Job description

Position Global Logistics Performance, Cost and Sustainability Lead

Logistikchef

Do you thrive on turning complex logistics challenges into clear priorities and measurable results? This is an opportunity to shape the global logistics agenda across cost, service, and sustainability, deciding what matters most, when, and why, and making the case that moves it.

About the job

You own the global logistics performance framework and agenda, ensuring that cost, service, and CO₂ objectives are translated into prioritized actions across the logistics network. Acting as a strategic and steering partner, you bring business cases, recommendations, and trade‑off analyses that support informed decision‑making and long‑term development.

This is a horizontal, steering role. You own priorities and trade‑offs, not execution: carrier selection, tendering, routing, and day‑to‑day transport operations sit with the transport and carrier‑management function. The role has no direct reports, and its influence comes from evidence and framing rather than line authority.

Job responsibilities

• Own and develop the logistics performance system, including cost, service, and CO₂ metrics, dashboards, and reporting.
• Drive logistics priorities and maintain a focused portfolio of initiatives with clear sequencing and business impact.
• Build and present business cases, scenarios, and recommendations related to logistics cost and sustainability improvements.
• Lead governance activities such as performance reviews, quarterly business reviews, and executive‑level discussions.
• Steer priorities and frame trade‑offs across Transport, Finance, Planning, Procurement, and Digital, building alignment through evidence rather than authority.
• Monitor logistics performance trends and translate insights into actionable recommendations and long‑term roadmaps.
• Own the logistics CO₂ agenda including baseline, targets, and tracking, and bring it into performance reviews and executive discussions.

Location and flexibility

The position is based in Fagersta, Västberga, or another location in Europe close to a Seco site. We offer a hybrid way of working with flexibility to combine office and remote work.

Your profile

You bring a strong background in logistics and supply chain performance, with experience working across complex distribution or logistics networks. Rather than focusing on local operations, you’re used to shaping priorities and driving improvements at a network level. A data‑driven approach comes naturally, and you back recommendations with quantified insights and measurable business outcomes.

Your background includes:

• Experience owning or influencing logistics performance across a regional or global logistics network, including cost, service, and sustainability metrics.
• A track record of delivering measurable business results through business cases, trade‑off analyses, and performance improvement initiatives.
• Experience translating data and analytics into clear recommendations for senior decision‑makers.
• Proven ability to influence outcomes across multiple functions such as Transport, Finance, Planning, Procurement, and Digital teams without formal line authority.
• Knowledge of sustainability and CO₂‑related topics in logistics, including performance measurement and improvement initiatives.

Success comes from combining strategic thinking with the confidence to challenge assumptions using facts and evidence. You’re comfortable navigating different stakeholder perspectives, building alignment across functions, and creating momentum through influence rather than authority. Naturally curious, you focus on the bigger picture while turning complexity into clear priorities and actionable decisions.
