Warehouse Operations Manager

Wanted: leader for demanding work behind the scenes. Immovable deadlines, heavy crates, and a warehouse that’s hot in August and cold in January. Do it well, and you’re the reason someone’s big show goes off without a hitch. Strength of character guaranteed.

We’re ExpoDisplays, part of Culton Companies in Birmingham. We build trade show exhibits and ship them to shows across the country from a 130,000 square foot warehouse. When a show opens, the booth has to be there, complete and correct. One missing bracket can sink it in another city, and you won’t be there to fix it.

Here’s the challenge. The floor runs well, but our inventory doesn’t have a true owner yet. It lives in spreadsheets that too many people touch and nobody controls. Custom exhibits, portable displays, repairs, counts, locations, storage billing: you’ll own all of it, and you’ll build the scalable system that keeps it right.

This job is owning tedious detail at a world-class level. Your crew rarely sees the finished booth. The client’s big moment happens somewhere else. When it goes right, the phone doesn’t ring. When it goes wrong, it rings a lot. So you have to care about getting it right for its own sake, on the hot days, the long days, and the days nobody says thank you.

Here’s why the right person wants this anyway. Hard work done well, under pressure, with nobody watching, is how resilience gets built. You’ll build it in yourself, and then you’ll build it into a team: people who run toward the storm, take pride in the details, and come out of every peak season a little stronger than they went in.

If you need predictable days or a steady stream of applause, we say this kindly: please don’t apply.

Still reading? Here’s the rest: we work hard, and we make time to enjoy it. Quarterly team events, a long-tenured crew that actually likes each other, and plenty of laughs between deadlines. You’ll also get real ownership, a few trips to see your work standing on an actual show floor, and $80-100K+ depending on experience. No trade show experience needed. Leadership and a cool head under deadline are.

Apply and tell us in a few sentences about the hardest stretch you’ve ever worked through and what it taught you. We’ll read that part first.

The perks

We take care of the people who keep the operation running:

• Health, dental, and vision
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Paid parental leave
• PTO plus 7 paid holidays
• AFLAC and Liberty National
• FSA plan
• Online payroll access
• Quarterly employee events

Why Culton?

Our people stay, and there is a reason for that. Culton is the kind of place where the work matters and the team feels like it. You will run an operation that plays a real part in making our clients’ shows a success, alongside teammates who have been here a while, at a company that promotes from within. If you want to own something and grow with it, this is a career worth building.

If you’ve read this far, it probably sounds like a fit. Attach your resume and let’s talk.
