ABOUT US

Your After School is a woman-owned after-school enrichment company serving 20+ school sites across Connecticut and New York. For 15 years we have built flexible, fun, and high-quality programs that inspire kids and support families. Our small, dedicated back-office team is the engine behind everything — and this role sits at the center of it all.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a hands-on Warehouse & Operations Manager who knows how to run a physical operation from the inside out.

You'll oversee our full materials lifecycle: purchasing, receiving, stock management, kit packing, and delivery coordination to 20+ school sites across CT and NY. You'll also directly manage the Curriculum Coordinator and packing/delivery staff — making sure content, materials, and schedules all line up seamlessly. If you've run a warehouse, managed inventory systems, and led a small team in a fast-paced environment, this role was written for you.
