- Oversee high-volume outbound shipping, prioritizing order waves to meet carrier pickup cutoffs.
- Manage automated shipping software (FedEx Ship Manager) and ensure smooth sync with the internal WMS.

Team Leadership & Safety
- Supervise, train, and schedule a dedicated team of shipping clerks, packers, and material handlers.

- Conduct daily shift stand-up meetings to communicate performance goals, throughput targets, and safety protocols.
Inventory & Quality Control
- Maintain adequate stock of shipping supplies, including FedEx-provided packaging, custom boxes, thermal labels, and packing materials.
- Audit random packages daily for quality assurance, ensuring precise weight matching and documentation accuracy.
- Investigate missing parcels, shipment delays, or delivery discrepancies, initiating claims with FedEx when necessary.
Qualifications & Experience
- Education: High School Diploma or equivalent required; Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain or Business is a plus.
- Experience: Minimum 3–5 years of warehouse shipping experience, with at least 1–2 years in a leadership or supervisory capacity.
- System Expertise: Deep operational knowledge of FedEx Ship Manager Hardware/Software (Server or Software editions) is strictly required. Familiarity with high-volume pick-and-pack operations is required.
- Skills: Proficient in Microsoft Excel (for tracking metrics and shipping data analytics) and enterprise WMS software. Strong attention to detail regarding small-parcel constraints, carrier fees, and domestic/international compliance.
- Physical Demands: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand/walk for extended periods on a warehouse floor, and operate manual or electric pallet jacks if required.
