Key Responsibilities

Create a positive, high‑performing warehouse environment by providing visible motivating leadership to colleagues. Foster a culture where people feel safe, included, valued and supported to do their best work every day.
Plan and allocate labour effectively to maintain smooth operational flow. Make informed, real‑time decisions to balance service, productivity and cost as volumes and priorities shift throughout the day.
Use operational data to drive performance, tracking key KPIs such as service levels, accuracy, labour efficiency, safety and cost. Translate insights into action, identifying opportunities, resolving issues quickly and ensuring continuous improvement.
Develop and support colleagues through coaching and clear expectations. Hold regular performance and development conversations, address challenges proactively and empower colleagues to grow in their roles.
Build an engaging and inclusive workplace culture by listening to colleague feedback, acting on insights and working collaboratively with the team to turn ideas into meaningful lasting improvements.
Maintain clear and consistent communication, delivering team briefings, effective 1:1 discussions and open day‑to‑day updates that keep colleagues aligned, informed and motivated.
Lead the operation confidently during peak demand, change and fluctuating volumes by using strong planning, calm decision‑making and effective organisation to maintain high performance even under pressure.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

We’re looking for someone who isn’t just great at managing people but genuinely loves bringing out the best in a team. Here’s what will help you thrive in this role:

Ideally, you’ve worked in 3PL or multi‑client environments and understand how service levels and client expectations shape a successful operation.
You’ve already managed or supervised teams in a fast‑paced environment and know how to inspire people to hit operational and productivity targets.
You’re full of ideas, love sharing knowledge and encourage your team to do the same. You create space for feedback, innovation and continuous improvement.
Hitting targets, meeting client requirements and staying compliant is all part of your rhythm, you know how to get it right the first time.
You understand the numbers behind the operation, from labour costs to P&L and how everyday decisions can boost (or dent!) site performance.
You know how crucial health & safety and compliance are in a warehouse environment. Risk awareness, incident management and keeping everyone safe is second nature to you, and you lead by example.

Benefits

At Advanced, your journey begins with a warm welcome and a comprehensive onboarding experience designed to set you up for success from day one. But it doesn’t stop there—we’re committed to your continuous growth, offering ongoing training and development to help you sharpen your skills and reach your full potential.

And because we love celebrating our people, you’ll get your birthday off, completely on us – enjoy your special day, work‑free!

We believe that family matters, our enhanced maternity package offers six months of full pay, giving you the time and peace of mind to focus on your growing family. New dads and partners also receive two weeks full paternity pay, so you can be there for those important first moments.

Planning for your future has never been easier—or more rewarding. Through our salary sacrifice pension scheme, meaning you pay less tax overall, while still investing in your future.
