Due to the existing DC Manager being promoted to cover EU operations, they need an experienced Distribution Centre &amp; Logistics Manager to take ownership of their St Ives operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">You&#8217;ll lead the day-to-day performance of the Distribution Centre, with five direct reports and a wider team of around 30.

You&#8217;ll also manage carrier and 3PL relationships, oversee budgets and costs, and work closely with the wider business to maintain excellent service levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">While the SAP implementation is taking place elsewhere in the business, your priority will be keeping the DC performing at its best. That means strong leadership, sound operational decisions and the ability to manage challenges without losing sight of the bigger picture. There&#8217;ll also be opportunities to drive improvements across productivity, processes, systems and customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\"><strong>What will you need?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;padding-left: 24px;margin: 4px 0px\">\n<li style=\"margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">Significant experience managing warehouse or distribution operations, ideally within a high-volume environment<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">Proven people leadership, including managing and developing supervisory or management teams<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">Strong WMS experience, ideally Manhattan, although comparable systems will be considered<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">Experience managing inventory, operational KPIs, labour, budgets and service performance<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">Exposure to transport, carriers and 3PL operations<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0px\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">A confident, organised and commercially aware approach to operational leadership<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">Experience of SAP, systems implementations or operational change would certainly be advantageous, although you won&#8217;t be responsible for delivering the SAP project itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">This is a fantastic opportunity to join a globally recognised business with an outstanding reputation, leading an established distribution operation during an important period for the organisation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\"><strong>We&#8217;re shortlisting now, so please apply today!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\"><strong>For more information, contact The ONE Group&#8217;s Technical Division on<\/strong> <strong>01733 234000<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px;line-height: 1.5\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 11pt\">Recruitment as it <strong><em>should<\/em><\/strong> be.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_promoted":"","_job_location":"St Ives, Cambridgeshire","_application":"eiredale@theonegroup.co.uk","_company_name":"The One Group","_company_website":"","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job-categories":[224],"job-types":[18],"job-location":[255],"class_list":["post-3801","job_listing","type-job_listing","status-publish","hentry","job-location-st-ives-cambridgeshire","job-type-perm"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Distribution Centre &amp; Logistics Manager - The One Group - Talent Partners<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theonegroup.co.uk\/talentpartners\/job\/distribution-centre-logistics-manager\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Distribution Centre &amp; Logistics Manager - The One Group - Talent Partners\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Distribution Centre &amp; Logistics Manager | St Ives, Cambridgeshire An opportunity to lead the distribution operation behind some of the biggest names in golf I&#8217;m recruiting for Acushnet, the global golf equipment business behind some of the sport&#8217;s most recognisable brands, including Titleist and FootJoy.
