Derby, United Kingdom GXO Logistics Full time

Are you a proven leader looking to ‘Breakaway’ from your current role? Are you a ‘Smartie’ looking to join a company where you’ll constantly be challenged to grow and develop your skills? We’re sure you would give your last ‘Rolo’ for this role

GXO is currently seeking a driven and talented individual for the role of Operations Manager to join our Nestle contract, based at our flagship site based at East Midlands Gateway. You’ll be responsible for managing the operational requirements within a fast-paced logistics environment, ensuring that the business surpasses customer expectations, efficiently and cost effectively, whilst also ensuring that this is a great place to work.

This is a full time, permanent position where you’ll predominantly work Monday to Friday 8.30am – 4.30pm. However, you will need to be flexible to cover other operations managers who work on a 4 on 4 off shift pattern (days or nights) on occasion – this is logistics after all

Pay, benefits and more:

You’ll be paid a salary of up to £38,569 per annum, depending upon experience. You’ll also receive 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance. Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, private medical and dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. 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:

  • Day to day management of the operation, taking responsibility for all aspects of staff performance, including accuracy and process compliance
  • Lead, coach and develop your team; responsible for all people processes during the lifecycle of an employee
  • Identify areas of improvement within the relevant operational processes and manage operational constraints
  • Control costs and embrace a culture of continuous improvement, constantly looking for cost saving initiatives
  • Develop strong and trusting relationships with the customer, your team and other managers

What you need to succeed at GXO:

  • Previous experience at a minimum of Shift Manager level, within a large, fast-paced warehousing environment
  • The ability to effectively lead, coach and develop your team, whilst identifying areas for development and recognising success
  • Strong communication skills, engaging your team and developing relationships with other stakeholders, including the customer directly
  • Excellent planning, organisational and problem-solving skills, to support change management and continuous improvement on site
