As we continue our rapid growth, we are looking for a commercially minded and operationally strong Warehouse Operations Manager to join our team. You’ll be responsible for running the day-to-day warehouse operation, managing client SLAs, leading teams, and driving a culture of continuous improvement.

Role Overview

This role is ideal for an experienced logistics professional with a strong understanding of warehouse operations, 3PL relationships, warehouse systems (WMS), and performance reporting. You’ll work cross-functionally with internal teams and external partners to ensure operational excellence, client satisfaction, and efficient use of resources across the warehouse.

Key Responsibilities

Warehouse Operations

• Lead and oversee daily warehouse functions including inbound, outbound, putaway, replenishment, inventory control, and returns.
• Ensure all warehouse activities are completed in line with agreed SLAs, with a focus on accuracy, speed, and safety.
• Ensure compliance with all health & safety policies, industry standards, and internal SOPs.
• Manage peak season planning, shift structures, and workforce allocation to ensure operational readiness.
  
  

Team Management & Leadership

3PL & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Serve as the key operational contact for third-party logistics (3PL) providers, driving service quality and accountability.
• Work closely with internal departments (Client Success, Inventory, Tech, and Commercial) to ensure smooth coordination and client delivery.
• Act as a point of escalation for operational queries or issues affecting client experience or delivery performance.
  
  

System Optimisation & WMS Oversight

• Utilise your strong understanding of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) to optimise workflows and improve system adoption.
• Work with internal tech teams to configure, test, and continuously improve WMS performance and reporting functions.
• Ensure that all warehouse team members are trained effectively on WMS use, scanning, and system processes.
  
  

Project Management & Client Onboarding

• Lead operational setup for new client onboarding, including warehouse layout planning, packaging processes, SLAs, and reporting structures.
• Support project delivery for warehouse expansion, automation, or service diversification initiatives.
• Liaise with clients during onboarding and change management phases to ensure a seamless operational setup.
  
  

Performance Monitoring & Reporting

• Build and maintain clear KPI dashboards and reports across picking, packing, shipping, productivity, labour, and order accuracy.
• Monitor warehouse capacity, space utilisation, and cost per order metrics to inform planning and budgeting.
• Use data to identify underperformance and implement corrective actions to improve operational output and customer service.
  
  

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to optimise processes, reduce manual touchpoints, and improve productivity.
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement, with clear action plans and measurable outcomes.
• Drive cost-efficiency initiatives without compromising service or quality.
