Operations & Fulfilment Team Leader

Retail, Warehouse & eCommerce | Batley | 9-Month Fixed-Term Contract

Batley | Monday to Friday | 36 Hours Per Week | No Weekends

Are you an experienced Team Leader looking for a fresh challenge where your leadership can make a real difference? 

Whether you've managed a busy retail store, led a warehouse operation, or overseen fulfilment teams, this is an exciting opportunity to join a respected charitable organisation that combines purpose with commercial success.

We're looking for an enthusiastic Operations & Fulfilment Team Leader to lead a dedicated warehouse and eCommerce team, ensuring products are processed efficiently and customers receive an exceptional service every time.

If you enjoy leading people, improving processes and making a positive impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join Us?

• Monday to Friday working – enjoy your evenings and weekends.
• A varied management role spanning warehouse, retail operations and eCommerce.
• The opportunity to lead, develop and inspire a committed team.
• Work for a well-respected charity where every day your work supports a meaningful cause.
• Be part of a collaborative organisation that encourages new ideas and continuous improvement.

The Role

As Operations & Fulfilment Team Leader, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day running of the warehouse and fulfilment operation, ensuring stock flows efficiently from donation through to retail stores and online customers.

You'll be responsible for creating an organised, productive and customer-focused environment while supporting your team to achieve outstanding results.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, coach and motivate warehouse and fulfilment teams to deliver exceptional performance.
• Oversee goods-in, stock processing, inventory control, picking, packing and dispatch operations.
• Ensure online customer orders are fulfilled accurately and delivered on time.
• Plan workloads and allocate resources to maximise efficiency.
• Monitor stock accuracy and maintain high operational standards.
• Analyse performance and identify opportunities to improve productivity and service.
• Champion health and safety, ensuring a safe working environment for all.
• Recruit, train, mentor and develop team members.
• Work closely with colleagues across retail and eCommerce to deliver an outstanding customer experience.

About You

You'll be an experienced leader who enjoys building high-performing teams and finding smarter ways of working.

You may currently be working as a:

• Operations Team Leader
• Warehouse Supervisor or Manager
• Fulfilment Manager
• Retail Store Manager
• Assistant Store Manager
• Distribution Team Leader
• Logistics Supervisor
• Stock & Inventory Manager

Most importantly, you'll have the ability to motivate people, manage change and keep operations running smoothly.

We're Looking For Someone Who Has:

• Experience leading teams in a warehouse, retail, logistics or fulfilment environment.
• Strong stock management and inventory control experience.
• Excellent organisational and planning skills.
• The confidence to make decisions and solve operational challenges.
• Strong communication and people management skills.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and stock management systems.
• A proactive mindset with a passion for continuous improvement.
• A genuine commitment to delivering exceptional customer service.

It Would Be Great If You Also Have:

• Experience within an eCommerce fulfilment operation.
• Knowledge of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).
• Experience managing volunteers or temporary staff.
• A track record of improving warehouse performance and efficiencies.

Working Hours

• Monday to Thursday: 8:00am – 4:15pm
• Friday: 8:00am – 4:00pm
• 36 hours per week
• 9-Month Fixed-Term Contract

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is far more than a warehouse team leader role. It's an opportunity to lead an operation that directly supports a charity's mission while developing your own leadership career in a collaborative and rewarding environment.

You'll have the autonomy to influence processes, develop your team, and help shape an efficient operation that makes a genuine difference to the community.
