This opening is for a full-time Distribution Center Leadership role located at the Petco distribution center at 9050 Red Rock Road, Reno, NV. The role is pivotal in managing the operations of one of Petco’s key distribution centers, which supports inventory control, logistics, and overall supply chain efficiency to ensure stores and veterinary hospitals have access to the products and supplies they need on time. The Distribution Center Manager will supervise multiple subordinate exempt-level supervisors and indirectly manage all distribution center employees. This position demands strong leadership capabilities, including interviewing, hiring, training, delegating, performance management, disciplinary actions, and potential terminations when necessary. The candidate will independently prioritize and accomplish multiple tasks, analyze data for strategic decision-making, and ensure all operations align with Petco’s mission to serve pets and their parents with excellence.

To succeed, candidates need at least 10 years of experience in distribution center or warehouse management demonstrating strong knowledge of scheduling, budgeting, accounting, and inventory control. Minimum educational requirements include two years of college or equivalent experience, with a preferred bachelor’s degree in business, management, or logistics.
