Madd Gear is seeking a dependable, hands-on Warehouse Lead to run the daily physical workflow of our Savannah warehouse. This is an active floor-based role, not an office or warehouse management position.
The Warehouse Lead will personally receive, move, organize, pick, pack, stage, and load inventory while keeping the warehouse safe, orderly, and physically accurate. The role works closely with the office-based Warehouse Admin, who coordinates shipping priorities, documentation, carrier communication, and system administration.
Most day-to-day work will be completed independently. When temporary labor is brought in for container unloads, inventory counts, or peak periods, the Warehouse Lead will organize the work and provide clear floor direction.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

· Plan and complete the day’s physical warehouse priorities with minimal supervision.
· Keep inventory locations, staging areas, loading areas, walkways, tools, and equipment clean, safe, and organized.

· Unload inbound containers, trucks, LTL freight, and parcel deliveries.
· Count and inspect received products against the available receiving documentation.

Physical Inventory Accuracy
· Maintain accurate physical product locations and complete required inventory movements in the company’s ERP system.
· Perform cycle counts and physical inventory counts as requested.
· Investigate physical inventory discrepancies and communicate findings so corrections can be completed.
Additional Labor and Safety

· Assign practical tasks, explain priorities and safety requirements, and monitor the quality of the work.
· Follow company safety procedures and applicable OSHA requirements, including proper equipment and PPE use.
· Report accidents, injuries, product damage, safety concerns, or significant operational delays promptly.

· 2+ years of hands-on warehouse, distribution, or fulfillment experience.
