• Collaborate cross‑functionally to resolve issues, improve communication, and ensure an exceptional customer experience.


• Drive structured improvement initiatives that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and team engagement.


• Maintain strict safety, compliance, and housekeeping standards across the shift.

About You

• Experienced people leader with a track record managing large teams in a fast‑paced warehouse, logistics, or fulfilment environment.

• Strong communicator who can engage, motivate, and influence at every level.


• Comfortable balancing hands‑on leadership with data‑driven performance management.


• A natural problem-solver with the resilience and drive to thrive in a high-growth operation.


• Experience in D2C / eCommerce fulfilment or exposure to Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) is advantageous.


• Forklift certification is beneficial but not essential.
