Not every \"Operations Manager\" role is operational.
Some are meetings.
Some are spreadsheets.
Some are reporting to people who don't actually want change.
This isn't that.
This is a wholesale distribution business that needs someone to take control of the warehouse and delivery operation - properly.
You'll be responsible for:
* 10 warehouse staff
* 2 drivers
* The flow of stock in and out
* Couriers
* Costs
* Standards
* Efficiency
It's hands-on.
If something isn't working, you fix it.
If a process is clunky, you improve it.
If money is being wasted, you stop it.
But this isn't about cutting for the sake of cutting.
It's about knowing the difference between:
? Bad costs
?Good investment
If a £10k system saves £50k over two years, you back it.
If someone wants to spend money for the sake of it, you challenge it.
You'll need to be:
* Comfortable leading from the floor, not just the office
* Commercially aware
* Strong on warehouse and logistics control
* Calm but firm with standards
* Confident managing drivers and third-party couriers
* Solid on Health & Safety (IOSH / NEBOSH level understanding)
