The Quality & Continuous Improvement Manager is a builder role. In the near term, the primary focus is establishing the operational infrastructure that the warehouse currently lacks: documented processes, a performance measurement system, and a discipline of continuous improvement. Alongside that foundational work, this role will stand up the warehouse’s first outbound QC function — starting lean and building toward a repeatable inspection standard — and will own customer escalation management, serving as the operational point of contact when order quality issues reach the customer. This is a cross-cutting role that serves both domains, reports directly to the VP, and earns influence through expertise and consistency rather than direct authority.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Continuous Process Improvement

• Identify and lead structured improvement initiatives across outbound and inbound operations
• Run root cause analysis on recurring errors and quality failures; drive corrective actions to completion and verify they stick
• Build a cadence of improvement — regular reviews, prioritized problem lists, and visible progress tracking
• Partner with domain managers to surface floor-level issues and translate them into solvable process problems

SOP Ownership

• Build the warehouse SOP library from the ground up — document how work is actually done, then standardize and improve it
• Keep procedures current as processes evolve; ensure SOPs are accessible and followed, not just written
• Own the onboarding and training documentation that supports consistent execution across team leads and ICs

Data Analytics & KPI Ownership

• Own the KPI infrastructure — design and maintain dashboards, scorecards, and shift reports that give leadership and managers reliable operational visibility
• Partner with domain managers to define meaningful targets and build team lead accountability into the weekly performance rhythm
• Produce consistent, accurate performance data; flag trends, anomalies, and leading indicators before they become crises
• Own the weekly performance review cadence — prepare, facilitate, and follow up

Outbound QC (Build-Out)

• Stand up the warehouse’s first outbound QC function — define inspection criteria, build the process, and hire/develop 1–2 QC staff
• Focus initial QC coverage on outbound order accuracy: verify orders are correct, complete, and meet shipment standards before leaving the building
• Track defect rates and order accuracy; use data to prioritize where QC attention has the most impact
• Build toward a repeatable, scalable QC standard that can expand as the team grows

Customer Escalation Management

• Serve as the operational point of contact for customer escalations related to order quality, shipment accuracy, or fulfillment errors
• Investigate escalations, identify root cause, and coordinate resolution across outbound and inbound as needed
• Close the loop with the customer-facing team with clear findings and corrective actions
• Track escalation patterns to identify systemic issues and feed them back into the improvement roadmap

Key Metrics

• Outbound order accuracy rate
• Customer escalation volume and resolution time
• SOP coverage % (documented and current)
• KPI scorecard cadence and accuracy
• CI project completion rate
• Error recurrence rate (post-corrective action)

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 3+ years in warehouse operations, supply chain, or logistics, with a track record in process improvement, quality, or analytics
• Experience building operational infrastructure from scratch — SOPs, KPI systems, or QC functions — not just inheriting and maintaining them
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable designing dashboards, interpreting operational data, and presenting findings to leadership
• Experience handling customer escalations in an operations or fulfillment context; able to investigate, communicate clearly, and close the loop
• Hands-on experience writing SOPs in a fast-moving warehouse or fulfillment environment
• Continuous improvement methodology experience (Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent) strongly preferred
• Ability to operate with minimal direction — this role sets its own agenda based on where the biggest gaps are

Competencies

• Builder mindset — energized by creating structure where little exists; doesn’t need things to be figured out to get started
• Analytical rigor — builds systems and data infrastructure that hold up under scrutiny
• Influence without authority — earns credibility with domain managers through expertise, consistency, and follow-through
• Customer orientation — treats escalations as signal, not noise; takes quality failures personally
• Operational credibility — has been on the floor; understands how warehouse work actually gets done and why processes break
