Our client is a fast-growing logistics, fulfilment and technology group serving a portfolio of B2B customers - from scaling D2C brands through to established multi-channel businesses. They combine operational excellence with AI-driven technology to help their customers grow, and they're now investing in their Customer Operations function as the business continues to scale globally.
This is a hands-on, floor-based operational leadership role embedded directly within the warehouse environment - not a desk-bound, behind-the-scenes position. You'll lead and evolve the Customer Operations function, build a high-performing team, and work side-by-side with Warehouse Operations, Tech, Continuous Improvement and Customer Experience to deliver fast, confident, solutions-focused support for B2B customers.
If you thrive in fast-paced operational environments, lead from the front, and enjoy building both teams and systems, this is one to look at.
Note: the role is predominantly on-site given the warehouse-based nature of the work.
