About the Role
We’re expanding our fulfilment team at Just Bee!
As one of The Sunday Times 100 fastest growing companies in 2026, we are seeking a reliable and observant Senior Operations Assistant to provide hands-on support at the heart of our fulfilment centre. You will work closely alongside the fulfilment supervisor every day, helping to keep daily operations running smoothly and ensuring outgoing mail is processed accurately and on time.
This role works directly alongside the supervisor position, rather than directly managing. Your primary job is day-to-day support. At the same time, you will be fully trained on all supervisor responsibilities so that when the fulfilment supervisor is away, you can step in and cover their duties with confidence, keeping things running without a hitch.
If you're ready to step into a senior role at a rapidly growing business and help drive Just Bee’s success, we'd love to hear from you.
