Full Job Description

Do you have strong site management experience in a large scale 3P warehousing operation? Are you a confident leader with a keen eye for detail and eagerness for continuous improvement? Do you have what it takes to manage an omnichannel operation (retail, home fulfilment and ecomm) with over 1,300 colleagues, reaching 1,800+ in peak? Here at GXO Logistics, we've teamed up with the electrical retail giants - Curry's, as their 3PL partner, and we're looking for a Campus General Manager to oversee two 750,000 sq ft buildings at site in Newark. You'll lead the site to success, in a customer-facing role, with a big focus on change management and automation implementation. Even though you'll be contracted to Monday - Friday, this is a 24/7 operation and you'll need to offer a level of flexibility in terms of working hours - no two weeks are the same, this is logistics after all!,

  • Manage the site leadership team, ensuring all KPIs across the business are consistently met
  • Liaise and build rapport with the customer to allow for collaborative working and the defining of shared goals and objectives
  • Lead the change management on site, with a focus on CI, innovation, and automation implementation
  • Ensure the overall smooth running of the operation across the 1.5 million sq ft campus

    Experience at Site Manager level in a large-scale 3PL operation
  • Strong financial acumen - you'll be accountable for a multi-million-pound budget
  • Strong knowledge of different variables of operational flow, including warehouse automation and implementation
  • Experience in a customer-facing role, with exposure to driving change and implementing a CI culture

We help our customers manage their goods most efficiently using our technology and services. Our greatest strength is our global team - energetic, innovative people of all experience levels and talents who make GXO a great place to work.
