Job Description

Len Busch Roses is seeking an experienced Warehouse & Loading Team Lead to oversee our evening/night order fulfillment and outbound loading operations. This role is ideal for a strong frontline leader who can drive execution, hold teams accountable, coach for performance, and ensure customer deliveries leave accurately and on time.

This is not a desk role—this is a working leadership position where you’ll be actively leading from the floor in a high-volume warehouse environment.

What you'll do:

As the Warehouse & Loading Team Lead, you will be responsible for leading second/third shift outbound operations, including order picking, packing, truck loading, labor execution, and team performance.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Lead daily warehouse/order fulfillment operations including picking, packing, staging, and truck loading
  • Execute the nightly labor plan and make real-time staffing adjustments based on workload, volume, and operational priorities
  • Drive team productivity, efficiency, and on-time completion of outbound shipments
  • Coach, train, and hold team members accountable to standardized work, safety expectations, and productivity goals
  • Monitor order accuracy, product quality, and loading execution to ensure exceptional customer service
  • Partner cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Sales, and Operations teams to resolve issues quickly and minimize service disruptions
  • Support onboarding and development of new employees in partnership with mentors and supervisors
  • Promote labor sharing, cross-training, and operational flexibility to meet changing business demands
  • Build a culture of accountability, teamwork, urgency, and continuous improvement
  • Lead by example as a visible, engaged floor leader
  • This role requires the ability to perform a variety of physical tasks in changing work environments, including both hot and cold conditions. Truck loading takes place on a dock where temperatures may vary depending on outdoor weather conditions.
What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a leader who can balance people leadership with operational execution.
