We are growing fast and need a warehouse manager for our 10,000sqft warehouse. We are an audio video company doing concerts and events. Really busy for 6 months and then pretty dead for 6 months. The job will be responsible for scheduling warehouse labor, supervising them and getting shows pulled and packed into trucks.
Does anyone have a reference for this?

Are you in manhattan or LA., or Lawrence Kansas? It’s impossible to answer that without knowing more details, look at what similar jobs pay in your area. Our warehouse manager started at 45K with 5% increase yoy based on performance reviews. I know guys running warehouses in LA making $150K a year,albeit much larger operations.
Without getting into too much financial detail I would recommend a younger less experienced manager. Someone who can adapt and grow with your company. It’ll be easier to train someone with less experience as you grow than to hire an experienced manager who may be set in their own ways and use to a larger volume who may get bored or frustrated.
Most industries have national and regional trade associations that conduct annual operator surveys and use the data to develop industry benchmarks.
This would include data on sales volumes, revenues, operating costs, number of employees, wages, advertising methods, services offered, etc.
