Job Description
Operations Manager
Yes! Logistics Solutions – Rugby, Warwickshire
The opportunity
Yes! Logistics Solutions is a growing, entrepreneurial logistics business with a reputation for flexibility, service and saying “yes” where others won’t. Backed by a strong parent group and investing for growth, the business is now looking to appoint an Operations Manager to take ownership of logistics operations at its Rugby site.
This is a hands-on leadership role, reporting directly to the Managing Director, with real scope to shape how the operation runs today and how it scales tomorrow.
The role
You will have end-to-end responsibility for warehouse fulfilment and storage operations on site, including pick & pack and bulk storage activities. The operation is currently small but growing, with new customer onboarding, process improvement and a WMS change already underway.
Key elements of the role include:
* Day-to-day leadership of the Rugby logistics operation
* Onboarding and stabilising new customers into the warehouse
* Driving process improvement, productivity and efficiency
* Supporting and embedding a new WMS implementation
* Improving control, visibility and consistency across stock and flows
* Leading, developing and growing the operational team as volumes increase
* Being visible and hands-on on the shop floor when required
This role has no responsibility for the wood packaging / case-making operation, which sits separately within the wider business.
The person
We are looking for a practical, commercially minded logistics professional who enjoys being close to the operation and making things better.
You are likely to have:
* Experience managing a single-site warehouse or distribution operation
* Strong exposure to pick & pack, fulfilment and stock accuracy
* A track record of customer onboarding and operational change
* Confidence working with WMS and warehouse IT systems
* A hands-on leadership style with genuine team spirit
* Ambition to grow with a developing business rather than sit in a rigid structure
Background in large, heavily automated or highly corporate environments is not essential; attitude, adaptability and mindset matter more.
Why join Yes! Logistics?
* A growing business with clear ambition and investment behind it
* Direct access to, and support from, an engaged Managing Director
* The chance to shape and grow a logistics operation, not just inherit one
* A role that can develop in scope and responsibility as the business expands
* A down-to-earth, people-focused culture with short decision lines
Location: Rugby – this is a site-based role, Monday to Friday. Candidates must live within a reasonable commuting distance.
