Dock Sortation Lead

Full-Time Hourly · Operations · Alexandria, Virginia

Reports to: Location Manager

ABOUT SALTBOX

Saltbox makes the hardest parts of running a small online business simple. We bring together flexible warehouse suites, offices, and hands-on logistics support so eCommerce entrepreneurs can scale with confidence. When you join Saltbox, you're helping real small business owners in your own backyard succeed.

We're launching something new. And we need the right people to run it.

The Dock Sortation Lead owns the daily sortation operation at our Alexandria location: packages in, team managed, every SLA hit, every driver handed off clean. Your job is to run the dock: every package sorted, every SLA hit, and your team executing at standard from the moment the first pallet arrives.

This role has a clear scorecard, real autonomy, and direct impact you can measure every morning. If you thrive in fast, high-accountability environments, this is your seat.

WHAT THE JOB LOOKS LIKE

Your shift starts around 5:00am. Pallets arrive, packages get scanned and sorted into batches, and your team needs to be ready before the first driver shows up. You're on the floor the whole time: coaching throughput, catching errors before they become SLA misses, and making sure every handoff is clean. After dispatch, you submit your daily ops report and handle any exceptions or escalations.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Shift and sortation operations

  • Run the end-to-end sortation process: pallets in, packages scanned and sorted, batches staged, drivers dispatched
  • Stay on the floor and hands-on when volume or staffing needs it

Team leadership

  • Manage 2 to 7 Dock Sortation Specialists depending on volume
  • Coach throughput (225 scans/person/hour) and Sort App usage in real time
  • Get every team member trained and Sort App certified before they touch a package
  • Hold standards on the floor, not after the shift ends

SLA and quality compliance

  • Own site performance against all SLAs: delivery, loss rate, sort completion, and dispatch targets
  • Flag risks early enough to fix them, not after they become misses

Driver coordination and exception handling

  • Verify Runner identity, match to batches, confirm in Sort App — you're the last check before packages leave
  • Handle damaged packages and escalate missing ones immediately
  • Respond to partner communications within 30 minutes during operational hours

Reporting and compliance

  • Submit a complete daily ops report every shift: volume, device count, truck times, inventory, escalations
  • Maintain camera coverage and corporate device discipline at all times — zero unauthorized usage

HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS

  • 100% of packages sorted by 9:00am local time
  • 99.5% of packages dispatched by 11:00am
  • Warehouse On-Time Delivery at 99.9%
  • Loss rate below 0.02% of scanned packages
  • Daily ops report submitted completely and on time, every shift
  • Team fully trained and Sort App certified before handling packages
  • Zero unauthorized device usage or credential sharing

WHO THRIVES HERE

  • You're energized by early mornings and a fast floor, not worn down by them
  • You hold yourself and your team to high standards and earn trust doing it
  • You stay calm and decisive at 6:00am when things get hectic
  • You track details and follow up without being reminded
  • You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
  • You communicate clearly under time pressure, in writing and on the floor

WHAT YOU BRING

  • Comfortable using AI tools
  • 1 to 3+ years leading a team in warehouse, logistics, or fulfillment
  • Experience with scanning, sortation, or distribution workflows
  • Familiar with SLA-driven operations where accuracy and speed both matter
  • Available for early-morning shifts, 7-day rotation

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Medical coverage, 100% covered for two Aetna plans, or a low premium for PPO
  • Dental and vision covered at 100%
  • 401K plan options
  • Company-paid long-term and short-term disability and life insurance
  • Paid holidays, vacation time, sick time, and paid parental leave
  • Learning and professional development budget

HOW WE WORK WITH AI

AI is part of how we work at Saltbox. Every role here is expected to use AI tools as part of daily work, not as a novelty, but as a real lever for doing the job better. We invest in protected time, training budget, and a peer community to support that growth, and we expect every team member to lean in.

READY TO APPLY?

This is a full-time hourly position at $23 to $26 per hour. Shifts are early morning, typically 3:00am to 11:00 am, seven days per week on a rotation at our Alexandria, Virginia location. Only New Year's Day and Christmas Day are closed.

If you're ready to own something real and lead a team that makes it happen every morning, we want to hear from you. Apply today and become part of the Saltbox team.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
