Joining us as a Warehouse Team Manager in our Local Fulfilment Centre (LFC), is an opportunity to make a significant impact on our customers' experience. As a leader, you'll play a crucial role in creating a culture where colleagues thrive and deliver exceptional service. You'll have the chance to develop and inspire a diverse team, driving engagement, whilst living our values. With a focus on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement, you'll have the autonomy to make decisions that positively impact business results. In our fast-paced and collaborative environment, we value inclusivity, diversity, and the well-being of our team members. Join us and be a part of a team that embraces change, fosters growth, and prioritises delivering outstanding results while ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency.

What you'll do

Your primary responsibility will be to deliver exceptional service to our customers by leading a team within the LFC warehouse function. You'll focus on upholding legal and budgetary requirements while ensuring the highest level of customer satisfaction through agreed SLAs. Leading by example, you'll foster engagement and uphold our values within your team, maintaining open and effective communication. Your customer-centric approach will prioritise the needs of the customer in all operational activities and decision-making processes. Managing and coaching your colleagues, you'll drive their performance towards achieving targets and collaborate with other colleagues within the LFC to deliver site results.
