Descrição da oferta de emprego

A leading South African online retailer is looking for a highly talented Junior Shift Manager to join our team at Our KZN Warehouse.

We are a young dynamic hyper growth company looking for smart creative hard‑working people with integrity to join us. We offer a market related Total Remuneration Package which allows full flexibility according to your experience.

Due to the increase of volumes we requested a Junior Shift Manager to assist us to run an additional shift as we have gone into a 3 shift structure. The other reason for this additional role is so that the current two Shift Managers can work a normal 8 hour week and run their own two shifts instead of working the 6 day weeks and additional hours per day they have been running. The Junior Shift Manager will also be responsible to run a full shift on his own. He will have Champions reporting into him who will assist him to ensure we achieve our business targets. This job will assist us in achieving our targets because all three shifts will now have their own shift managers to run the shifts.

Responsibilities

• Run a full shift independently.
• Supervise Champions to ensure achievement of outbound KPIs: customer orders to be shipped by 5pm daily.
• Adhere to and enforce SLA compliance.
• Ensure picking and packing productivity meets company targets.
• Manage labour cost: control heads on shift vs volumes and hours.
• Control packing costs and usage on the floor.
• Maintain housekeeping standards and motivate the team to keep areas within standards.
• Set clear goals for each individual and ensure understanding of their goals.
• Apply company values to daily tasks.
• Achieve operating targets within budget controlled and phased accordingly.
• Enrich safety, social systems, and systems entrenched.

Minimum Requirements

• Grade 12 National Senior Certificate.
• Supply Chain or Logistics higher certificate is preferred.
• 3–5 years supervisory experience in logistics or distribution environment.
• People management experience, good oral and written communication skills.
• Decision making and problem solving ability.
• Ability to manage change within a logistics operation.
• Commit and achieve targets and project timelines.
• Willing to work shifts including weekends if necessary in an operational 7/365 environment.
• Self‑starter with high energy levels – a must.
• Must be able to work as part of a multi‑cultural team.

Attributes

• Experts at DOING: they can not only design but also execute.
• Analytical: use data to make decisions, letting data decide but not consume.
• Technical knowledge.
• Hands on and action oriented.
• Curious and question the status quo.
• Review internal processes and continuously iterate and innovate to improve the department continuously.
• Not averse to risk.
• Business smart.
• Able to think about problems from a business perspective using technical and product input.
• Self‑directed, taking action based on own initiative.
• Able to communicate clearly and not afraid to voice an opinion, no matter how unpopular.

Environment

• We like to work hard but also enjoy ourselves. We love what we do and what we are creating.
• You must possess a sense of urgency with the ability to manage multiple duties simultaneously with various deadlines.
• Employees are entrepreneurial and dynamic, smart, customer‑centric, fun, and share the ambition of being the leading e‑commerce company in Africa.
• We have fun, work hard, take ownership, work in teams to create solutions, and are always open to direct feedback or new ideas on where we can improve.
• We are short on ego and high on output.
• We are doers and not only thinkers; it’s all in the execution after all.
• We love what we do and what we are creating.
• We seek to employ an Extra Ordinary Mind who is Smart, has Integrity, and is Hardworking.

Hours

• Shift work when required.
• Candidates must be flexible to work weekends and/or overtime regularly.
