Job Description
At PJLN, we don’t just move boxes; we build the infrastructure that keeps global commerce moving. We believe that a high-performance culture starts with a local leader who treats the facility like their own business. We are looking for a hands-on Warehouse General Manager who thrives in the chaos of a start-up environment and has the grit to turn an empty warehouse into a high-speed fulfillment engine. This isn’t a "sit-behind-the-desk" role. You will be the architect of our site culture, the strategist for our facility launches, and the operational partner our Sales team relies on to win new business.
