Warehouse Manager, Exhibits, Midwest

Emerge XP is partnering with an exhibit and event production team to hire a Warehouse Manager who brings structure, pace, and pride to the backbone of the operation. This role is all about keeping show-critical materials moving.  Client properties, rentals, crates, graphics, hardware, and equipment so production schedules stay intact and event timelines don’t slip.  If you’re the kind of leader who loves an organized warehouse, accurate inventory, and a team that knows exactly what “ready to ship” looks like, this is a role where you can make a real impact every single day.

You’ll collaborate closely with design, project management, and production to keep projects moving, reduce shop-floor friction, and ensure the finished product looks as good in real life as it did in the render. Why This Role Your work drives the build: you produce documentation the shop relies elevating quality. High collaboration, low silo: partner daily with Designers, Project Managers, and Production to resolve constructability questions early.
