Job Description

Job Description: Global Logistics Director (Network Transformation & Growth)

The Global Logistics Director is responsible for the radical evolution of our global logistics footprint. This leader will inherit a fragmented, suboptimized legacy network and transform it into a high-velocity, scalable, and digitally-enabled engine.

Your primary mission is to bridge the gap between our current state and our growth ambitions. You will lead the "Network Re-engineering" agenda-standardizing disparate regional processes, consolidating inefficient lanes, and deploying modern technology-to create a unified global logistics organization. This is a "Builder" role that requires a balance of strategic network design and hands-on operational turnaround.

Key Responsibilities

1. Network Re-engineering & Optimization


* Network "Reset": Conduct a comprehensive audit of the current suboptimized footprint; lead the consolidation or relocation of warehouses and hubs to eliminate redundancies and reduce total landed cost.
* Flow Synchronization: Transform fragmented inbound and outbound flows into a synchronized global network, reducing lead-time variability and "safety stock" requirements.
* Standardization of Excellence: Replace regional "silos" with a unified Global Operating Model, ensuring consistent KPIs, safety standards, and service levels across all geographies.
* Scalable Infrastructure: Build the "foundation for growth" by ensuring the re-engineered network can handle 2x-3x current transaction volumes without linear cost increases.
2. Logistics Turnaround & Performance


* Root-Cause Modernization: Identify chronic service failures or cost leakages in the current network and implement structural (not just tactical) fixes.
* Cost-to-Serve Transparency: Develop granular visibility into logistics spend by region and product line, moving the organization from "budget-tracking" to "margin-management."
* Service Recovery: Establish a culture of "Zero-Defect" logistics, prioritizing On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) delivery as a non-negotiable standard for industrial customers.
3. Digital & Automation Leapfrogging


* Legacy-to-Digital Migration: Lead the transition from manual/spreadsheet-based logistics to a fully integrated TMS, WMS, and Global Control Tower environment.
* Targeted Automation: Identify high-impact opportunities for warehouse automation and AI-driven route optimization to bypass manual bottlenecks in the current suboptimized setup.
* Predictive Analytics: Shift the organization from reactive "firefighting" to proactive scenario planning using advanced network modeling tools.
4. Strategic Partner & Trade Management


* Provider Consolidation: Rationalize a fragmented 3PL/carrier base; negotiate global master service agreements that leverage our total scale to drive down rates and improve service priority.
* Trade Lane Design: Optimize international trade corridors and customs strategies to accelerate velocity and minimize the "friction" of cross-border movements.
* Make vs. Buy Strategy: Determine which core competencies should be insourced for control and which should be outsourced for flexibility and scale.
5. Change Leadership & Capability Building


* Cultural Transformation: Lead the change management required to shift regional teams from "local-first" thinking to a "global-network" mindset.
* Talent
