Peak & Seasonal PlanningLead proactive peak and seasonal labour planning to enable controlled ramp‑up, early visibility of requirements, and reduced dependency on short‑notice agency supply.
Agency Governance & AlignmentEstablish and enforce a consistent Agency Governance Framework that aligns suppliers to company standards, ensures timely escalation and documentation, and holds agencies accountable for compliance, conduct, and performance.
Qualifications- Strong background in high‑volume warehouse operations, labour planning, or resource management.
- Proven experience managing agency labour at scale within a fast‑paced operational environment.
- Strong commercial awareness with the ability to assess cost, risk, and operational impact of labour decisions.
- Highly analytical, with advanced Excel and data interpretation capability.
- Confident communicator with the credibility to challenge senior operational stakeholders and third‑party suppliers.
- Demonstrated experience holding suppliers accountable against measurable KPIs and governance standards.
