Site General Manager Logistics Warehousing Operational Leadership
Let’s be honest.
This is not a role for someone who likes sitting in meetings all day talking about "strategy" while the operation burns quietly in the background.
This business needs a proper operational leader.
Someone who can walk a warehouse floor and spot inefficiencies before the reports do. Someone commercially aware enough to understand the numbers behind the operation. Someone who can challenge, improve, influence and lead from the front without creating chaos every five minutes.
If you thrive in fast-paced logistics environments, genuinely enjoy building high-performing teams and know how to balance customer expectations with operational reality, this could be a seriously exciting opportunity.
The Role
You’ll take full responsibility for a large-scale logistics and warehousing operation with accountability across operational performance, customer delivery, commercial performance, people leadership and continuous improvement.
This is a hands-on senior leadership role where visibility, credibility and decision-making matter.
You’ll be trusted to run the operation properly - not micromanaged from the sidelines.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Leading the overall warehouse and logistics operation
* Driving performance, productivity and operational efficiencies
* Managing P&L performance and site budgets
* Improving warehouse utilisation and operational profitability
* Building strong customer relationships and identifying growth opportunities
* Leading continuous improvement and operational change initiatives
* Reviewing and implementing new processes, systems and working practices
* Driving a positive Health & Safety culture across the site
* Managing stock control and operational accuracy
* Producing and analysing operational and financial reports
* Leading, developing and motivating management and operational teams
* Supporting succession planning and building long-term capability within the operation
* Working closely with stakeholders across operations, finance and customers
What You’ll Need
* Strong experience leading large warehouse and logistics operations
* Proven experience managing fast-paced operational environments
* Strong commercial awareness with P&L responsibility
* Experience driving operational improvement and change management
* Excellent leadership and people management skills
* Strong customer relationship management experience
* Ability to challenge processes and improve efficiencies
* Strong reporting and analytical capability
* Confidence using Excel and operational systems
* A calm, credible and solutions-focused leadership style
What We Are Looking For
Not a "manager" in title only. They need someone who can genuinely lead people, challenge standards, improve performance and create accountability without destroying morale in the process. Someone commercially switched on. Someone operationally credible. Someone who understands that culture, customer service and profitability all have to work together.
What You Might Not Like
This is not a quiet operation. There will be pressure. There will be moving parts. There will be difficult conversations. There will be expectations. But for the right person, there is genuine opportunity to make an impact, influence change and build something properly.
