Job summary

RunThrough, the UK's biggest running event company, is seeking a Logistics Manager North based in Manchester. You’ll lead the northern warehouse team, own packing lists, rota, stock, and fleet, and work closely with Event Project Managers and the Workforce Manager across 150 events in 2027.

You’ll bring proven warehouse or logistics leadership, strong stock control, supplier negotiation, and a calm, organised approach under tight timelines. Full UK driving licence required.

Qualifications

• Experience running a warehouse or logistics operation, ideally for events, festivals, sport or other live operations.
• A confident manager who can lead a small warehouse team and a busy rota.
• Strong stock control, ordering and supplier negotiation.
• Knowledge of fleet management and warehouse health and safety.
• Practical, organised and calm when timelines are tight.
• A full UK driving licence.

Responsibilities

• Lead the northern warehouse team and set the standard for how kit is packed, loaded, returned and checked.
• Own the warehouse rota so every event is packed, loaded and unpacked on time — especially in the packing weeks either side of our busiest weekends.
• Keep the warehouse safe, organised and compliant.
• Build and own the packing list for every event, working from each event's plan with its Event Project Manager.
• Make sure every event gets the infrastructure and equipment it needs, in the right condition, and that it all comes back accounted for.
• Stock, fleet and purchasing
• Own stock control: what we have, where it is and what state it's in, with reorders placed before anything runs out.
• Plan and place orders for infrastructure and equipment, and negotiate with suppliers — working with our Procurement Manager once in post.
• Manage the fleet: vans, servicing, legal compliance and availability.
• Plan each event's logistics with its Event Project Manager well ahead of race day.
• Work with the Workforce Manager so warehouse staff are kept free of event work in the busiest packing weeks.
• Report on kit, stock, fleet and spend, and use the numbers to fix problems before they reach an event.
• Improve our logistics systems and processes so they scale as events grow, alongside the Logistics Manager South.
