Reports to: GTE Brands Supply Chain Manager

Why This Role?

About GTE Brands

GTE Brands is a growing cross-border e-commerce company scaling its operations to 3,000+ products per day across multiple channels.

We are looking for an experienced On-Site Warehouse Manager to oversee GTE's warehouse operations at our partner warehouse in Foshan.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands high-volume e-commerce fulfillment and can translate warehouse processes and SOPs into consistent day-to-day execution.

Your Role

You will work closely with the partner warehouse team to ensure GTE's standards are followed across the fulfillment process, from receiving and put-away to picking, packing, and pre-shipment quality control.

Your core responsibilities will include:

1. Receiving & put-away standards: enforce GTE's inbound SOP on the floor — count check, damage check, label verification, photo documentation of exceptions, and proper put-away location. Reject or quarantine what doesn't meet spec; document every exception with evidence.

2. Picking, packing & presentation: ensure every outbound order is picked accurately, packed to GTE's standard (correct mailer, filler, sealing, label placement), and presented in a way that lifts the unboxing experience. Spot-check packed orders daily.

3. Damage-rate reduction: own the damage rate KPI end-to-end — identify root causes (supplier packaging, internal handling, courier handoff), drive corrective actions, and verify the trend.

4. Consumables (non-inventory) management: maintain on-site consumables inventory (mailers, fillers, tape, labels, dunnage, branded inserts); run weekly cycle counts; reorder before stockout; eliminate waste and pilferage; keep presentation brand-consistent.

5. Pre-packing QC gate: operate or supervise the final QC station before packing; define pass/fail criteria with the product/QC team; ensure defective, mis-specified, or visually subpar products never reach the packing station.

6. Training & onboarding: partner with Potato's warehouse leads to train new and existing associates on GTE's SOPs, brand standards, and quality bar; maintain a written training checklist per role.

7. Scheduling & shift coverage: work with Potato's warehouse management to plan shifts and headcount; ensure coverage during peak and adequate rest during normal weeks; flag staffing risks early.

8. Performance management: establish clear per-shift KPIs (orders packed per hour, damage rate, QC pass rate); run regular performance reviews; surface under-performers to Potato's leads; support up-or-out decisions with evidence.

9. Cross-team coordination: partner with Sourcing (inbound quality and supplier issues), Product Ops (exception cases that originate from the warehouse), and Cross-Border Ops (returns and claims) so the warehouse has clear upstream and downstream accountability.

10. Metrics & reporting: maintain a weekly warehouse dashboard (damage rate, on-time ship rate, consumables burn rate, productivity per shift, QC pass rate); flag risks to GTE leadership proactively.

What We're Looking For

Must Have

• 5+ years in e-commerce warehouse operations (3PL, dropshipping, or marketplace), with hands-on experience receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping at 1,000+ orders/day

• Demonstrated experience writing and enforcing warehouse SOPs that floor staff actually follow

• Hands-on experience with non-inventory consumables management (mailers, fillers, tape, labels, dunnage) at scale

• Experience working with or managing an embedded/contract warehouse team (training, scheduling, performance management)

• Strong data literacy: comfortable in Excel/Google Sheets; able to build warehouse KPI dashboards (damage rate, on-time ship rate, productivity per shift)

• Working English (written and spoken); Mandarin Chinese required for daily warehouse-floor coordination

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience

Nice to Have

Experience with:

• Prior experience at a high-volume cross-border 3PL or e-commerce warehouse (TikTok Shop, Temu, SHEIN, AliExpress, Amazon FBA warehouse, or comparable)

• Experience with WMS (Warehouse Management System) implementation, optimization, or migration

• Six Sigma, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality management background

• Experience optimizing consumables cost without sacrificing presentation

• Bilingual or near-bilingual English/Chinese

Important Before Applying

This role is best suited to candidates who have genuinely managed high-volume e-commerce warehouse operations, rather than candidates whose experience is limited to general warehousing, logistics coordination, inventory administration, or office-based supply-chain work.
