• Brief the shift on daily targets, operational priorities, and safety callouts at the start of every shift.
• Manage shift attendance, cover, and real-time floor allocations to maintain full operational capacity.
• Coach team members on standard operating procedures, quality standards, and correct handling techniques.
• Foster a positive, collaborative team culture that drives accountability and strong work ethic on the floor.
• Receive, break down, and process incoming inventory and customer returns.
• Route processed goods directly to internal destination areas like Appraisals and Marketplace.
• Safely lift and move stock boxes (up to 30kg) and transport stock cages throughout the facility.
• Maintain clean, efficient pathways and organized staging areas across the warehouse.
• Monitor shift output and identify practical ways to improve sorting and breakdown speed and accuracy.
• Keep staging areas and inventory pathways clear to streamline inter-departmental transfers.
• Uphold safe lifting practices and warehouse health and safety guidelines.
• Ensure stock control procedures and inventory logs are accurately maintained.

What You’ll Bring

• Previous experience in a team lead, supervisor, or team lead role within a warehouse or logistics setting.
• Experience conducting 1-on-1 performance catch-ups, supporting individual development, and handling day-to-day team queries and conduct on shift.
• Demonstrated ability to coach, motivate, and direct operational teams to hit daily shift targets.
• Strong decision-making, communication, and problem-solving skills under fast-paced operational pressure.
• Experience managing inventory flow, stock allocation, and floor safety guidelines.
• Experience using inventory management systems or warehouse scanning tools.
• Exposure to continuous improvement techniques or lean warehouse processes.
