Warehouse Operations Manager
£65K pro rata | 3-month FTC | Immediate Start | Onsite near Gatwick
We’re partnering with a high-growth 3PL business near Gatwick as they enter peak and they need a senior operational lead who can hit the ground running.
This is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role with strategic clout. You’ll be responsible for the full day-to-day warehouse operation - from B2C & B2B fulfilment to returns, staffing, standards and service - while also owning key projects that shape the future of the site.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading daily fulfilment ops across pick, pack, ship, returns and value-add
* Driving performance through team leadership, labour planning, and SLA control
* Owning the design and delivery of a new mezzanine floor, ensuring the space is configured for peak efficiency
* Supporting the onboarding of new clients, aligning processes and capacity with expectations
* Maximising use of the WMS (Mintsoft) and holding high standards of stock accuracy
* Keeping the warehouse clean, safe, efficient and reset for the next day - every day
This is more than just BAU. You’ll be shaping peak… and what comes after.
You’ll bring:
* 5–10 years of leadership in ecom or 3PL fulfilment environments
* Proven track record managing high-volume teams and warehouse change projects
* Strong understanding of warehouse design, layouts, flow and racking optimisation
* Confidence in customer onboarding and cross-functional collaboration
* A commercial mindset, operations toolkit, and sleeves-rolled-up style
Start date: ASAP
This is a 3-month fixed-term contract designed to get this business through peak and lay the groundwork for continued growth.
