About The Job
Games Workshop has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Shift Manager to join our Distribution team where you will manage teams on individual shifts on a rotating basis. Our finished goods distribution centre is based at East Midlands Gateway, which distributes our products across multiple channels both domestically and around the world.
Passionate about people, and with a focus on skills and development, you’ll understand that our people are our biggest asset and we’ll look to you to ensure that your teams have the required knowledge, skills, and resources to thrive. You’ll recognise the importance of having the right people, in the right place, at the right time as you plan to ensure all shifts are effectively staffed and have appropriate management support for each shift.
We’ll see you working collaboratively across departments, as you build effective working relationships across the supply chain to achieve our goals, always being cost effective, efficient. Day to day, you’ll champion a safe culture as you drive health and safety priorities and you’ll coordinate with the Training Manager to ensure essential training is delivered to all staff and all standard operating procedures are followed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a fast-paced business environment with different technologies. If you have experience of managing or supervising teams and knowledge of automation systems to support consistent and successful monitoring of daily picking, packing, and shipping efficiencies, then we want to hear from you!
