Head of Operations

    • Johannesburg
  • Team Experience

Job description

Think bigger. Move faster. Build smarter.

We’re looking for a seriously strong operations leader to help us build the next version of our warehouse.

Not someone to simply keep things running.

Someone who walks into an operation, spots the opportunities others miss, and thinks:

“There’s a better way to do this.”

Then makes it happen.

You’ll take ownership of the big things that make an operation slick: people, productivity, inventory, technology, capacity and cost.

Job requirements

Your Playground

  • Make us faster
    Find bottlenecks. Challenge old processes. Build better ones.

  • Make us sharper
    Drive performance across Receiving, Picking, Packing, Returns and Inventory.

  • Make us more productive
    Own labour planning, staffing, productivity, shifts, capacity and seasonal workforce planning.

  • Make us smarter
    Work with Tech to automate, improve systems and turn operational headaches into scalable solutions.

  • Make us ready to grow
    Own inventory accuracy, warehouse space and capacity planning.

  • Make the numbers work
    Drive productivity, manage operational costs and deliver measurable savings.

  • Build great leaders
    Coach managers, develop future leaders and create a culture where people take ownership.

  • Keep the customer at the centre
    Because every improvement should ultimately mean faster, more accurate orders and happier customers.

Who We’re Looking For

You’ve spent 6+ years leading warehouse or distribution operations and you’re at your best when there’s a big, messy problem to solve.

You’re commercial. Analytical. Tech-savvy. Great with people.

And you don’t accept “that’s how we’ve always done it” as an answer.

One Year From Now...

The warehouse is faster. Leaner. Smarter. More accurate. More automated. Better led.

And ready for whatever comes next.

Sound like your kind of challenge? Let’s talk.
