• Introducing greater structure and accountability across the operation.
• Working closely with senior management to identify and deliver further improvements.

The Person

We're looking for an experienced warehouse professional who is comfortable taking ownership of an operation and making improvements quickly.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience as a Warehouse Manager, Warehouse Operations Manager or experienced Warehouse Supervisor.
• Experience leading a warehouse or distribution team.
• Strong goods-in, goods-out and dispatch knowledge.
• Good understanding of inventory management and stock accuracy.
• Experience within an e-commerce, parcel fulfilment, distribution or fast-moving warehouse environment would be particularly beneficial.
• A hands-on leadership style.
• Experience improving warehouse processes and operational standards.
• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
• The confidence to identify issues and implement solutions without requiring significant supervision.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced warehouse professional who is available for an initial 6–8 month assignment and wants the autonomy to make a tangible impact within a busy operation.
