The Opportunity

We're recruiting for a Warehouse Planning Manager to join a fast‑paced warehouse operation where planning genuinely drives performance.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys being close to the detail and working shoulder‑to‑shoulder with Operations to make plans work in practice, not just on paper.



Key Responsibilities

  • Own the daily and weekly warehouse planning cycle
  • Convert forecast demand into clear, achievable operational plans
  • Balance labour, capacity and space constraints to maintain consistent flow
  • Lead short‑term planning reviews, highlighting risks and trade‑offs early

  • Work closely with Warehouse Operations to align priorities and execution
  • Improve planning tools, processes and ways of working over time
  • Take full ownership of short‑term planning performance and outcomes


What We're Looking For

  • Strong experience in warehouse or operational planning within logistics or distribution
  • Good understanding of warehouse flow, labour planning, capacity and space
  • Confident user of WMS, ERP or planning systems
  • Comfortable in fast‑moving, changeable environments
  • A practical, delivery‑focused approach rather than theoretical planning


Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Operationally minded and commercially aware
  • Experience in Warehouse Planning
  • Clear communicator who can make decisions when constraints compete
  • Structured but pragmatic-keeps things simple and workable
  • Calm under pressure, particularly during peak periods
  • Collaborative, with the credibility to influence operational teams


Benefits

  • Pension Scheme
  • Health Cash Plan
  • Free Onsite Parking
  • Newly Refurbished Office
  • Colleague Discount
