Warehouse Operations Manager
At Rohlik, we grow fast - and that growth only works when operations, processes and people move together. Now we’re launching a brand-new, highly automated fulfillment center, and that creates a rare opportunity: to join a site from the very beginning and help shape how it works from day one. We’re looking for an Operations Manager who will lead a core shift, manage a team of Area Managers to drive high performance, and help turn a new building into a high-performing operation. This is the kind of role where you don’t inherit years of legacy. You help build the setup, influence the standards, and leave a visible footprint from the start.
Why this role is exciting
You’ll join at the launch of a new fulfillment center, which means real influence from day one.
You won’t just maintain existing ways of working - you’ll help build, shape and establish operational processes from scratch.
A new site means new teams, new automation tech, new habits and a real chance to set the culture the right way from the beginning.
You’ll work at the intersection of leadership, automation, shift-level performance and continuous improvement.
You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams like OpEx, Automation, HR, IT, and Transport to solve live challenges.
This is a role for someone who thrives on startup energy, likes dynamic situations, visible impact and building something that will scale.
What you’ll do
As Operations Manager, you will lead a core shift, managing a team of Area Managers to drive high performance across safety, quality, and productivity.
You will:
Own the shift: Drive shift-level operational performance, safety compliance, and labor management
Lead & develop: Coach, mentor and scale your team of Area Managers, ensuring optimal staffing, skills, and readiness
Work with cross-functional teams (Automation, OpEx, HR, IT, Transport) to solve live challenges and align resources
Monitor site KPIs, conduct root-cause analyses, and champion a continuous improvement culture
Support implementation of new processes, tools and automated systems across the fulfillment center
Drive standardisation, safety compliance and best-practice adoption in a new operational environment
Support operations during peak periods, weekends and holidays with hands-on problem-solving
Build an environment with stronger standards, better processes and an engaging, high-energy culture from Day 1
Drive your shift to successful outcomes and help teams adopt new ways of working smoothly and consistently
What we’re looking for
2+ years of experience in operations, logistics or manufacturing management
Proven track record of managing teams (20+ ppl) in fast-paced environments
Strong analytical mindset, data-driven decision-making and problem-solving approach
Excellent communication, coordination and leadership skills
High school leaving exam (Abitur/Matura) or higher education
Proficiency in English, Czech is a plus not mandatory
Availability to work regular business hours, Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturdays to support operational needs
Nice to have:
University degree or MBA in a related field
Experience with Lean, Six Sigma or continuous improvement methodologies
Experience with WMS tools and high-volume automated fulfillment operations
