With a reputation for customization, innovation, and service, Unisync is a multi-award-winning leader in managed uniform solutions across North America. Location: Guelph, ON (On-site) Travel Required: Occasional travel to facilities in Montreal, Vancouver, and Las Vegas. Position Overview We're seeking a results-driven, analytical, and people-focused Director of Distribution to oversee our distribution centers in Guelph, Montreal, Vancouver, and Las Vegas. This role goes beyond day-to-day operations. We're looking for a leader who can leverage data and analytics to drive performance, improve processes, and lead with both vision and accountability. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable on the floor and behind the dashboard — someone who understands the physical demands of distribution, but also excels at breaking down metrics, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing smart, scalable improvements. Strong leadership, clear communication, and a firm-but-fair approach to team management are essential. Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a high-performing team of Operations Managers, Supervisors, and associates across four facilities.
• Oversee all facets of DC operations including receiving, storage, fulfillment, inventory management, and outbound shipping.
• Use data analytics and KPI tracking to identify gaps in productivity, efficiency, and service — and develop action plans to address them.
• Implement and lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, or other methodologies.
• Support and drive the implementation of new Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and technology tools to improve operational visibility and execution.
• Manage labor planning, budgeting, and forecasting to align resources with business needs.
• Maintain compliance with safety, quality, and customer SLA standards.
• Develop strong, collaborative relationships with department leaders to ensure alignment across facilities.
• Play a key role in new facility launches, from planning through execution.
• Foster a positive, accountable workplace culture — one that prioritizes team engagement, fairness, and performance.
• Coach, develop, and hold team members to high standards of professionalism and productivity.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of senior distribution or supply chain leadership experience in multi-site operations.
• Proven ability to use analytics to drive operational decisions and improve performance.
• Deep understanding of inventory control, logistics, and warehouse KPIs.
• Strong track record of WMS implementation and process optimization.
• Experience managing large teams (100+ employees) in high-volume environments.
• Experience in opening and scaling new facilities is strongly preferred.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and people management skills, able to be both approachable and assertive.
• Tech-savvy and fluent in Excel, WMS platforms, and dashboard/reporting tools.
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business, or a related field.

What We Offer

• A dynamic leadership role in a growing and respected company
• The opportunity to shape national distribution strategy and execution
• Competitive compensation and benefits package
• A high-performing, team-first culture focused on excellence and innovation
