You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more. You’ll also have access to our GXO University which provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with. There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!
What you’ll do on a typical day:
- Budget responsibility, ensuring contract KPIs and budgets are achieved, contribute to quarterly costs budgets covering all aspects of the site.
- Primary contact for the customer developing and maintaining relationships in line with a partnership approach attending regular customer reviews
- Devise and implement provision of all appropriate reporting for both internal and external customers
- Lead, coach and develop direct reports; responsible for all people processes during the lifecycle of an employee
