Warehouse Manager

Are you an experienced Warehouse Manager who has led transformation projects - for example a site move, systems upgrade, or maybe both?

This company is a market-leading supplier to the funeral industry, distributing products across the UK and internationally.

They are preparing to move into a brand-new, purpose-built facility on the outskirts of Worthing, West Sussex and due to be up and running by May 2027.

Centralising operations from several sheds into one state-of-the-art distribution centre is a pivotal moment for the business, and you could drive this transition!

New layouts, workflows, processes and also a systems upgrade of the WMS/ERP (Microsoft Business Central) requires a skilled Warehouse Manager to lead this project.

Salary up to £50,000 plus performance and sales-related bonus scheme and generous holiday entitlement. 40 hours per week, 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (some flex required, of course).

Here's the important bits:

• You will guide the warehouse team (approx 20) through the move from the existing site to launching the new facility
• You'll ensure there is no disruption to service, and work towards KPI's relating to dispatch performance and stock accuracy
• You will maintain robust QC routines, ISO14001 environmental standards, and rigorous H&S compliance
• Ideally you'll have hands on proficiency with WMS/ERP systems (Microsoft Business Central strongly preferred)
• You will have led warehouse transformation projects before, and have practical knowledge of space planning, stock control, process design, etc.

The time-critical and emotionally-sensitive nature of the products mean that precision, reliability, and service are key. If you're ready to lead an exciting operational transition, then apply today!
