Job Description:

Not every “Operations Manager” role is operational.

Some are meetings.Some are spreadsheets.Some are reporting to people who don’t actually want change.

This isn’t that.

This is a wholesale distribution business that needs someone to take control of the warehouse and delivery operation – properly.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • 10 warehouse staff
  • 2 drivers
  • The flow of stock in and out
  • Couriers
  • Costs
  • Standards
  • Efficiency

It’s hands-on.

If something isn’t working, you fix it.If a process is clunky, you improve it.If money is being wasted, you stop it.

But this isn’t about cutting for the sake of cutting.

It’s about knowing the difference between:

? Bad costs?Good investment

If a £10k system saves £50k over two years, you back it.

If someone wants to spend money for the sake of it, you challenge it.

You’ll need to be:

  • Comfortable leading from the floor, not just the office
  • Commercially aware
  • Strong on warehouse and logistics control
  • Calm but firm with standards
  • Confident managing drivers and third-party couriers
  • Solid on Health & Safety (IOSH / NEBOSH level understanding)
