Our core values drive everything we do. We believe in promoting a supportive environment for our colleagues, delivering exceptional service to our customers, contributing to the community, and working towards a more sustainable environment If you share these values and are passionate about making a positive impact, we'd love to have you on our team.

Are you passionate about building strong relationships and delivering exceptional service? We're looking for a motivated and customer focused Account Manager to join our dynamic team. This is full-time permanent position working on-site at our Sheffield site and in return you will receive a competitive salary of £30,000 - £34,000 along with a structured development plan that includes training, mentorship, and clear opportunities for career growth within our organisation.

You'll be the friendly, reliable voice our customers turn to - managing their expectations, keeping them in the loop on performance, and making sure their returns are handled quickly, accurately and without fuss. Behind the scenes, you'll work hand-in-hand with our Transport, Planning and Client Relationship teams to keep everything ticking along smoothly.

No two days will look the same: one minute you could be digging into the numbers behind a customer's returns performance, the next you're on the phone sorting a stock query or spotting a smarter way to do things.

• Being the main point of contact for your customers, building relationships that go beyond the transactional

• Keeping customers in the loop through regular meetings, site visits and calls

• Turning returns data into clear, useful monthly reports on performance, KPIs and trends

• Coordinating with Transport and logistics partners to keep returns moving smoothly, in and out

• Keeping stock records accurate and customers updated on where things stand

• Getting to the bottom of stock discrepancies and putting them right

• Making sure charges and invoicing are accurate and on time

• Spotting opportunities to grow and improve the service you offer

• Being a go-to source of support for colleagues on customer-specific returns queries

• Working with planning teams to keep returns volumes forecasted and on schedule

• Digging into trends to fix root causes, not just symptoms

• Keeping stock control watertight, from the moment goods arrive to final reconciliation

• Making sure everything you do stacks up against quality, environmental and regulatory standards

• Experience in a customer-facing role

• Confident with Microsoft Office and comfortable pulling data from IT systems

• A drive to hit KPIs, paired with a genuinely positive, can-do attitude

• A team player who's just as comfortable building relationships externally as internally

• Strong negotiation skills and the confidence to make decisions

• Sharp attention to detail and a clear, confident communicator

• Honesty, integrity, and a genuine empathy for the customer experience

It would also be great (but not essential) if you have:

• 3PL returns experience, ideally across a multi-client operation

• Experience in a customer service returns environment

• Warehouse returns process experience

• Familiarity with Warehouse Management System (WMS) solutions
