As one of The Sunday Times 100 fastest-growing companies in 2026, Just Bee are seeking a reliable and observant Senior Operations Assistant to provide hands-on support at the heart of their 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 isn’t a supervisor role — it’s the role right next to it. 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, they would love to hear from you. 

Key responsibilities

Day-to-day responsibilities

  • Support daily packing and label printing operations 
  • Ensure all 2nd Class mail is dispatched by 2pm and 1st Class mail by 3pm 
  • Carry out quality control checks and maintain accuracy standards 
  • Support QMS audits and promotional packing campaigns 
  • Help maintain an organised and efficient fulfilment centre

Supervisor cover (ad hoc)

When the fulfilment supervisor is on holiday or absent, you will take on the full supervisor responsibilities. You will be trained on everything needed so this transition is seamless. 

  • Running fulfilment centre operations 
  • Coordinating workloads and allocating tasks 
  • Managing communications and logistics issues with couriers 
  • Overseeing quality, stock control, and QMS reporting 
  • Acting as the first point of escalation

About you

  • You will be experienced working in a fulfilment, warehouse or logistics environment 
  • Have a team-first attitude - happy to support and be supported 
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy 
  • Proactive communicator 
  • Familiar with fulfilment software such as AMO and Shopify 
  • Comfortable lifting to 13kg 
  • Able to work on your feet for long periods and carry out the physical demands of a fast-paced fulfilment environment

Working hours and conditions

  • Saturday and Sunday 4pm to 12pm (Midnight) 
  • 6-month fixed-term contract
  • Ad-hoc overtime may be required by agreement
  • Minimum three weeks' notice required for holiday requests
  • No holidays in November or the first half of December without prior approval

Performance

Everyone in the team is accountable for clear weekly targets, reviewed at team meetings. As Senior Operations Assistant, you will be expected to help the team hit these consistently — and own them fully when covering the Supervisor.
