Job description
At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.
You’ll be joining an ambitious, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.
The role: We are hiring a founding Warehouse Operations Manager to own the physical back-office operations of Coram: how we receive, store, package, and ship our hardware, and how we manage inventory as we scale. This is a hands-on, build-from-scratch role reporting to the Head of People.
Responsibilities:
- Own shipping and receiving day to day, coordinating with multiple transportation and carrier partners, and manage domestic and international shipments (including to markets like Canada and Australia)
- Own the physical flow of product on the ground, from how items are packaged and shelved to the practical mechanics of moving inventory through the warehouse safely and efficiently
- Oversee management end to end: tracking hardware inventory, storage, forecasting, and standing up systems
- Selecting and running the warehouse management system (WMS), ERP, and inventory tracking tools as Coram grows
- Partner closely with sales and product teams
- Build scalable processes that keep pace with demand
- Manage and grow the existing warehouse team
Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on warehouse, inventory, or physical-operations experience (mid-to-senior level)
- Direct, hands-on experience with warehouse management systems (WMS), ERPs, and inventory tracking tools
- Strong command of shipping and receiving, packaging, storage, and working with transportation and carrier partners, including international shipping
- Experience managing inventory at scale: tracking, forecasting, replenishment, and keeping high-value inventory accurate
- Experience being a part of a small warehouse or physical-operations team that scaled (roughly a 10 to 25 person team) is a plus
- Comfortable being hands-on and onsite; physical operations require a physical presence
- Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels
- Ability to work in an onsite environment
What we offer:
- 100% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance
- Flexible paid time off and 10 paid holidays
- 401(k) with both Traditional and Roth options
- Early-stage equity in a rapidly growing company
- Referral bonuses
- Daily team dinners and regular team off-sites
- The latest Apple products and unlimited tech stack (Claude Cowork, Perplexity Computer, Nooks, Clay, Instantly, etc.)
We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations. From firearm detection to intelligent access control, our AI-native platform turns every camera and sensor into a smart system that enhances safety, efficiency, and awareness.
