Do you have a passion for operations, organization, and process excellence?

Are you energized by overseeing inventory, warehouse functions, and back-of-house systems that keep the store running smoothly? This might be your dream job!

At Alabama Outdoors, we’re serious about providing an incredible guest experience — and that starts with a well-run back-of-house operation.

We are looking for an organized, detail-oriented, and efficient Operations Manager to oversee all back-of-house responsibilities, including inventory accuracy, warehouse organization, and e-commerce fulfillment. While this is primarily an operations role, there will be light guest-facing responsibilities when needed to support the sales floor.

Position Summary

The Operations Manager oversees all aspects of back-of-house operations at the store level. This includes:

• Managing the receiving, processing, and staging of all new inventory.
• Ensuring accurate and timely transfers, returns, RTVs, and replenishment.
• Overseeing e-commerce and store-to-guest fulfillment.
• Maintaining accurate reporting and communication of inventory needs.
• Organizing and maintaining all warehouse and backstock areas.

This role is focused on operational excellence and provides only occasional, light support on the sales floor.
