Responsibilities:

  • Recruitment & contracts – From job posts to contract management

The Hard Truth: Not For Everyone

  • The Front Line: This is not a quiet office job. You are in the heart of the warehouse. You will be dealing with noise, movement, and real-time people issues.

  • Uncomfortable Conversations: Conflict resolution is a daily task, not an occasional one. You must be comfortable delivering direct feedback and managing difficult staffing situations without hesitation.

  • Immediate Accountability: If there is a payroll error or a staffing gap, the floor feels it instantly. You need to be detail-obsessed because your "paperwork" affects people's lives and the business's output in real time.

If you’re nodding along, we’d love to hear from you.
MyRunway is committed to transformation and redressing of past inequalities. Our employment equity goals will be taken into account in our selection process.
