THE ROLE

As a Lead Customer Operations Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading and developing a team of Customer Operations Managers (COM) to take ownership and accountability for delivering results across a scorecard, while implementing transformational changes.

You’ll be the main contact for external stakeholders and will delegate, coach, and support your team to ensure tasks are completed on time and to standard, achieving performance targets.

You’ll produce weekly resourcing plans and oversee their execution. Leading safety initiatives, managing fleet, and ensuring targets are met will be key responsibilities.

You’ll also hold full accountability for your Delivery team, ensuring smooth operations and excellent doorstep service. Creating a positive, inclusive work environment and embodying company values are essential.

ABOUT YOU

You’re looking for a role that delivers more. You’re community-focused, a team player, results-driven, and an inspiring leader.
