Warehouse Manager (E-Commerce)

Location: Bromborough, Merseyside

Salary: £35,000 – £40,000 depending on experience, plus benefits

Hours: Full Time; Permanent; Monday to Saturday; Split Shifts – 8am to 5pm or 12pm to 8pm

The Opportunity

Our client is a growing, well-established e-commerce business shipping a large and varied product range to customers across the UK, both direct to the public and to trade. Order volumes are strong and climbing, and they are preparing to move into larger, purpose-fit premises. This is a genuinely new role created to bring proper structure and leadership to the warehouse as they scale.

You'll report directly to the business owner and take full ownership of the operation and the team.

What you'll be responsible for:

• Running the day-to-day warehouse operation end to end, from goods-in through to dispatch, keeping orders flowing accurately and on time.
• Owning stock accuracy and warehouse organisation. This is the part of the role that matters most to our client. They want a warehouse where every product has a defined location, stock counts can be trusted, and nothing gets lost or mis-picked because it was put away in the wrong place. Building and enforcing that discipline is central to the job.
• Leading a team of around eight, including a senior team member who supports training and day-to-day supervision. You'll set the standards, manage performance, sort rotas and cover, and build a team that takes pride in getting it right.
• Overseeing a small in-house assembly and made-to-order production function that sits within the warehouse, making sure it runs to spec and to deadline alongside standard order fulfilment.
• Managing goods-in and put away, including palletised deliveries from suppliers, and keeping the receiving process tight so stock is booked in correctly and quickly.
• Driving continuous improvement across layout, pick paths, and processes, and helping plan and execute the move to their new site. Keeping the warehouse safe, tidy and compliant with health and safety standards.

What our client is looking for:

• Real warehouse management or supervisory experience, ideally in an environment where accuracy and organisation matter more than brute volume.
• Someone who is naturally organised and a bit of a stickler for things being in the right place. If a misfiled product or a stock count that doesn't reconcile genuinely bothers you, you'll fit in well here.
• A confident, hands-on people manager who can lead from the floor, develop a team, and hold standards without needing to be told twice. Comfortable with warehouse management systems (Computer based) and happy using software to run stock, orders and reporting.
• A practical problem-solver who spots what's slowing things down and fixes it.

Nice to have – not essential:

• Experience in an e-commerce or online-retail fulfilment operation, where the day is picking, packing and dispatching orders rather than shifting heavy pallets.
• An articulated forklift (FLT) licence is a real plus or a Reach / Counterbalance, though not a requirement.

Why Join Our Client

A brand-new role with real autonomy and a direct line to the owner, so your decisions actually land. A growing business with a new site on the way, and the chance to build the operation the way it should be run rather than inherit someone else's mess.

Competitive salary and a stable, Monday-to-Saturday operation.
