The role

As the Shift Manager you will establish the workflow productivity targets for the shift ahead and provide clear communication to your Managers for them to brief their teams on daily volume and productivity targets.  The shift handover from the previous shift may result in you having to make quick decisions around reallocation of labour deployment, or temporary mechanical issues may require an unexpected change of work mix.

About you

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual who already has experience of a management role within a fast-paced, Unionised environment and can demonstrate a keen interest in contributing to the continued growth of the DC.  Ideally you will already have experience of running a highly engaged, motivated and productive team, so you can lead, coach and develop your team enabling them to be the best they can be.

You will encourage change and provide active support for the submission, evaluation and trialling of Continuous Improvement principles and ideas within your team, leading to increased involvement, productivity and job satisfaction for all colleagues.  Leading your shift by promoting and delivering a strong target focused and productive workforce, you will also cascade communications and provide feedback to the senior management team.  Coaching and developing your Managers will be key to ongoing improved engagement for them and their teams.

About Clarks

Clarks, based in Somerset, England, has been at the forefront of innovative shoemaking since its foundation in 1825, when brothers James and Cyrus Clark made a slipper from sheepskin off-cuts. At the time it was ground-breaking; a combination of invention and craftsmanship that’s remained at the heart of what the brand does now.

 In the Clarks archive of more than 22,000 pairs are shoes that have sparked revolutions and defined generations. From the original Clarks Desert Boot, first designed by Nathan Clark and launched in 1950 to the iconic Wallabee, each design has an instantly recognisable signature - a unique combination of craftsmanship and innovation that make it unmistakably Clarks.

Underpinned by a rich heritage and strong values, Clarks is a leading global footwear brand serving millions of consumers across the world, operating retail, wholesale, franchise and online channels in over 100 markets worldwide supported by nearly 6,000 employees across the world.

In February 2021, Clarks entered a new chapter in its history as it formed a partnership with LionRock Capital, positioning the iconic footwear brand for future success as it enters its third century.
