About the Role

The business is going through a significant supply chain transformation across ANZ and this role sits right in the middle of that journey. You will own service level performance across the network, manage 3PL and in-house operations, and play a meaningful role in shaping what the future logistics function looks like.

• Identify and implement improvements to network visibility, resilience, and efficiency
• Analyse logistics performance data and translate it into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders
• Collaborate cross-functionally with different business functions
• Contribute to network redesign projects across ANZ

To Be Successful You Will Have

• Solid logistics experience within FMCG or a similarly complex, fast-paced supply chain environment
• A strong understanding of 3PL operations and third-party logistics management
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to use data to drive performance improvement
• The communication skills to influence and partner with senior stakeholders and external providers
• A continuous improvement mindset and an appetite to contribute to transformation
• Comfortable working in an environment that is evolving and fast moving

What’s on Offer

• A newly created role with real scope to shape how logistics is done across a large ANZ network
• Exposure to strong, experienced leadership in a stable, high-performing environment
• A business renowned for developing its people and moving them laterally and upwards
• Clear development pathways with a business that has a track record of promoting from within
• Collaborative culture and experienced supply chain professionals around you
• A step-up opportunity with a clear career pathway for the right person
• Competitive salary package plus super
