Shift Pattern:

The Role
As a Lead Customer Operations Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading and developing a Customer Operations Manager (COM) to take ownership and accountability to deliver results across a balanced scorecard, whilst deploying significant transformational changes. You’ll be the point of contact for external stakeholders and hold the responsibility through delegation, coaching and support to ensure the COM completes tasks to time and quality, delivering the scorecard performance. You’ll produce the weekly resourcing plan and ensure the COM delivers towards this. Leading on safety will be key, ensuring the COM completes their safety tasks and the unit’s specific PIC tasks are accomplished, alongside confirming the COM is managing the fleet and the unit hits overall targets.
Furthermore, you’ll also have full accountability for your Delivery team. You’ll work through the morning and into the afternoon and ensure the smooth running of all deliveries. You'll lead and inspire a team of front-line colleagues to work efficiently and provide excellent service at the doorstep. Being a great leader means creating a positive and engaging work environment, promoting inclusivity, and being a role model by living our values. To ensure we reach our best with people management, resource planning and specialist project activity, you’ll also partner with Trade Union, taking the lead for the unit, to keep raising the bar as you coach your team to drive performance improvement. Delivering every item accurately and on time is crucial to who we are; you will play a major part in the trust customers have in us.
What You'll Get
We’re asking for a lot, but you’ll get a lot in return. First, there’s the 10% on-target bonus, generous holiday allowance, flexible working, pension scheme and an excellent parental leave policy. Then there are all the excellent benefits that come with your role, such as free health and wellbeing support for you and your family through our Help@Hand service and a private medical assessment. MyBundle provides benefits such as the Cycle2work scheme, and corporate discounts including retail vouchers, travel & attraction discounts, gym membership and more.
There are also all the exciting career opportunities that come with leading a team and driving key decisions in one of the UK’s largest employers. And that’s before we’ve even mentioned the great sense of pride you’ll feel from being part of one of the world’s most recognisable brands as we undergo a historic transformation, and transition from a letters business to a parcels business.
