About the role
About Veho
Veho's mission is to revolutionize the world of package delivery by creating exceptional experiences for customers and drivers.
For too long, parcel delivery companies have focused solely on efficiencies and cost-management. Veho focuses on the end-customer. As the first technology company of its kind, Veho replaces the old delivery trucks with a platform of crowdsourced drivers and a network of hyper-local delivery stations. We partner with some of the most recognized consumer brands such as Warby Parker and Hello Fresh to provide an incredible experience with every delivery, and give customers control on how, when and where their package is delivered.
Customers LOVE us. Despite growing at a record-speed over the past two years, we maintain an incredibly high customer satisfaction rating of 4.9/5 stars, and an unprecedented on-time delivery rate of 99.9% - far above every other company in the country.
In short, we are building the logistics platform of the future.
Veho is backed by former top executives and board members at Uber, FedEx, UPS, eBay and Amazon, three former public company CEOs, early investors in Lyft and Instacart, as well as prominent venture capital firms General Catalyst, Tiger Global, and Softbank. We are a team of leaders who are passionate about building an incredible company that will change the face of this industry.
As the Sr. Operations Manager, Warehouse will play a vital role in the overall success of a regional hub by leading employee activity to achieve performance goals and KPIs. You will be responsible for overseeing the regional sort facilities and driver launch operations while coaching, mentoring, and directing supervisors and associates. You will also be responsible for managing the operation’s P&L, leading logistics oversight, and focusing on process improvement. Additionally, you will ensure safety in the warehouse(s), including being a champion of OSHA compliance and appropriate reporting.
