Your responsibilities will include:
- Picking e-commerce customer orders across over 100 own-bought and concession brand sites, ensuring care and precision to maintain a seamless customer experience.
- Processing customer returns, raising queries, and liaising with relevant departments.
- Handling stock operations such as checking, putting away stock, repacking deliveries, palletising totes, wrapping pallets, and managing returns to the shop floor.
- Maintaining housekeeping and Health & Safety standards.
