Job Description

Shape how parcels move across Europe — and make it stick Group-wide.

InPost Group · Operations · Group Middle-Mile Logistics

Location: International · Scope: All Group markets: PL, FR, UK, ES, IT, BeNe + future markets

Reports to: Head of Group Middle-Mile Logistics

Own the way InPost Group moves parcels between hubs. You will set, standardize and continuously improve our linehaul (middle-mile) model across every Group market — freight fill rate, transit time and cross-market lane optimization.

You are the Group voice on transport and linehaul for Country COOs: senior, visible and trusted to turn data into decisions.

What you'll do

  • Set the standard. Own the Group standard for linehaul management: freight fill rate, route design and capacity planning.
  • Optimize the flow. Improve parcel flow and fill rate across markets; build Group dashboards (fill rate, transit time, cost KPIs, SLA per leg).
  • Open new lanes. Lead cross-border lane optimization (e.g. Belgium–Netherlands and other emerging lanes) — a direct Country COO priority.
  • Fix what slows us down. Own transit-time performance, find root causes and lead corrective plans with the markets.
  • Make the case. Prepare cost-benefit and risk business cases for network redesign and transport investment, for Country COO decisions.
  • Drive Project Flair. Contribute to the technology-enabled linehaul redesign in France: carrier collaboration, settlement, monitoring.
  • Support our markets. Back France, Iberia and Italy (network planning / TMS), new markets (BeNe) and new transport partnerships.
  • Align everyone. Standardize transport reports and tools (incl. ELF), share best practice, and act as Group escalation point with Country COOs and Network Management, including RACI-based approval of linehaul plans.
  • Lead. Manage two direct reports  and guide market transport managers and planners as a matrix leader. You co-own and safeguard the international Middle-Mile transport budget.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's in logistics, supply chain, transport engineering, business/economics or related field
  • 5 years in a logistics company (ideally e-commerce, logistics network or courier) managing large-scale, multi-market transport or network-flow operations
  • 3 years preparing advanced business cases and reports for senior stakeholders
  • 3 years leading or actively taking part in international standardization, optimization or systems-implementation projects
  • English C1
  • Advanced Excel, PowerPoint and Power BI; strong analysis of large data sets; grasp of linehaul network economics
  • Executive presence, stakeholder management and negotiation with senior audiences (incl. transport partners)
  • Ability to influence without direct authority and to set and enforce standards across markets of different maturity
  • Resilience and ownership in fast-changing, high-visibility settings; cross-cultural sensitivity

Who you will work with

Internally: Senior Leadership Team, Country COOs, Network Management, hubs and branches, Transport teams, Tech / TMS, Finance and PMO. Externally: TMS / GPS vendors, transport and carrier partners, and industry organizations.
