Warehouse Operations Manager

Warehouse Operations Manager

Botany, Sydney | Full-Time

Simply Seated is a premium event hire, styling and production company, and we're looking for an experienced Warehouse Operations Manager to lead the people, workflow and performance of our busy Sydney warehouse.

This is a people-management role, not a hands-on warehouse labour role. We already have experienced warehouse staff and Team Leads — we need a strong manager who can create structure, set priorities, delegate effectively and hold teams accountable.

The Role

You'll take ownership of the day-to-day warehouse operation, including:

• Leading and managing warehouse Team Leads and staff
• Daily workflow planning and labour allocation
• Picking, staging and dispatch readiness
• Returns and loading dock operations
• Cleaning, upholstery care and quality control
• Repairs, maintenance and stock preparation
• Staff productivity and performance
• Warehouse organisation, safety and standards
• Identifying issues before they impact upcoming events

You'll maintain visibility across the entire warehouse — knowing what's going out, what's been picked, what's outstanding, what's returned, what requires cleaning or repair, and whether each team is on track.

About You

We're looking for a confident and organised people leader who can manage multiple teams and priorities in a fast-moving environment.

You'll be comfortable setting expectations, delegating work, monitoring productivity and addressing poor performance when required.

Experience in warehousing, 3PL, distribution, logistics, equipment hire, furniture or similar operations is highly regarded. Experience managing Team Leaders or Supervisors is particularly important.

You don't need event industry experience — strong warehouse leadership and people-management skills are our priority.

If you're someone who knows the difference between doing the work yourself and leading a team to get the work done, we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: $90,000.00 – $110,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
