You can demonstrate:

- Proven leadership in large-scale DC, FMCG or retail logistics operations
- Full P&L accountability, including budgeting, cost efficiency, and CI delivery
- Success in coaching and developing leaders to build capability at scale
- Skilled stakeholder management with the ability to build trusted relationships
- Experience leading large workforces through change and transformation
- Advantageous: exposure to unionised environments

What's in it for me?
