What The Role Is
Babylist is hiring an Assistant Manager of Fulfillment Operations for Day Shift at our fulfillment center in Commercial Point, Ohio, just south of Columbus.

You will report to and work closely with the Operations Manager, with supervisors reporting directly to you.
Our fulfillment center is growing fast, and this role is part of how we invest in that growth. You will lead the floor across multiple workflows, coach and hold your supervisors accountable, and partner with our Senior Fulfillment Analyst to build labor plans that match inbound and outbound volume.
