We are recruiting an Operations Manager on behalf of a fast-growing e-commerce business based in Chelmsford. This is a newly created role reporting directly to the founding directors.
The Role
You will take ownership of the end-to-end operational function, fulfilment, customer service, inventory management and carrier performance, managing the Warehouse Manager and wider operational teams.
This business runs a busy in-house fulfilment operation with significant seasonal peaks, and the warehouse floor is at the heart of it. This is not a desk-based role.
