Role: Permanent – Full time
Overview
We are recruiting for a Depot Manager to take ownership of a modern, well-invested site in Nuneaton. This Depot Manager role leads a small, established operation with circa 20 frontline colleagues and a lean support team, so it’s a highly visible leadership position where you set standards, drive performance and build a great culture.
This role is under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) due to the confidential nature of the search. Full details will be shared once an NDA is in place.
If you’re a people-focused leader from logistics, distribution, FMCG, warehousing, or retail operations, this is a brilliant opportunity to step into an operations Manager role with real ownership and impact.
Ideal Candidate
- Proven people leadership in a fast-paced environment (logistics, distribution, warehousing, FMCG, retail ops or similar)
- A hands-on leader who engages teams, raises standards, and creates a positive, high-performance culture
- Comfortable owning day-to-day operational delivery with a lean on-site structure (you’re the visible lead)
- Calm, organised, and performance-driven (bonus-led environment)
- Open-minded and adaptable — strong leadership behaviours matter most
