• Driving effective use of ERP and warehouse management systems.
• Working closely with colleagues, suppliers and logistics partners to ensure efficient customer delivery.
• Supporting future warehouse capacity planning and operational development.
• Ensuring strong health, safety and quality standards are maintained throughout the operation.

We’re particularly interested in people with:

• Warehouse and distribution management experience.
• Experience leading and developing warehouse teams.
• Strong inventory management and warehouse systems knowledge.
• ERP and/or WMS experience.
• Experience supporting e-commerce or high-volume customer fulfilment operations.
• A continuous improvement mindset and a track record of implementing positive change.
• Strong communication skills and an ability to build engagement within teams.

Why Join?

• Work with established consumer brands that have been trusted for generations.
• Join a business that continues to invest in growth and operational improvement.
• Enjoy genuine ownership and autonomy within your role.
• Make a visible impact on processes, performance and culture.
• Lead a close-knit team where your contribution will be recognised.
