Experience required:


  • A degree in Logistics, Logistics Engineering, Data Analysis, Business Studies, or a related field.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience working in logistics, either with a 3/4PL provider or within an in-house logistics function.
  • Strong data analysis skills with the ability to make informed decisions based on logistics performance data.
  • Experience in managing logistics projects, including tender processes and supplier performance analysis.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional and cross-regional teams to drive logistics improvements.
  • Flexible and willing to travel when needed to support regional needs.

Additional Benefits:


  • Competitive salary of circa £42,000 per annum.
  • Free on-site parking.
  • Hybrid working model, offering flexibility in how you balance remote and office-based work.
  • Opportunity for career development and growth within the logistics team
