Are you a confident, grounded and resilient leader who thrives in a complex, fast-moving environment? We're recruiting for a Warehouse Manager to take ownership of two fine art warehouse sites — based primarily in Ware, with regular travel to Royston — leading the teams, driving operational excellence, and championing safety and standards across both locations.
This is a genuine leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys coaching and developing people as much as they enjoy solving operational problems, working closely with Senior Leadership, Projects, Transport, Customs and Shipping to deliver an exceptional service to high-value clients.
The Role
You'll take full strategic and operational oversight of both sites — inventory, space, workflow, people and Health & Safety — building a culture of accountability, ownership and continuous improvement across your teams.
Key responsibilities:
- Oversee the day-to-day operation of two warehouse sites, ensuring safe, efficient and high-performing environments
- Lead, coach and develop your teams — including mentoring existing supervisors and warehouse staff — building accountability, professionalism and teamwork
- Manage workforce planning, resource allocation and operational priorities to hit business requirements and project deadlines
- Own warehouse processes end-to-end, identifying opportunities to improve productivity, accuracy and service delivery
- Manage goods in, goods out, inventory movements and location control through accurate digital systems
- Lead inventory audits and stock accuracy, investigating discrepancies and implementing corrective action
- Optimise warehouse layout, space utilisation and future capacity planning
- Ensure artworks and high-value assets are stored, handled and protected to the highest standards
- Act as Health & Safety ambassador across both sites — promoting a proactive safety culture and ensuring full compliance with policy, procedure and legislation
- Oversee incoming and outgoing shipments, resolving operational issues and ensuring exceptional service delivery
- Work flexibly and travel regularly across both warehouse locations as required
