Altro - National Customer Operations Manager
Altro are looking for an experienced operational leader to take ownership of the UK's national order management function. You will be based at our Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire HQ, but will also have responsibility for teams based in Lowestoft, Suffolk and Maiden Newton, Dorset. The role known internally as the National Customer Operations Manager, is a permanent, hybrid working role (3 days a week in the office) with the requirement to travel to our other UK sites from time to time.
You'll be responsible for ensuring customer orders and quotations are processed accurately, efficiently and consistently, delivering an outstanding experience for our customers while supporting the commercial success of the business.
This is more than a customer service role. We're looking for someone who can think strategically, challenge existing ways of working and drive the future direction of our order management operation. You'll play a key role in shaping processes, improving performance, introducing automation and ensuring the function is ready to support future growth of the company.
Working closely with Commercial, Demand Planning, IT and Customer Insight teams, you'll turn business objectives into operational plans and lead continuous improvement initiatives that enhance both efficiency and customer experience.

- Holiday entitlement starts at 25 days (pro rata); if you need a little extra... you can buy some more.
- Company funded private medical via our provider BUPA.
- A defined contribution pension scheme available for all staff.
- Hopefully never needed, but from day one you will be covered by our life assurance scheme.
- Occupational Sick Pay and an onsite Occupational Health Service.
- Confidential 24-hour life management and personal support service for you and your family.
- Free eye tests are available for all employees.
- A paid day off each year to take part in our volunteering scheme.

- We offer long service awards to all our employees.
- Learning and Development - training and development support, no matter where you are in your career.
- A variety of social events across the group, including the company Christmas party.
- It might be a long way off but we know it’s not always easy to stop working so we provide advice and support to ease the transition to retirement.
