Interim Operations Manager (Warehouse & Logistics) North Derbyshire 9 Month Fixed-Term Contract £55,000 - £65,000 Are you an experienced warehouse leader who can step into a fast-paced operation and keep everything running smoothly during a critical period of change? We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and growing business undergoing a major warehouse consolidation project. With a senior leader dedicated to delivering this transformation, we're looking for an Interim Operations Manager to take ownership of day-to-day operations at their site during peak trading.
