Team Leader - Editions - Bermondsey

Deliveroo

Deliveroo is on a mission to be the definitive food company. We want to be the platform that people turn to whenever they think about food. We continue to operate in a competitive marketplace but have achieved so much over the past year, including growth in our Hop, Grocery, Editions, Signature & Plus businesses.

We continue to innovate and challenge ourselves on what we should deliver next to achieve our mission. We are investing and building teams to help us launch new products. It's an exciting time to join and while we have made great progress, we are just getting started!

Deliveroo Editions

We are on a mission to be the definitive food company. With a dash of hard-work, a sprinkle of teamwork and a whole dollop of creativity, we created “Editions” which is our ‘dark kitchens’ business. We have partnered with some fantastic restaurants such as Wagamama, Starbucks, Pho and Gourmet Burger Company to help further connect them with hungry customers.

Delivery-only kitchens have never been higher profile, or more valuable for improving service and selection for customers. Deliveroo Editions were the world's first delivery-only kitchens, and we are still the market leaders in helping our restaurant partners succeed. What’s even more exciting is that we’re expanding our portfolio further.

The role

As part of our Editions delivery only kitchen offering, we sometimes send out samples of stock from large, well known brands when they are running promotions on new lines for example. To better facilitate this, we are setting up a new warehouse to receive this stock in bulk and then distribute it ourselves to our network of London Editions kitchens.

Reporting to the Head of Editions Site Operations UK, the role of the Hub & Spoke Site Manager is to create and manage a seamless distribution operation to service all of our dark kitchen sites across the capital. This includes but isn’t limited to; creating a distribution plan and partnering with 3rd party companies to ensure we can get stock to our dark kitchens on time, writing out warehouse best practices from scratch, controlling and keeping a record of all incoming inventory and managing a team to hit KPIs set.
