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

We’re looking for a Logistics Transformation Manager to help shape the future of how we move, store and deliver the products that bring our brands to life around the world.

In this role, you’ll sit at the heart of our supply chain, ensuring the seamless end-to-end movement of goods from sourcing materials internationally to delivering finished products to our customers. You’ll bring both strategic insight and hands-on problem-solving, working across functions to improve efficiency, unlock innovation, and deliver transformation at scale.

As a Transformation Manager you will:

• Drive transformation across logistics operations, from supplier to customer, delivering sustainable improvements in efficiency and effectiveness.
• Act as a subject matter expert in logistics best practices, integrating your knowledge with related disciplines to deliver cross-functional success.
• Lead and influence projects with moderate scope and risk, collaborating across global teams to deliver measurable outcomes.
• Solve complex challenges by applying fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to existing processes.
• Act as a trusted advisor and resource for colleagues, sharing expertise to build capability across the team.

You’ll bring a blend of operational know-how and transformational thinking, with the confidence to lead initiatives that make a measurable difference.
