Warehouse Manager
Food Manufacturing
Leicestershire
Monday to Friday | £60,000
There are plenty of people who can keep a warehouse running.
There are fewer who can walk into a growing business, look at what’s working (and what isn’t), and build a warehouse operation that’s ready for the next stage of growth.
That’s exactly what this role is about.
We’re working with a highly successful food manufacturing business in Leicestershire that has grown significantly over recent years and has ambitious plans for the future.
With continued investment into people, processes and systems, they’re now looking for a Warehouse Manager who can bring leadership, structure and continuous improvement to their outbound operation.
This isn’t a role where you simply inherit a process and keep things ticking along.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of the warehouse function, define what good looks like and build an operation capable of supporting further growth.

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.

- Driving improvements across warehouse processes, efficiency and cost control
