Reverse Logistics Team Leader at OneDayOnly

About You


We're on the hunt for a Reverse Logistics Team Leader who is switched on, solutions-focused, and ready to lead from the front. You aren't just a manager; you're an operational maestro who balances the flow of physical stock with the precision of digital data.
You are a self-starter who takes full ownership, driving tasks through to completion without needing a nudge. As a hands-on leader, you thrive on the floor with your sleeves rolled up, coaching and solving puzzles alongside your team rather than from a distance. You stay close to the work to lead by example, ensuring that "OneDayOnly quality" is maintained at every step of the return journey.


Responsibilities


Operational Coordination & Workload: Oversee daily task allocation and manage the ebb and flow of return volumes. You are organised and deadline-driven, knowing exactly how to prioritise and multi-task to keep the pipeline moving without reminders.
Hands-on Leadership: Lead, coach, and motivate your team to deliver excellence. You'll be present on the floor, assisting with tricky physical assessments and providing live coaching to help agents grow.
Solutions-Focused Troubleshooting: You see problems as puzzles, not roadblocks. Whether it's a "mystery parcel" or a complex courier claim, you identify gaps, take initiative, and bring the team along with you to find a fix.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: You are a collaborator at heart, working seamlessly across departments to troubleshoot workflows and improve the customer experience.
Tech & Data Management: Being tech-savvy, you'll navigate Zendesk, Google Workspace, and Asana with ease, ensuring all documentation is accurate and performance trends are spotted early.
Communication Excellence: You are a clear, calm, and capable communicator, whether you're de-escalating a frustrated customer or delivering a performance feedback session to an agent.
Performance Ownership: Monitor SLAs and KPIs with a professional and positive attitude, passionate about delivering top-notch service - every time.


Experience and Qualifications


Matric (Grade 12): A tertiary qualification is a plus.
Experience: Minimum 3 - 4 years in customer service or logistics, with at least 2 years in a team leader or supervisory role, preferably in an eCommerce or warehouse environment.
Systems: Proficient in customer service platforms (Zendesk/Freshdesk), Google Workspace, and quick to learn new software.
Legal Knowledge: Sound working knowledge of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA) as they relate to retail returns and refunds.
Attributes: High attention to detail, highly adaptable, and a team player who takes initiative.
