This position requires someone who understands the administrative side of shipping and supply chain operations, is comfortable working with computer systems, and has experience overseeing daily operational activities. The successful candidate will take ownership of routine logistics matters, resolve issues independently within their responsibilities, and ensure that accurate information reaches the right people at the right time.

- Escalate issues requiring management decisions with a clear explanation of the problem, operational impact,
and proposed solution.
Office and Warehouse Coordination
- Learn the responsibilities and workflows of key office personnel, including how orders, purchasing, inventory information, customer requirements, and shipping instructions are managed.
- Act as a central point of coordination between the office and warehouse, ensuring both teams understand current priorities, deadlines, responsibilities, and operational constraints.
- Confirm that the warehouse receives complete and accurate information needed to execute orders and shipments.
- Provide the office with timely, reliable updates on warehouse progress, shipment readiness, outstanding tasks, and operational concerns.
- Identify communication gaps, clarify conflicting instructions, and help resolve differing expectations using accurate records and agreed priorities.

- The ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and recognize when an issue requires management involvement.
- A practical, collaborative approach to working with office and warehouse teams.
Preferred Experience
