About you
You will have substantial senior-level experience in logistics, distribution or supply chain management, ideally within a complex, fast-moving environment. A strong understanding of transport operations, warehouse management, inventory control and third-party supplier management is essential.
Commercially astute and confident in making evidence-based decisions, you will combine strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach. You will be an engaging leader with excellent communication and negotiation skills, capable of influencing stakeholders at all levels and building high-performing teams.
