Our Supply Chain and Manufacturing team are problem-solvers, sourcing, producing, and delivering our much-loved brands to delight customers around the globe. Over half of Diageo’s 30,000+ people work in Supply Chain and Manufacturing. It’s an intricate and sophisticated operation that’s the product of logistical, manufacturing, and technical collaborations.

Our teams in 100 sites in over 30 countries cover production facilities, supplier relationships, customer collaborations and third-party agreements. We’re committed to realising our ‘Society 2030: Spirit of Progress’ goals, to protect the environment and support our farmers and suppliers. Whatever your skills and experience, we’ll help you to thrive in our inclusive culture.

About the Role

Diageo is undertaking an exciting, large-scale business transformation programme, Project Voyager, designed to equip our business with world-class processes, systems and data. This programme will help us achieve our ambition of being the best-performing, most trusted and respected consumer products company in the world. Project Voyager, which includes the implementation of global process ownership, will drive long-term growth by simplifying and streamlining end-to-end business processes, improving decision-making through cleaner, near real-time data, and underpinning these improvements with best-in-class technology solutions. The programme will run over multiple years and has a global reach.

As Global Process Manager, you will play a key role in delivering these benefits by leading and supporting change across the logistics function. You will drive adoption of new processes, systems and data solutions, ensuring that changes are embedded successfully across your teams and markets.

You will lead the change journey for your colleagues, ensuring they understand, feel confident and are ready to transition to new ways of working, enhanced technology solutions, simplified processes and improved data capabilities. You will work closely with the wider Voyager and Global Process Ownership teams, including Subject Matter Experts, deployment teams, data support, and trainers, to implement change plans, support training activities, and ensure smooth system and process roll-out.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading the engagement and influence of market and function leadership to secure active sponsorship and integration of process changes into business planning.
• Understanding how process, system and data changes impact logistics teams, and designing mitigation plans, including communications, training and risk management.
• Creating and delivering communications and engagement strategies across multiple channels (e.g., email, Town Halls, face-to-face briefings, internal platforms), ensuring two-way feedback and addressing emerging challenges.
• Supporting training needs assessments and onboarding of trainers and SMEs, mapping local user groups to learning programmes, and supervising execution of training plans.
• Supporting localisation and validation of system access and role mapping to ensure operational continuity.
• Coordinating and reporting on logistics readiness activities, including testing, data validation, user acceptance testing (UAT), and local risk assessments.
• Driving process standards, including process mapping, KPI monitoring, compliance and process health across logistics.

This is a high-impact role requiring a proactive, influential individual with strong logistics expertise, capable of leading change and ensuring operational stability during this global transformation.

About You

You are a proactive and influential individual who thrives on collaboration and driving meaningful outcomes. You build strong relationships across all levels of the organisation and are able to guide and inspire others through change.

• Well-connected and respected by peers, with an ability to influence and achieve results through collaboration.
• Deep understanding of logistics, able to quickly grasp how new solutions impact processes and operations.
• Flexible and open to change, able to adapt priorities based on evolving needs and confidently manage ambiguity.
• Strong organisational, planning and project management skills, ensuring initiatives are delivered efficiently and effectively.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, able to deliver messages clearly and with impact.
• Proficient in a range of tools for planning and communication, including PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Yammer, Teams, data analysis and value stream mapping.
• Experienced in SAP processes and data within logistics, with the ability to use technology to drive improvements.
