What you’ll do:
As a Shift Manager, you will lead, engage, and inspire a large multi-functional team, including other leaders. You will act as a role model and encourage, empower, and trust your team to deliver results. You will work in a highly unionised environment, understand the importance of health and safety, and the benefits of building positive, mutually beneficial relationships with key stakeholders and third-party logistics teams. You’ll work collaboratively to manage all warehouse activities on your shift across multiple functions to optimise processes and capability.
We’ll also rely on you to bring a leadership approach that promotes an inclusive culture, leading to high levels of trust that drives high-performing teams whilst meeting targets. You’ll enhance the way people and teams work together with clear lines of accountability and implement an action-oriented and continuous improvement way of working.
Who you are:
You’re an experienced senior leader who believes in visible leadership, rolling up your sleeves to get the job done if that is what it takes. You will have had exposure to a unionised environment as you will be required to work collaboratively to implement change. Your hands-on style will be about empowerment, not micro-management, and you’ll be aware that a role like this focuses on people and treating them inclusively so that they can enjoy what they do. With experience of working in large-scale operations, this is a great opportunity for an individual who wants to progress.
While having logistics knowledge is desirable within fast-moving consumer goods, we know working in a large retail role you may have transferable skills that could be just what we are looking for. Previous transport experience could also be advantageous.
