At DHL Supply Chain, we don't just move products – we power some of the UK's most recognisable brands to deliver for their customers every single day. We're now looking for a General Manager to take full ownership of a large, complex and high-performing warehouse operation, leading from the front in a fast-paced, multi-customer environment where no two days are the same.
This is a role for a proven leader who thrives on scale, challenge, and impact. You'll be trusted to run the site as your own – shaping the culture, strengthening customer relationships, and driving operational excellence across a 350,000 sq ft facility. With a strong, established team already in place and ambitious plans ahead, this is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role within one of the world's leading logistics providers.
A TYPICAL DAY MAY INVOLVE
- Leading the end-to-day warehouse operation across inbound, storage, picking, packing, and dispatch within a large-scale, multi-user facility
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with key customers ensuring consistently high CXM scores and service delivery
- Driving operational performance across a 350,000 sq ft site, balancing productivity, cost, and service across multiple customer contracts
- Engaging, coaching, and leading a well-established team of 450+ colleagues, creating a high-performance and safety-first culture
- Navigating the complexities of an Upper Tier COMAH environment, ensuring compliance, risk management, and safe operational practices
- Leading commercial activities such as pay negotiations and aligning operational delivery with contractual expectations
- Managing change and peak planning (including site integrations and seasonal spikes), ensuring stability through periods of disruption
