Working closely with cross-functional teams, vendors, carriers, and 3PL partners, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible impact in a fast-paced international environment.

This position is based in our London, UK office and follows our hybrid-flex schedule.

What Will You Be Doing?

Transport Operations & Planning

• Plan, schedule, and monitor inbound and outbound transport activities to support on-time deliveries to stores, e-commerce customers, and distribution centers.
• Work closely with DC management to strengthen operational processes and help ensure service levels consistently meet supply chain and transportation goals.
• Partner with EMEA teams, US Home Office Transportation, and Stores Operations to resolve transport claims, shipment exceptions, and delivery issues for stores and e-commerce customers.

Analysis, Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Support carrier claims management while reviewing freight costs, transit performance, delivery accuracy, and transport KPIs to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Provide analytical and operational support to help deliver timely, accurate, and cost-effective service across the EMEA network.
• Track and analyze transport trends, service levels, freight spend, and delivery issues, translating findings into practical recommendations that improve efficiency and customer experience.
• Contribute to the rollout of transport and DC distribution strategies that improve service, enhance carrier performance, and support cost optimization.
• Evaluate vendor and transport partner performance, including 3PL providers and customs-related partners where applicable, to support operational excellence and continuous improvement.
• Look for opportunities to improve reporting, streamline processes, and use emerging tools, including AI-enabled solutions, to enhance visibility and decision-making.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

• Collaborate with vendors, carriers, and 3PL partners to maintain logistics compliance, resolve service challenges, and keep transport documentation accurate and up to date.
• Build strong relationships with DC Operations, Store Operations, the International Transportation Team, Vendor Compliance, and Asset Protection to identify priorities and solve supply chain and transport issues proactively.
