Planning & Warehouse Operations Manager
Catalina Finer Foods LLC — Tampa, FL | Full-time | On-site
About Catalina Finer Foods
Catalina Finer Foods is a growing food manufacturer producing quality products for retail and foodservice customers nationwide. We operate SQF-certified facilities and take food safety, employee safety, and doing right by our people seriously. Our Tampa plant is the heart of our operation, and this role sits at the center of it.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Planning & Warehouse Operations Manager to own two things that determine whether our plant runs well: the production schedule and the warehouse.
You'll turn customer demand into a realistic production plan, make sure the materials are here when the lines need them, and run receiving, storage, inventory control, and shipping so product moves accurately and on time. If you like owning the whole flow — from forecast to loaded truck — instead of one slice of it, this is that job.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll spend time in the ERP and time on the floor.
What You'll Do
Planning & Scheduling
- Build and maintain the weekly and daily production schedule based on demand, customer orders, and plant capacity
- Run MRP and get purchase requisitions to Procurement with enough lead time to protect the schedule
- Sequence runs around allergens, changeovers, and line capability in partnership with Operations, QA, and Maintenance
- Keep planning data honest — BOMs, yields, lead times, safety stock, min/max
- Report schedule attainment daily and flag shortages and at-risk orders before they become misses
- Manage inventory levels against service targets, working capital, and shelf life
Warehouse Operations
- Direct receiving, put-away, storage, picking, staging, loading, and shipping for raw materials, packaging, and finished goods
- Enforce FIFO/FEFO rotation, lot traceability, and hold-and-release procedures with QA
- Own inventory accuracy — run the cycle count program, chase down root causes of variance, reconcile to the ERP, and lead physical inventories
- Manage carrier scheduling, dock appointments, BOLs, and load accuracy; resolve OS&D
- Keep the warehouse organized, properly slotted, and correctly segregated for allergens and chemicals
- Oversee the forklift fleet — inspections, operator certification, preventive maintenance
Compliance & Leadership
- Keep warehouse and shipping audit-ready for SQF, HACCP, GMP, and customer audits, and close out corrective actions
- Ensure OSHA compliance including PPE, powered industrial truck safety, racking integrity, and safe stacking
- Supervise, schedule, train, and develop the planning and warehouse team
- Manage labor cost, overtime, outside storage, and freight spend against budget
- Report on the numbers that matter: schedule attainment, inventory accuracy, on-time shipping, fill rate, days on hand, shrink
What You Bring
Required
- 5+ years in production planning, inventory control, and/or warehouse management, including 2+ years supervising a team
- Hands-on ERP experience — planning, inventory transactions, cycle counts, and physical inventories
- Working knowledge of HACCP, SQF, and GMP requirements, plus OSHA standards including powered industrial trucks
- Strong Excel skills and the ability to turn inventory and production data into decisions
- HACCP certification, or willingness to obtain it within 90 days of hire
- Forklift certification, or ability to be certified within 30 days
- High school diploma or GED
- Bilingual English & Spanish
Preferred
- Food or beverage manufacturing experience
- Bilingual English/Spanish
- Associate's or Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related field
- APICS CPIM or CSCP
- Forklift trainer certification
Schedule & Environment
Monday through Friday, with availability to support off-shift, weekend, and inventory-count coverage as business needs require.
Work is split between an office and an active manufacturing and warehouse environment that can be cold, wet, or noisy, including refrigerated and freezer areas. The role requires lifting up to 50 lbs., standing and walking for extended periods, and safely operating a forklift and pallet jack. Required PPE is provided.

How do you become a and operations planning in Florida?
Most and operations planning roles in Florida require a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, operations, business administration, or industrial engineering. Florida does not issue a state license specific to this role, so candidates advance through education and professional certification. Earning the APICS Certified in Planning and Inventory Management credential is the most recognized qualifier among Florida employers, and many large distribution and manufacturing companies in the state use it as a baseline hiring standard.
Which companies hire and operations plannings in Florida?
Companies currently hiring and operations plannings in Florida include Lockheed Martin, Lukos, and Arthrex, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's concentration of aerospace, defense, and large-scale distribution operations means demand is consistent year-round rather than tied to seasonal hiring cycles.
Which Florida cities have the most and operations planning jobs?
Tampa, Orlando, and Doral are the Florida cities with the most and operations planning openings, driven by the large aerospace and defense contractors concentrated around Orlando, the port-linked logistics and distribution activity in Miami, and Tampa's growing mix of consumer goods manufacturers and regional headquarters that maintain dedicated planning teams.

About 40% of and operations planning openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, making it a realistic option for experienced candidates. The most remote-friendly functions are demand planning and S&OP analysis, while production scheduling and plant-level coordination roles typically require an on-site presence.

Companies like Amazon and Chewy operate fulfillment centers across central and south Florida that hire for planning-adjacent roles without requiring prior planning experience.
