While our warehouse in Boavista is owned by Driscoll’s, the day-to-day operations are managed by our logistics partner DHL. This means you will work closely with approximately 200 on-site employees across inbound, outbound, and production activities. Although these teams are not your direct reports, they are critical stakeholders in your success.
You will be based in Boavista, with travel to our Tavira location approximately once every 2–3 weeks. Responsibilities
In this role, you will operate at the heart of our logistics network, ensuring seamless coordination between Driscoll’s and our 3PL partners. You will take ownership of day-to-day operational performance while continuously identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, and collaboration across all stakeholders.
Oversee daily operations of our 3PL partners, ensuring alignment on priorities, planning, and execution
Act as the main point of contact between internal teams (Planning, Quality, Sales) and warehouse operations
Monitor KPIs such as order accuracy, cooling times, and service levels, and drive performance improvements
Ensure strict adherence to cold chain protocols to maintain product quality
Identify operational bottlenecks and implement pragmatic solutions
Manage costs and validate 3PL invoices in line with agreed contracts
Support compliance with quality and certification standards (e.g., BRC)
Drive continuous improvement initiatives across logistics processes
Transformation & challenge
A key focus area in this role will be supporting and embedding changes driven by our Aurora transformation project. The biggest challenge will be to successfully bring the warehouse organization along in these changes—ensuring alignment, engagement, and adoption across all stakeholders on site.
