Warehouse Manager

Are you an experienced Warehouse Manager who has led transformation projects - for example a site move, systems upgrade, or maybe both?

This company is a market-leading supplier to the funeral industry, distributing products across the UK and internationally.

They are preparing to move into a brand-new, purpose-built facility on the outskirts of Worthing, West Sussex and due to be up and running by May 2027.

Centralising operations from several sheds into one state-of-the-art distribution centre is a pivotal moment for the business, and you could drive this transition!

New layouts, workflows, processes and also a systems upgrade of the WMS/ERP (Microsoft Business Central) requires a skilled Warehouse Manager to lead this project.

Salary up to £50,000 plus performance and sales-related bonus scheme and generous holiday entitlement. 40 hours per week, 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (some flex required, of course).

Here's the important bits:

You will guide the warehouse team (approx 20) through the move from the existing site to launching the new facility

You'll ensure there is no disruption to service, and work towards KPI's relating to dispatch performance and stock accuracy

You will maintain robust QC routines, ISO14001 environmental standards, and rigorous H&S compliance

Ideally you'll have hands on proficiency with WMS/ERP systems (Microsoft Business Central strongly preferred)

You will have led warehouse transformation projects before, and have practical knowledge of space planning, stock control, process design, etc.The time-critical and emotionally-sensitive nature of the products mean that precision, reliability, and service are key.
