This is a high-impact role designed to support and deliver major strategic initiatives across the region, with a strong focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) acceleration, new market entry, and operational excellence.

Reporting directly to the GM, this role has significant visibility with the Senior Leadership Team and Board. While fixed-term (12 months), the expectation is for rapid results – you’ll need to hit the ground running and deliver scalable processes that enable long-term growth.

• Oversee localisation, regulatory readiness, and in-market 3PL partner setup.

Channel Expansion

• Support GM with market expansion and transitions, ensuring continuity and alignment with commercial strategy.

• Manage the roadmap for onboarding new e-tailers, ensuring seamless operational and commercial integration.

Operational & Process Transformation

• Diagnose inefficiencies across digital, supply chain, forecasting, and market operations.

• Implement streamlined processes and tools to improve scalability and efficiency.

• Partner with Finance, Ops, and Commercial teams to build robust forecasting and reporting models.

Cross-Functional Programme Leadership

• Lead multi-workstream transformation projects using Asana.

• Deliver against milestones, budgets, and KPIs with full transparency and governance.

• Build business cases and secure stakeholder alignment across functions and geographies.

Capability & Change Management

• Create scalable playbooks and documentation for market entry and DTC operations.

• Coach teams to embed agile, cross-functional ways of working.

Success Measures (KPIs)

️ Timely launch of new DTC websites across target markets.
️ Fully operational 3PL partnerships meeting SLAs (cost, lead times, CX).
️ Zero downtime or disruption during transitions.
️ Efficiency gains through reduced manual processes and stronger data flow.
️ Successful onboarding of new partners and channels.

• Experience launching Shopify (or equivalent) DTC platforms and setting up 3PL operations.

• Strong change leadership and stakeholder management skills across functions and regions.

• Skilled at building business cases and using data to drive decision-making.

• Digitally savvy; knowledge of ERP, eCommerce tech stacks, and localisation best practices.
