We Need a Warehouse Ops Expert - Help Us Build Content the Industry Will Actually Trust - Contract to Hire

We’re a warehouse management software company focused on small-to-mid-sized U.S. manufacturers and distributors. Our customers are real operators - plant managers, warehouse managers, and ops leaders - not Fortune 500 supply chain teams. The goal of this role is to bring real operational judgment into our content so it actually reflects how warehouses work in the real world. What you’ll work on first Your first project is to create a **“WMS Readiness” assessment** that helps a company answer: “Are we truly ready for a warehouse management system, and what needs to be true for it to succeed here?” That may take the form of: - A quiz or diagnostic that a manufacturer or distributor can complete, and/or - A concise white paper or guide, such as “How to Know When You’re Ready for a WMS” Key themes this assessment and content should emphasize: - Clear roles and responsibilities across warehouse, operations, IT, finance, and leadership - Common reasons WMS implementations fail that have nothing to do with the software itself (people, process, ownership, training) - The idea that successful warehouse change “takes a village,” not a single internal champion - Practical, observable signals operators recognize: inventory inaccuracy, constant firefighting, tribal knowledge, growth that has outpaced current processes, audit and compliance pain, etc. We’ll collaborate on the structure and overall message. You bring the real-world ops experience and point of view; we’ll bring product context and examples from our customer base. ### Who this is for You might be a strong fit if you have experience as a: - Warehouse Manager or Warehouse Supervisor - Operations Manager / Director of Operations - Supply Chain or Logistics Leader - Manufacturing Operations or Continuous Improvement leader - Consultant focused on manufacturing or distribution operations Backgrounds that are especially relevant: - Hands-on experience in U.S. manufacturing or distribution environments - Direct involvement in a WMS and/or ERP implementation (successful or painful is fine) - Experience in SMB or mid-market companies (roughly $5M–$50M revenue), rather than heavily automated mega-DCs - Familiarity with systems like QuickBooks, Sage, Acumatica, NetSuite, or similar mid-market ERPs - Exposure to both “before WMS” and “after WMS” realities—understanding what actually changes on the floor You do **not** need to be a marketer or professional writer. What matters is: - You have strong opinions about what makes warehouse projects succeed or fail - You can translate messy real-world experience into clear, straightforward explanations - You’re comfortable collaborating to shape ideas into content other operators will trust ### Longer-term opportunity Beyond this first “WMS Readiness” project, there is potential for ongoing work. We are building a community of manufacturing and distribution operators and want practitioners involved in: - Shaping future content topics and series - Participating in webinars, roundtables, or office hours - Helping us design practical resources, checklists, and playbooks - Potentially leading classes or sessions on our community platform If you care about helping other operators avoid painful projects and make better technology decisions, this is a chance to turn your experience into something that reaches a lot of teams.
