1. Logistics Centre of Excellence: Warehousing & Transport Excellence

• Establish, govern, and continuously evolve a clearly defined global Logistics Centre of Excellence covering both warehousing and transportation.

• Deliver global warehousing standards and playbooks that drive measurable improvements in productivity, safety, inventory accuracy, service reliability, and working capital performance.

• Define and embed transportation excellence frameworks across mode strategy, routing, carrier management, and execution rigor, delivering improved cost efficiency, service reliability, and risk resilience.

• Define and operationalize clear decision rights, governance forums, and critical issue mechanisms between global, regional, and country teams for warehousing and transportation topics.

• Exercise effective enterprise level influence to drive adoption of logistics excellence standards and ways of working across diverse regions and operating models.

Digitalisation & Data Led Logistics Performance:

• Own and deliver a coherent global logistics digital roadmap spanning warehousing and transportation, including WMS and TMS capabilities, control towers, and advanced analytics.

• Ensure that digital investments deliver measurable operational, financial, and service outcomes, rather than technology deployment alone.

• Enable enhanced end to end visibility, data transparency, and predictive insight across warehouse and transport operations, supporting faster decision making and more resilient execution.

1. Enterprise Value, Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Clearly articulate and quantify enterprise value outcomes across logistics cost, service, safety, resilience, working capital, and sustainability.

• Position warehousing and transportation excellence as strategic enterprise capabilities within supply chain leadership and broader enterprise transformation forums.

Experience and Qualifications (Required):

• Proven ability to lead complex, global logistics transformations across multiple regions and maturity levels for transportation and warehousing.

• Strong strategic and tactical (1 year) judgement to balance cost, service, risk, and sustainability trade-offs.

• Strong understanding of TMS, WMS, Control Towers, and logistics digital platforms.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Supply Chain, Logistics, Engineering, or a related field. Minimum 10 -15 years demonstrated ability in logistics or supply chain, including at least 5 years in a global or enterprise leadership role.

Desired:
