Night Shift Warehouse Manager
Night Shift Warehouse Manager
We're looking for a Night Shift Warehouse Manager to lead our night operation and take ownership of performance across our warehouse and night despatch functions. This is a key leadership position responsible for delivering operational excellence through effective people management, resource planning, compliance, and continuous improvement.
This is a full-time leadership role, working 45 hours per week, with flexibility required to meet operational requirements and support the successful delivery of the nightshift operation.
This role is about leading teams, managing KPIs, monitoring performance, and ensuring the shift delivers results. While you'll maintain a strong presence within the operation, your focus will be on managing the business, not regularly undertaking picking, packing or loading activities yourself.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Leading People
- Building and developing a high-performing nightshift team of 20+ people.
- Coaching people to achieve operational goals.
- Driving accountability, engagement, attendance, and performance.
- Managing recruitment, onboarding, training, and succession planning.
- Creating a positive culture focused on teamwork, safety, quality, and customer service.
Managing Operational Performance
- Ensuring customer orders are picked and loaded accurately and on time.
- Driving productivity, service, and quality outcomes across the shift.
- Monitoring and achieving key operational KPIs.
- Managing labour resources and rostering effectively.
- Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
- Leading investigations into operational issues and implementing corrective actions.
Managing Systems, Inventory & Compliance
- Ensuring Warehouse Management System (WMS) processes are followed.
- Maintaining inventory integrity and operational discipline.
- Leading Health & Safety and Food Safety compliance across the nightshift operation.
- Ensuring incidents, risks, and compliance issues are addressed promptly.
- Driving a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
Most importantly...
You understand the difference between managing the operation and working in the operation.
You know when to step onto the floor and help, but your primary focus is:
- Leading people
- Managing performance
- Planning resources
- Driving compliance
- Delivering operational outcomes
Success in this role will be measured by the performance of your team and the achievement of operational KPIs, not by how many pallets you move or trucks you load.
What's In It For You?
- Full-time permanent position, 45 hours per week
- Senior leadership opportunity within a growing operation
- The ability to genuinely influence culture and performance
- Supportive leadership team and strong business foundations
- A role where your success is measured by results, leadership, and continuous improvement
If you're a people-focused warehouse leader who thrives on developing teams, achieving KPIs, and delivering operational excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply now and take ownership of our Night Shift operation.
