ABOUT YOU

Are you looking for a job that delivers more? When you join Royal Mail, you join an organisation that achieves something extraordinary every day. We’ve been trusted by the nation for more than 500 years. You’ll be at the heart of your community, vital to your team, and part of an organisation that delivers for the nation.
This is a role packed full of influence, challenges and responsibility, so we need someone who is flexible and can excel under pressure. Customer focussed, team player, results driven, inspiring leader – you know how to get the best out of our people and deliver the best to our customers.
You can empathise, motivate, coach, and collaborate, and will relish the opportunity to be part of our historic transformation from a letters business to a parcels business, whether that’s through reduced cost, innovative work practices or data driven ideas. We’re looking to you to bring your skills and experience to make brilliant things possible.

As a Lead Customer Operations Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading and developing a Customer Operations Manager (COM) to take ownership and accountability to deliver results across a balance scorecard, whilst at the same time deploying significant transformational changes.
You’ll be the point of contact for external stakeholders and hold the responsibility through delegation, coaching and support to ensure all COMs complete tasks to time and quality, delivering the scorecard performance.
You’ll produce the weekly resourcing plan and ensure the COM delivers towards this. Leading on safety will be key, ensuring the COM completes their safety tasks and the unit’s specific PIC tasks are accomplished, alongside confirming the COM is managing their fleet, and the unit hits overall targets.
Furthermore, you’ll also have full accountability for your Delivery team. You’ll work through the morning and into the afternoon and ensure the smooth running of all deliveries. You’ll lead and inspire a team of front-line colleagues to work efficiently and provide excellent service at the doorstep. Being a great leader means creating a positive and engaging work environment, promoting inclusivity, and being a role model by living our values.
To ensure we reach our best with people management, resource planning and specialist project activity, you’ll also partner with Trade Union, taking the lead for the unit, to keep raising the bar as you coach your team to drive performance improvement. Delivering every item accurately and on time is crucial to who we are, you will play a major part in the trust customers have in us.
