Assistant Warehouse Manager

Poster Invasion is a woman-owned social enterprise that runs pop-up events on college campuses nationwide. We are based in Greenville, SC and this role is part of our warehouse team.

We are seeking a driven, intelligent, adaptable, and organized Assistant Manager to compliment our experienced existing team. This role assists the warehouse manager with various tasks, including inventory control, quality oversight, pulling and shipping, receiving, and preparations for our teams that run the events. The cyclical nature of the business means that the job tasks change through the course of the year to always keep things interesting and far from a traditional pick & pack style operation. An individual with a knack for order and organization, solid spreadsheet skills, and desire to work in a very collaborative workplace would thrive in this position.

Our operation is high pressure during our selling season of about 15 weeks, but we spend the rest of the year in preparation mode. To be successful in this role you will have to be cognizant of work pacing and be able to hold yourself to internal deadlines, anticipate how long tasks will take, and consistently work ahead.
