Job description
The Company:
If you’re the kind of leader who prefers to be on the floor rather than behind a desk , spotting issues early, coaching teams in real time, and making operations run better every day, this is a role where you can genuinely make your mark.
We’re partnering with a major food distribution business undergoing a pivotal period of change. With significant investment, evolving systems, and ambitious growth plans, this is an opportunity to step into a role where your impact will be seen quickly, not just in performance metrics, but in culture and capability.
The Role:
You’ll take ownership of a 24/7 warehouse operation, leading from the front to deliver safe, efficient, and high-performing operations. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on embedding consistency, improving planning, and building a more proactive, forward-thinking team.
Key focus areas include:
• Driving performance across safety, service, inventory accuracy, and cost control
• Leading and developing operational and admin teams, raising capability and confidence levels
• Creating a more structured, consistent way of working across shifts in a 24/7 environment
• Embedding a culture of continuous improvement and forward planning — particularly in preparation for peak trading periods
• Acting as a visible, present leader within the warehouse, supporting teams in real time
The Person:
What We’re Looking For
• Proven warehouse or logistics leadership experience in fast-paced environments
• Strong operationally with the ability to balance people, process, and performance
• A leader who develops teams, builds accountability, and drives cultural change
• Confidence working with warehouse systems and performance metrics
• The resilience and pace required for customer-driven, time-sensitive operations
Why This Role?
This is more than a “steady-state” management role. You’ll help shape the future of the operation, improving standards, building capability, and leaving a lasting impact. For the right person, it offers real autonomy and the chance to be part of a wider transformation journey.
