Director of Distribution

Newnan, GA

Employment Type: Permanent Position Function: Operations Job Number: 16825111

Job Description

About Our Client

Our client is a premier, 100-year-old employee-owned technology distributor and supply chain partner that has successfully evolved from a traditional wholesale model into a multi-faceted logistics powerhouse. By combining their deep industry roots with cutting-edge e-commerce fulfillment and third-party logistics (3PL) solutions, they manage complex client accounts under rigorous customer SLAs. Completely empowered by the employee co-owners, fostering a collaborative culture focused on long-term growth, sustainable business practices, and community impact.

The Opportunity

This is a transformative leadership opportunity to take complete operational ownership of a prominent distribution center currently navigating a strategic recovery and scaling phase. As the Director, you will step into an operation poised for massive expansion, with plans to scale the workforce from 150 to approximately 300 employees over the next two years. This role is designed for a builder who wants to move away from daily production work and focus on building sustainable systems, instilling foundational process discipline, and developing next-generation leaders. You will have the unique challenge of stabilizing a critical facility while paving a direct career path toward future senior executive leadership opportunities.

The Location

The position is fully onsite and located in Newnan, Georgia, situated roughly 25 minutes south of the Atlanta Airport. This vibrant and growing region offers an exceptional quality of life and is highly accessible from many desirable Atlanta suburbs. Located within a critical southeastern logistics corridor, the facility provides an ideal hub for a leader rooted in the local area who understands the regional market dynamics and traffic realities. Expect about 10% travel as needed.

What You Will Do

  • Lead all day-to-day distribution center operations to achieve service, productivity, inventory, safety, and financial objectives.
  • Establish and maintain a strong operating rhythm, performance management process, and culture of accountability.
  • Develop, coach, and mentor a multi-level leadership team, including Senior Operations Managers, Operations Managers, and Supervisors.
  • Drive KPI performance through data-driven decision making, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Own facility-level financial performance, budgeting, labor planning, and cost management.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Quality, HR, Finance, Transportation, Inventory Control, and Customer-facing teams.
  • Ensure compliance with all safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
  • Support customer satisfaction by ensuring operational execution meets service expectations and commitments.
  • Build succession plans and develop future leaders within the operation.

Who You Are

  • 5+ years of senior operational leadership experience within distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, 3PL, logistics, or supply chain operations.
  • Strong leadership, coaching, and team development capabilities.
  • Experience leading operational improvement, stabilization, or transformation initiatives.
  • Demonstrated success managing operational KPIs, productivity, inventory, labor, and service performance.
  • Strong financial and business acumen, including budget and P&L responsibility.
  • Experience operating in fast-paced, high-volume environments with measurable performance objectives.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Bachelor s degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

Why Join the Team?

Our client offers an incredible opportunity to participate directly in the financial success of the business through a lucrative Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and a comprehensive 401k structure. The commitment to the employee co-owners is reflected in an extensive benefits package including comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, tuition assistance, gym reimbursements, and an employee purchase program. By joining the team, you will enter a supportive, collaborative environment that avoids short-term fixes, choosing instead to reward dedicated leaders who deliver lasting operational excellence and complete business transformations.

Brittany Struble
National Talent Acquisition Recruiter

Brittany Struble brings more than eight years of recruiting and executive search experience to Naviga, partnering with clients nationwide to deliver thoughtful, well-matched talent solutions across a wide range of industries. Her background spans Sales, Education, Financial Services, Legal, Construction, IT and Education with a functional focus on Leadership, C-Suite, Finance/CFO, and Administrative roles.

Brittany began her recruiting career in Special Education staffing on a national scale, where precision, empathy, and compliance were essential. She later joined AppleOne, a professional services staffing agency, where she supported clients throughout Florida, Georgia, New York, Hawaii, and beyond. This broad foundation allows her to approach every search with a well-rounded perspective and a deep understanding of both regional and national hiring dynamics.

At the core of Brittany’s approach is authenticity and transparency. She believes successful placements start with truly understanding a client’s business objectives and a candidate’s motivations, then aligning both sides with intention and care. By tailoring each search to the specific needs of the organization, Brittany focuses on creating placements that drive long-term success—not just short-term hires.

Throughout her career, Brittany has led several complex and rewarding searches, including a Controller role for a prestigious hospital group requiring specialized finance and healthcare expertise, and a Director of Operations search within the legal sector that demanded experience in legal operations and trust-related regulations. These engagements reinforced her belief that market knowledge, precision, and proactive communication are critical in today’s competitive hiring landscape.

Brittany sees one of the biggest challenges companies face in attracting top executive talent as understanding the market and the evolving priorities of today’s workforce. She helps clients overcome this by staying closely connected to candidates, monitoring market data, and continuously assessing how shifts in generational values and expectations influence hiring decisions.

What Brittany enjoys most about her role is the opportunity to create lasting, meaningful matches—helping organizations advance their initiatives while giving individuals the opportunity to grow, thrive, and feel fulfilled in their careers. She is a strong believer in continuous learning and accountability, approaching every search with curiosity and a commitment to excellence.

In addition to her recruiting work, Brittany has delivered presentations on generational dynamics in the workforce, helping organizations better understand how to position themselves to attract and retain talent across all age groups. She is also an active member of the Suncoast ALA and the Pasco Chamber of Commerce.

Outside of work, Brittany enjoys reading and writing, pursuits that reflect her thoughtful, reflective nature. She is deeply guided by the belief that every interaction leaves an echo, and she approaches her work and life with the intention of making a positive, lasting impact. Brittany has volunteered with soup kitchens across the five boroughs of New York, supported Feeding Tampa Bay, and contributed to various nonprofit organizations.
