Description
Want to be part of a UK hub, in a global business that is scaling rapidly, evolving fast and radically changing the decades-old delivery universe? If so, read on, as were looking for a Courier Operations Manager to join our team in Yeovil!
We are delighted to announce that we have acquired Yodel, one of the UKs largest delivery companies. The acquisition builds on the partnership established between InPost and Yodel in 2024, when Yodel began providing last-mile delivery through InPosts locker-to-door service.
Today we become truly unique as the only delivery partner with a one-stop shop offer - we have the largest out of home delivery network that is now combined with to-door capabilities. Going forward, the acquisition of Yodel brings immediate scale to InPost's operations, expands our service offering, and provides greater convenience to retailers and customers.
About The Role
Lead the final mile operation and deliver exceptional customer experience through high-impact courier management. As Courier Operations Manager, you'll drive performance, service excellence, and cost efficiency across a dynamic self-employed courier network playing a critical role in delivering our "Courier First" strategy.
Youll oversee day-to-day courier resource planning, performance management, and operational compliance, while also deputising for the Service Centre Manager, ensuring seamless service centre operations.
What Youll Be Doing
Were looking for people who are ready for a fast paced environment, get their kicks out of problem solving and can balance getting today's stuff done, whilst building for the future. Were looking for people with drive and natural curiosity who want to do things differently. And do them brilliantly.
We pride ourselves on our candidate experience. We want to make this as straightforward as possible, for you and for us! We will try our best to get back to you within a few days to let you know if wed like to take you to the first stage. This normally involves a 20 minute chat with our Talent Team. If we both feel the connection, youll then go through another one or two stages, depending on the level of the role.
At InPost, we love uniqueness. Our strength is our people.
We strive to create an open, equal, inclusive environment in which everyone has the opportunity to flourish and be themselves.
