Job Title: Operations Manager
Location: Hybrid (Wetherby, UK / Home-based)
Reports to: Managing Director
Business: Really Cool Logistics
Who are we?
At Really Cool Logistics ), we specialise in temperature-controlled transport and storage solutions for the Food & Beverage and Pharmaceutical sectors. We are part of Viso Logistics, a UK-focused specialist logistics group that is growing fast through acquisitions and organic growth.
We run a high-performance fleet of vans, manage temperature-controlled warehouse facilities, and pride ourselves on delivering precision, reliability, and a genuine 'white-glove' service to delight our customers.
With our growth trajectory, this is a role with serious opportunity — you won't just be keeping things ticking over, you'll be shaping how we grow and make strides in the market.
About the Role
This is not your average desk job. As our Operations Manager, you'll be at the heart of our daily logistics engine — ensuring our vehicles, drivers, and warehouse operations run smoothly and efficiently, every single day.
You'll split your time between hands-on warehouse work and remote operational planning, giving you variety, flexibility, and the chance to make a real impact on our business performance.
What You'll Be Doing
* Schedule management: Create efficient daily route schedules that keep our clients happy and our operations running like clockwork.
* Driver management: Lead and support our team of employed and self-employed drivers, ensuring clear communication, smooth operations, and top-notch customer service.
* Fleet management: Assign vehicles, oversee compliance, and make sure every vehicle is fit for purpose and ready to roll.
* Warehouse management: Oversee the upkeep of our warehouse and fridge units, jumping in to load/unload when needed.
* Right-hand to the MD: Step up during holidays to manage customer communications and ensure the business doesn't miss a beat.
What We're Looking For
We want someone who's:
* A natural problem-solver who can think on their feet and find smart solutions fast.
* People-savvy with strong communication and team leadership skills — you know how to get the best from drivers, warehouse staff, and suppliers alike.
* Happy to flex – logistics doesn't always keep to 9–5, and neither do we. You'll embrace variety in your hours, knowing that this comes with the territory of keeping things moving.
* Calm under pressure, thriving in fast-paced situations where priorities can shift at a moment's notice.
* Professional and procedure-driven, with an eye for detail.
Experience & Qualifications:
* 3+ years in an operations role within logistics
* Temperature-controlled is a bonus, not a must
* Full UK driving licence
What's In It For You
* Real influence: Be a key player in one of the UK's fastest-growing logistics groups.
* Career growth: As we grow, so will your opportunities.
* Flexibility: Hybrid working with a mix of office, warehouse, and home-based work.
* Competitive salary: £25-30,000 + the chance to grow with us.
