Jobs in Hayward, CA

About the role

The Warehouse Associate Lead role owns the dock-to-distribution cycle: receiving inbound raw goods and vendor partial kits, running the accuracy-critical distribution and palletizing workflow that gets finished kits out to school sites, and directly supervising seasonal temp labor during peak distribution. This role is a key accuracy checkpoint in a highly bespoke, multi-product kit operation spanning across hundreds of school sites and partners. Galileo Learning has been offering educational summer experiences for 25 years: STEAM-based hands-on camp and expanded learning programs that build creative confidence, growth mindset, and innovation skills for kids from kindergarten through eighth grade. Behind every camp day is a warehouse operation that receives raw materials, finishes and palletizes kits, and gets them to the right site on time and complete. This role partners closely within the Supply Chain team to keep goods moving accurately from dock to truck, and is the primary point of direction for seasonal temp labor during peak distribution. Success in this role requires a high degree of accuracy, physical ability, and the ability to clearly direct others during our highest-volume periods. Every kit that reaches a school site starts here. Because our kits are complex, multi-component, and highly bespoke, a single receiving or palletizing error can mean a classroom missing the materials it needs on day one. This role is the accuracy checkpoint that stands between a shipment leaving our dock and a Camp Director opening a box that’s exactly right.
