Summary

This is a key operational leadership role managing warehouse operations for a high-profile organic food customer within a transparent, open book 3PL contract environment.

The Contracts Operations Manager will have full responsibility for the day-to-day performance of the operation, ensuring safe, accurate, and efficient handling of fresh and ambient products supplying retail stores, pubs, wholesale customers, and e-commerce channels, often within short lead times.

This position offers a genuine opportunity for progression. The successful candidate will be developed to take on broader operational responsibility as part of a planned succession when the current Warehouse & Contracts Manager retires.

The role therefore suits an ambitious individual looking to step into a larger leadership position and play a meaningful role in shaping the future of the operation.

A key part of the role will be contributing to operational improvement and supporting the planned implementation of a warehouse management system, helping transition the operation from predominantly paper-based processes to more efficient digital workflows.

Skills, Knowledge, and Experience Essential:

* Experience in a warehouse supervisory or management role in a fast-paced environment.

* Experience leading teams and driving operational performance.

* Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.

* Understanding of stock control and accuracy principles.

* Good communication and stakeholder management skills.

* Confidence using operational systems and reporting tools.

Desirable:

* Experience in food, FMCG, or temperature-controlled environments.

* Experience working within a 3PL environment.

* Experience supporting or implementing warehouse management systems.

* Understanding of multi-channel fulfilment including e-commerce.
