Warehouse and Transportation Manager
Keller Executive Search is partnering with a global manufacturer of specialist engineered products that serve customers across healthcare, custodial and other regulated environments worldwide. The business is in an active growth phase and is investing in its US operation to match the standards of a mature international group. To lead that operation on the ground, our client is seeking a hands-on Warehouse and Transportation Manager for its site in Madison Heights, Michigan.
This is a rare opportunity to own an entire US warehouse and transportation function end-to-end, from receiving and put-away through picking, packing, dispatch and national delivery. Reporting to the Head of Operations and forming part of the Site Leadership Team, you will be the single accountable leader for how high-value national shipments move: safely, accurately, on time and at controlled cost. You will shape the team, embed the systems and standards, and bring the site up to global standard. Across the industry, inventory accuracy and coordinated transportation are the biggest levers for on-time-in-full performance, and here you will own both.
It is a role for a working manager who is as comfortable on the dock as in front of a KPI dashboard. With total responsibility for the function and a direct line into global leadership, the right person will find genuine autonomy, visible impact and a clear path toward a wider operations remit as the US business scales.
