*Current right to work in the UK required*

Exclusive Logistics Category Manager opportunity with an expanding, global, multi-£bn manufacturing that is currently undergoing a major logistics transformation to consolidate spend at a national level. Currently, there are hundreds of sites largely conducting their own tenders. You will take ownership of the £100m logistics procurement category, play a key role in driving this transformation and manage relationships with senior stakeholders including MD, FD, SLT etc.

Driving ESG will also be a huge focus of this role.

To be suitable, the client is looking for:

  • Candidates that have managed logistics spend in the tens of £millions (ideally at least £60 million, >£100m desirable), ideally with the larger logistics suppliers/carriers
  • Ideally 4-5+ years of relevant experience across both logistics and procurement
  • Experienced influencing senior stakeholders, up to MD level

Positive work culture and progression opportunities which I can personally vouch for having placed 50+ candidates into their procurement and supply chain teams across the UK, Europe and US.

The role is fully remote, with occasional travel to suppliers/sites and offers a competitive salary plus bonus, car (or car allowance) and broader benefits.

If this is of interest - please apply asap.
