Our 400+ employees are spread across numerous departments and business lines, but are single-minded in our mission to develop technology to support the many needs of our customers. We believe that small businesses need support now more than ever, and that Odeko is uniquely positioned to provide that support.
Residing in the Central Region (Dallas, Austin, Houston, Louisville, or Colorado), this role will lead people, processes, and systems across a region of small-to-medium warehouse facilities, each with its own fleet, last-mile, and eCommerce operations. This is a high-impact, multi-site leadership role with full accountability for regional operational and financial performance — driving cost efficiency, service excellence, safety, and quality across every site in the portfolio. The Senior Regional GM leads through Site General Managers and Site Leads, and serves as the senior operational leader and face of Odeko across the region.
