Warehouse Manager

Location: Blaine, MN

Position Overview

Waggle is seeking a Warehouse Manager to lead and support our warehouse operations team while overseeing the full fulfillment ecosystem. This includes receiving, picking and packing, order flow management, inventory accuracy, space planning, safety and team leadership. This will require part hands-on support, part strategic oversight. Some days you'll be at your desk analyzing inventory data or reviewing staffing plans; other days you'll be on the floor packing orders, jumping in on a large wholesale prep, or troubleshooting a workflow bottleneck alongside the team.

Success in this role relies on strong cross-functional partnership. The Warehouse Manager will work closely with the logistics manager, sales support manager, and sales team to translate business demand into predictable, scalable, and efficient execution. This role ensures that workflows remain aligned, communication is clear, and warehouse performance consistently meets organizational needs.
