Area Manager, Away Team & Crisis Support

Spreetail propels brands to increase their ecommerce market share across the globe while improving their operational costs. Learn how we are building one of the fastest-growing ecommerce companies in history: www.spreetail.com.

Spreetail is looking for a driven and adaptable Area Manager to join our Away Team — a small, high-impact group designed to support facility launches, crisis response, and network-wide operations excellence. This is not a traditional site-based role. You will be embedded across our fulfillment center network, learning our operating model from the ground up and deploying where we need you most. When Spreetail opens a new fulfillment center, you will transition into permanent leadership there — equipped with the skills, relationships, and institutional knowledge to lead from day one.

This role is built for someone who thrives in change, learns fast, and wants a clear path to site ownership. If you’re looking for a predictable routine, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for accelerated growth and a front-row seat to how a network-scale fulfillment operation is built — this is your role.

How will you achieve success

-

Embed in assigned fulfillment centers during your onboarding period, contributing to daily inbound and outbound operations while building deep fluency in Spreetail’s operating model.

-

Deploy into focus or crisis facilities when the Away Team is activated, providing rapid operational support alongside teammates to stabilize performance and accelerate recovery.

-

Hold regular 1:1s with Leads to maximize training opportunities, address concerns, and contribute to the growth and development of fulfillment center team members.

-

Identify and drive process improvements that result in greater efficiency, accuracy, and safety across the sites you support.

-

Champion a safety-first culture at every facility you support — quickly assess conditions in new environments, identify and address unsafe behaviors or hazards, and treat every near-miss as a learning opportunity.

-

Travel to assigned or activated facilities a minimum of 25% of the time, with the expectation that travel may increase based on network needs and launch timing.

-

Prepare to transition into a permanent Area Manager role at a new Spreetail fulfillment center — this placement is a core part of this role’s purpose and career trajectory.
