About the role
Warehouse Director | High-Volume Regulated Fulfilment | South East England
The warehouse exists, the volume is real, and the operation needs a leader who has been here before. Someone who has walked into a site that is not performing, rebuilt it from the inside out, and left it running at a standard others benchmark against.
This is not a strategic oversight role. You will be on the floor daily, setting the pace, holding the standard, and building the team around you. This requires daily presence, hands-on leadership, and the conviction to make hard calls quickly.
The Business
A fast-scaling, technology-enabled fulfilment operation in Southeast England, processing high volumes of regulated orders daily with a clear agenda to become a nationally significant operation. Think FMCG scale operational rigour applied to an environment where every order directly impacts a real patient.
The operation funds the entire business. The GM of this function sets the standard for everything.
