What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Be responsible for a team in any one of our key operational areas, playing a key role in achieving our daily targets and KPIs, striving with your team to achieve a best-on-class operation.
• You will use your people skills to have great conversations with your team on performance-related issues and you will be comfortable in having these 121-discussions understanding how to get the best from your teams whilst supporting them and recognising great individual performance.
• You will have a great understanding of warehouse management systems and will use your skills to keep your team working efficiently and effectively.
• With your keen eye for detail, you will be comfortable completing, maintaining, and improving shift reports relating to people, performance, and regulatory compliance.

• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with a friendly and approachable manner.
• Experience managing conflicting priorities, with the ability to plan and organise a warehouse operation.
