We're an award-winning, market-leading 3PL specialising in high-quality order fulfilment and delivery services. ILG customers are premium brands, many in the beauty, fashion and wellbeing sectors. Our mission is to help them succeed.

  • Conducting regular briefings and ensure effective communications with the Operational Team
  • Communicating issues and information to the Warehouse Manager such as delivery schedules, warehouse accuracy and general queries
  • Conducting one to one meetings with team members to review performance and development
  • Recognising training needs and providing solutions to ensure team members have the required knowledge for their role
  • Actively supporting operational change whilst minimising disruption to production and service
  • Supporting the Warehouse Manager as and when required


What we are looking for

  • Previous experience in a managerial role in a warehouse operation
  • Ability to coordinate daily activities and delegate within a team whilst remaining operationally hands-on
  • A methodical approach and the ability to prioritise workload and tasks
  • Ability to react within a complex and growing operational environment
  • Experience of handling disciplinary and sickness absence cases
  • An understanding of 3EX.Net warehouse management system and MS office packages (Excel, Word, Outlook)
