  • Lead logistics across B2B and D2C, including last-mile Delivery & Installation and reverse logistics, with a strong focus on reliable, first-time-right customer fulfilment.
  • Shape and continuously evolve the GB & Ireland Supply Chain operating model and multi-year roadmap, creating clear accountability across local, regional and 3PL teams.
  • Lead and develop the internal Supply Chain team, building a culture of accountability, collaboration, customer focus and continuous improvement.
  • Work closely with Sales, Customer Service, Finance, Regional Supply Chain and global teams to align priorities and leverage best practice across markets.
  • Use systems, data and digital capabilities to strengthen operational visibility, performance management and process improvement.

You’ll bring:

  • Significant Supply Chain leadership experience with direct accountability for 3PL and outsourced logistics.
  • Strong experience in 3PL contract, SLA and performance management.
  • A track record of delivering measurable service and cost improvements.
  • Strong commercial and financial understanding, including budget and cost-to-serve management.
  • Experience leading teams through transformation and change, developing people and building capability.
  • Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate effectively in a complex matrix organisation.
  • A strategic but hands-on leadership style, with the ability to turn challenges into practical solutions.
  • Excellent communication skills and the credibility to work across functions, markets and organisational levels.
