We are looking for a Warehouse Front Line Manager to join our warehouse team, based at our new warehouse in Amesbury, supporting the safe, accurate, and efficient movement of product through our warehouse operation.

Alongside hands on leadership, you'll complete shift administration, support people management activities, and help drive continuous improvement within the warehouse.
