Our Supply Chain & Operations teams sit at the heart of our recommerce business, ensuring products move efficiently from customers into our warehouses and back out to new homes across Europe.

As we continue to grow across multiple markets, we're investing in building a smarter, more scalable warehouse network. This includes improving warehouse design, introducing automation where it adds value, and creating consistent processes that can be replicated across sites.


You'll work closely with teams across Supply Chain, Operations, and Technology to design and implement the next generation of our warehouse infrastructure.


About the role:
As Warehouse Design & Automation Manager, you'll play a key role in shaping how our warehouses operate today and how they scale for the future.

Reporting to the Head of Supply Chain & Procurement, you'll lead the design, optimisation, and automation of warehouse layouts and material flows across our pan-European network.


Your focus will be on improving throughput, space utilisation, and operational consistency through intelligent warehouse design and the implementation of the right technologies. You'll combine operational insight with technical expertise to ensure our warehouses are efficient, scalable, and ready to support continued growth.

  • Develop scalable warehouse design templates that can be replicated across multiple countries.
  • Provide data-driven insights for warehouse capacity planning and investment decisions.
  • Support operational teams through training and change management when new technologies or layouts are introduced.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Audit existing warehouses and redesign layouts to improve material flow, productivity, and capacity.
  • Develop standard warehouse design frameworks and process templates for replication across multiple sites.
  • Lead the specification, selection, and implementation of warehouse automation technologies.
  • Work closely with Technology teams to integrate warehouse operations with WMS, WES, and other digital systems.
  • Conduct capacity modelling, throughput simulations, and ROI analysis for warehouse improvement and automation projects.
  • Support warehouse teams with training and operational change management when implementing new layouts or technologies.
  • Collaborate with Supply Chain, Operations, and Technology teams to continuously improve warehouse performance.
  • Contribute to planning and design for new warehouse sites and network expansion.

Essential Skills & Experience:
  • 5-8 years of experience in warehouse design, logistics engineering, or automation project delivery.
  • Strong experience designing warehouse layouts and material flows.
  • Experience implementing or supporting warehouse automation technologies.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, Visio, or similar warehouse design tools.
  • Familiarity with WMS systems and warehouse technology integration.
  • Experience delivering multi-site warehouse or logistics projects.
  • Strong analytical mindset with experience in capacity modelling, simulation, or operational analysis.
  • Practical, hands-on approach with the ability to translate design into operational improvements.
  • Proactive, detail-oriented, and collaborative communicator.
  • Experience in e-commerce, fulfilment, logistics, or recommerce environments is a strong plus.
