Team Manager – Warehouse

Salary: £31,499 per year

Online retail has never been more important than it is now. In a year of constant change and unprecedented times, Next Distribution’s continued success is dependent on the expertise, passion and adaptability of the teams across our distribution network.

If you’re a passionate, hands-on manager, love never knowing what the day will bring, and feel exhilarated working under pressure and to tight deadlines then this could be the Next step for you.

We are looking for a highly motivated Team Manager to join the team at our Doncaster site working Friday – Tuesday.

Life as a Team Manager at Next is full of challenges, it’s fast paced and just like fashion trends is constantly evolving. We look after over 2 million customers; it takes a large, talented and efficient distribution operation to make that happen.

Running a team of around 25 Warehouse Operatives, it’s your job to make sure that every item is perfectly selected, packed, distributed and has the devoted care and attention that our customers have come to expect from our brand over the years. Our largest distribution centre processes up to 600,000 units per day to our retail stores and to our customers doors which is by no means straightforward.

You will be used to working with different characters and understand what motivates individuals to be the best that they can be. You will drive your team to perform to the highest standards monitoring absence, productivity performance and errors. You will also be identifying ways to keep them on track and focused to achieve their bonus.

Essential Skills

Our Warehouses are large, fast paced 24-hour operations so there will often be a need for you act independently and to think on your feet. Your expertise is valued and as a Team Manager, you will need to search out solutions.

By drawing upon your previous management experience, you will demonstrate your ability to make sound operational decisions, often under pressure.

Desirable Skills

We recognise the key to our success is our people. Through our internal training programmes, we provide continuous development opportunities to help refresh your current management abilities and to realise your career ambitions. Our current population of Assistant Site Managers have been promoted through our management programmes and many of our Site Managers too!
