Contract type: Permanent

It’s never lonely at the top in an Argos LFC.

There have been some really exciting things going on behind the scenes here. Argos now combines an online ordering and home delivery model to rival the biggest competitors with handy collection points in Sainsbury’s stores, too.

We’re now opening a number of new Argos Local Fulfilment Centres (LFCs) nationwide to ensure that customers receive their orders when and how they prefer. But what does this mean for you?

It means you’ll never have been so close to the customer. As Site Manager, you’ll be responsible for articulating feedback into continuous improvement, always through the lens of the customer experience. We’re a fulfilment centre and not distribution centre, making it easier and quicker to react when things go well, and when they need addressing.

What you will be doing

Our metrics are customer satisfaction; your targets focus on the decisions you make to deliver exemplary service and that involves collaboration and communication all day, every day. Funnelling information and feedback from the business back into your diverse and capable team, you’ll ensure products are delivered to our customers safely and efficiently; at the right time, in the right quantity & quality and at the right cost.

A job well done

Along the way, you’ll need to bring an engaging and inspiring leadership approach that drives excellence from your people and promotes an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves, thus leading to high levels of trust.

Let’s talk about you

Your leadership experience will be grounded in having created and delivered a vision, strategic direction and built high-performing teams.

As comfortable managing priorities and team workload to maximise productivity as you are driving a culture of change, you work well cross functionally and are great at coaching and developing others. What’s more, your strong levels of curiosity mean you’re always on the look out for continuous improvement opportunities, while being mindful of the need to comply with the relevant legislation and create a safe working environment by adhering to processes.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll really benefit from the supportive, family feel and helpful management. What’s more, as you’ll be part of a Sainsbury’s-owned multi-brand retailer, there are many ways you could develop your career across different parts of the business.

Alongside this, we also offer a great range of benefits for all our colleagues, including:

• Discount card (after 4 weeks) for you and a second user that gives you 10% off on most items in Sainsburys, Argos and Habitat (Discount is increased at Sainsburys to 15% every payday for 5 days plus 15% at Argos on every payday)
• Food and hot drinks is provided in colleague areas in all our Local Fulfilment Centres
• Generous holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension – we’ll match 4-7% of your pension contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share scheme – build up an investment at discounted rates
• Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counselling, legal and financial advice
• Colleague networks – link with like-minded people to help fulfil your potential.
• Our Cycle to Work scheme gives you the opportunity to hire a new bike and cycling equipment, whilst saving on tax and NI.
• Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more.
