Operations Coordinator
Location:Â Irving, Texas
Department:Â Warehouse
Reports To:Â Warehouse Manager
FLSA Status:Â Non-Exempt
Position Summary
Om Produce is seeking a mid-level Outbound Operations Coordinator to own the accuracy and timeliness of everything that leaves our warehouse. This role manages order staging, load building, carrier coordination, and shipping documentation, ensuring every outbound order is picked, packed, and dispatched correctly and on schedule. The Operations Coordinator works closely with drivers, dispatch, sales, and customer service to keep outbound freight moving without delay, and serves as the connective tissue between the warehouse floor and the rest of the business.
The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. They are equally comfortable coordinating with a driver on the dock and flagging a shipping discrepancy to the sales team. This role is best suited for someone who takes ownership of outcomes, communicates clearly across departments, and thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

- Monitor cold-chain compliance and proper loading practices for perishable produce during staging and transit
Performance Tracking & Process Improvement

- Identify bottlenecks in the outbound process and recommend improvements to routing, staging, or scheduling
Team Support & Warehouse Coordination
- Direct and support warehouse staff assigned to outbound picking, packing, and loading during each shift
- Serve as a point of coordination between outbound staff, dispatch, and warehouse leadership during each shift
