Warehouse Leader / Manager

Lead a high-performing warehouse team and shape operational excellence

Scitex Recruitment is partnering with a leading New Zealand manufacturing business to identify an emerging or established Warehouse Manager ready to take ownership of a busy and high-performing operation. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced Warehouse Team Leader or Supervisor ready to take the next step into a management role, or an existing Warehouse Manager looking for a new challenge. We're seeking someone who can combine strong leadership capability with a hands‑on approach and the ability to bring people, systems and process together. This is not a desk‑based leadership role. You'll be visible on the warehouse floor around 50% of your time, coaching your team, solving problems and driving performance in a fast-paced environment.

\n
• Lead, coach and develop a team of approximately 9–10 warehouse staff
\n
• Ensure efficient warehouse operations, inventory control and product dispatch activities
\n
• Manage relationships with freight providers, third‑party suppliers and key operational partners
\n
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives across warehouse processes and systems
\n
• Work closely with manufacturing, customer service and operational stakeholders to achieve service outcomes and delivery targets
\n

\n
• Previous experience as a Warehouse Team Leader, Supervisor or Warehouse Manager within FMCG, manufacturing or a similar environment
\n
• SAP experience is essential – SAP S/4HANA even better!
\n
• Proven leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop teams
\n
• Comfortable taking a hands‑on approach and spending significant time on the warehouse floor
\n
• Experience managing inventory, KPIs and operational performance metrics
\n
• Ability to analyse issues, implement solutions and drive positive change
\n

\n
• Opportunity to step into a leadership role with genuine ownership and influence
\n
• Base range of $100K to $115K with 7.5% STIP
\n
• Join a well‑established business with a strong reputation and growth focus
\n
• Supportive environment where people development and continuous improvement are valued
\n
• Hands‑on leadership role with variety and autonomy
\n
• Chance to develop your career and make a visible impact on operational performance
\n

If you enjoy leading from the front, thrive in fast‑paced warehouse environments and are passionate about developing teams and driving operational excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
