processing $12–$21 million in product weekly.
• Build, lead, and mentor site leadership teams—develop talent and drive accountability.
• Establish and enforce operational discipline tied to productivity, safety, accuracy, and cost KPIs.
• Travel extensively across the East to work side-by-side with your teams, not from behind a desk.
• Design and execute plans for efficiency gains, process improvements, and network scalability.
• Lead through data—apply Lean and Continuous Improvement to root out waste and improve throughput.
• Ensure WMS and warehouse technologies are fully leveraged to optimize performance.

Requirements:

• 12 years leading multiple distribution centers (this is non-negotiable).
• Experience running complex ops across various geographies with P&L responsibility.
• Deep tactical knowledge in labor planning, inventory control, order fulfillment, and transportation alignment.
• Track record of implementing and sustaining operational excellence at scale.
• Fluent in WMS platforms, continuous improvement, and warehouse KPIs.
• Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Logistics, or related field—or equivalent experience.

Salary : $200,000 - $220,000
