Warehouse Operations Team Lead

Better Earth is a provider of sustainable packaging solutions founded to make sustainability accessible. We seek someone who understands and embraces our mission and recognizes their unique role in helping us make a significant impact together.

We are looking for a Warehouse Operations Team Lead to join our Chicago facility in the Chicago Metropolitan area. This role will report directly to the Warehouse Manager, who will be responsible for achieving key performance indicators (KPIs) while supervising warehouse staff. The ideal candidate will be a strong leader with an entrepreneurial mindset, capable of effectively managing our organization's vital logistics hub. Given the dynamic nature of this role, flexibility and a proactive approach to taking on various tasks are essential. The Warehouse Operations Team Lead will primarily oversee staff, manage fulfillment, and collaborate with the management team to identify and pursue growth opportunities.

About Better Earth

Our products are designed to meet the most demanding sustainability requirements at the highest quality and best price. But we don’t stop there. Driven by our three core pillars: sustainability, innovation, and experience, we work diligently to catalyze environmental initiatives across our supply chain and educate stakeholders about how we can close the loop on our products and bolster the circular economy.

Our Culture

Our mission is to be “purists” who do not waiver from our responsibilities as environmental stewards. We invest in the people who make this mission possible by providing on-the-job training, a fun work environment, and growth opportunities.

We love creative thinkers who feel comfortable bringing their whole selves, voices, and perspectives to work daily and are unafraid to poke holes. To this end, over three-quarters of Better Earth’s corporate team are women or people from underrepresented populations.

We operate in a fast-paced environment, which means we need team players who are comfortable rolling up their sleeves, speaking up, asking questions, innovating, building processes, pivoting when necessary, and loving learning.

(PS: We also love goofy jokes, cooking, gardening, the outdoors, work-life balance, and big ideas.)
