• 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.

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

3. 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.

4. Enterprise Value, Performance & Continuous Improvement

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

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.
