You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme, and much more. You’ll also have access to our GXO University, which provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with. There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!
What you’ll do on a typical day:
1. Effectively manage your team of Operations Managers, understanding the challenges and successes they have on each shift and giving them all they need to manage their teams.
2. Liaise and build rapport with the customer to allow for collaborative working and the defining of shared goals and objectives.
