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
