You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform with discounts, a cycle-to-work scheme, cashback cards, savings schemes, and more. GXO University offers opportunities for skill development and qualifications, with a strong focus on internal promotions, last year over 55% of roles were filled internally.

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Manage budgets, ensuring KPIs and contract targets are met, and contribute to quarterly cost budgets.
• Develop and maintain relationships with the customer through regular reviews.
• Design and implement reporting for internal and external stakeholders.
• Lead, coach, and develop your team; oversee all HR processes during employment.

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• Proven experience in a senior management role within a high-profile environment.
• Understanding of commercial mechanisms and P&L management, with success in delivering costs and KPIs.
• Experience building strong business relationships with internal and external customers.
• Knowledge of legal and audit compliance requirements for large distribution centers.
