- Planning and coordinating daily activity across picking, packing, loading, goods-in and wider operational support.
- Communicating clearly across the operation and helping to build an engaged, motivated team.
- Keeping accurate records and ensuring operational standards are consistently met.
- Delivering against all warehouse KPIs.
- Bringing a continuous improvement mindset – spotting inefficiencies and helping to drive positive change.

- A proven ability to maximise team productivity and hit targets.
- Strong organisational and administration skills, with the ability to problem-solve in a fast-moving environment.

- Customer-focused, driven and comfortable working to tight deadlines.
- Computer literate, including Excel, Outlook and warehouse management systems (WMS).
