Role: Warehouse Manager (Mandarin speaking)
Salary: £35,000 - £45,000
Location: Leicestershire
Industry: Warehousing & Logistics
A growing operation in Leicestershire is looking for a Warehouse Manager to lead day-to-day operations, own the systems, and be the calm, capable voice clients trust when things need resolving.
This business manages goods handling and quality control on behalf of manufacturer clients based primarily in China. Because client communication happens in Mandarin, fluent Mandarin is a genuine requirement of the role, not a preference, alongside confident working English for day-to-day UK operations.
What you’ll own
- Full day-to-day running of the warehouse: shipping, receiving, inventory, order fulfilment
- Leading and developing a team, including team leaders across warehouse and site functions
- Working across WMS, ERP and CRM systems to keep operations tight
- Coordinating third-party logistics providers for collections and deliveries
- Managing client relationships directly, particularly when something’s gone wrong and needs handling with tact rather than just an apology
- Reviewing performance data and driving process improvements across the site
What you’ll bring
- Fluent Mandarin, essential for this role given the client base
- Confident working English
- Proven experience managing a warehouse or logistics team
- Comfortable operating forklift trucks and warehouse equipment
- A calm, diplomatic style, this role lives or dies on how you handle a client who isn’t happy
- Genuine organisational strength in a fast-paced, detail-heavy environment
What’s on offer
- £35,000 - £45,000 DOE per annum
- Free on-site parking
- UK visa sponsorship available for the right candidate
- Real ownership of a site within a business that’s actively expanding internationally
If you’ve got the language skills, the operational chops, and the people sense to manage both a warehouse and a relationship, we’d like to hear from you. Apply with your CV.
