Operations Manager Yes! Logistics Solutions - Rugby, Warwickshire

Operations Manager

Yes! Logistics Solutions is a growing, entrepreneurial logistics business with a reputation for flexibility, service and saying "yes" where others won't. Backed by a strong parent group and investing for growth, the business is now looking to appoint an operations manager to take ownership of logistics operations at its Rugby site.

This is a hands on leadership role, reporting directly to the Managing Director, with real scope to shape how the operation runs today and how it scales tomorrow.

The role

You will have end to end responsibility for warehouse fulfilment and storage operations on site, including pick & pack and bulk storage activities. The operation is currently small but growing, with new customer onboarding, process improvement and a WMS change already underway.

Key responsibilities

• Day to day leadership of the Rugby logistics operation
• Onboarding and stabilising new customers into the warehouse
• Driving process improvement, productivity and efficiency
• Supporting and embedding a new WMS implementation
• Improving control, visibility and consistency across stock and flows
• Leading, developing and growing the operational team as volumes increase
• Being visible and hands on on the shop floor when required

This role has no responsibility for the wood packaging / case making operation, which sits separately within the wider business.

The person

We are looking for a practical, commercially minded logistics professional who enjoys being close to the operation and making things better.

• Experience managing a single site warehouse or distribution operation
• Strong exposure to pick & pack, fulfilment and stock accuracy
• A track record of customer onboarding and operational change
• Confidence working with WMS and warehouse IT systems
• A hands on leadership style with genuine team spirit
• Ambition to grow with a developing business rather than sit in a rigid structure

Background in large, heavily automated or highly corporate environments is not essential; attitude, adaptability and mindset matter more.

Why join Yes! Logistics?

• A growing business with clear ambition and investment behind it
• Direct access to, and support from, an engaged Managing Director
• The chance to shape and grow a logistics operation, not just inherit one
• A role that can develop in scope and responsibility as the business expands
• A down to earth, people focused culture with short decision lines

Location

Rugby - this is a site based role, Monday to Friday. Candidates must live within a reasonable commuting distance.
