Assistant Warehouse Operations Manager
Porter Logistics is a fast-growing third-party logistics (3PL) provider redefining modern warehousing and fulfillment. Headquartered in Atlanta, we’ve grown over the past decade from a two-person operation in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse to an organization supporting more than 1 million square feet across multiple Georgia facilities. We partner with high-expectation customers who depend on accuracy, transparency, and operational excellence. Our success is driven by disciplined execution, a strong commitment to safety and quality, and teams that take ownership of their work. As we continue to expand, we’re focused on building scalable processes and long-term careers. At Porter, you’ll find a hands-on, fast-paced environment where teamwork, integrity, consistency, and accountability are at the core of how we operate. The Role
The Assistant Operations Manager will serve as the right hand to the Operations Manager for our highest-volume facility. You will help lead daily warehouse operations, support a large team, and ensure the building runs efficiently, safely, and accurately across receiving, inventory, picking, shipping, and client communication. This is an onsite, full-time position. You will be deeply involved in the day-to-day running of the warehouse and will step in as acting Operations Manager when needed. This role is perfect for someone who is ready to move up from Warehouse Lead / Supervisor into broader operational responsibility—or a current manager who thrives in a hands-on, high-volume environment.

- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and pivot quickly as priorities change.
- Strong communication and leadership skills with a focus on accountability and accuracy.
- Hands-on work ethic—willing and able to be on the floor daily with the team.
