Job Description

General Manager – Distribution Center

Location: Aurora, CO

Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire

Compensation: $120,000–$135,000 annually

Job Store Staffing is partnering with a mission-driven, consumer products organization to identify a strategic and hands-on General Manager to lead operations at a high-volume Distribution Center in the Denver metro area.

Running a distribution center is much like orchestrating a living ecosystem—where people, product, process, and performance must move in sync. This role is ideal for an operational leader who balances big-picture strategy with on-the-floor execution, values data as much as people leadership, and thrives in a culture rooted in continuous improvement and collaboration.

This is an opportunity to step into a leadership role within an established organization that values purpose, accountability, and operational excellence while continuing to evolve its supply chain and distribution capabilities.

• Lead or support automation efforts, layout redesigns, and system enhancements
• Prepare and analyze operational performance reports to guide decision-making

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with internal stakeholders to achieve delivery, cost, and quality goals
• Participate in network optimization projects, including routing and layout efficiency
• Negotiate and maintain effective relationships with outbound transportation partners

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in warehouse, logistics, or supply chain operations
• 5+ years of people leadership experience in a supervisory or managerial role
• Hands-on knowledge of Fulfillment, Shipping, Receiving, and Warehousing operations
• A true operational GM mindset—entrepreneurial, curious, and improvement-driven
• Strong analytical skills with experience managing KPIs and operational metrics
• Proven ability to build and lead high-performing, collaborative teams
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and developing clear strategies and contingency plans
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Proficiency with WMS, ERP, TMS, and related systems

Preferred (not required):

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• Bilingual (English/Spanish)
• Experience implementing automation or large-scale process redesign
• Exposure to multi-site operations or network planning

What’s Offered

• Competitive base salary with strong benefits package
