The Challenge: Think Big. Act Fast. Own the Results. Are you a Logistics & Operations leader trapped in bureaucratic red tape? This is not a role for a spectator. Backed by a powerhouse Private Equity firm, this is a high-growth, fiercely ambitious global consumer products business that is rewriting the rules of it's industry across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. To fuel its relentless trajectory, we are looking to Acquire a commercially astute, energetic Global Operations Director,
You will have the ear of an exceptional, global Executive Leadership Team. Your mission? Enhance a rapidly expanding multi-region network into a single, high-performing global centre of operational excellence.
The Best of Both Worlds: Corporate Blueprint meets Entrepreneurial Grit
We are looking for a unique hybrid. You’ve likely spent time in global multinationals, so you understand matrixed structures, robust governance, and sophisticated systems. But you also possess the entrepreneurial fire required for a high-growth mid-sized business Meaning you are just as comfortable designing a five-year global strategy as you are diving into the data to fix a bottleneck in a regional hub.
What You’ll Actually Do:
- Architect the Future: Define and execute a scalable global operating model across the consolidation hub in China, six owned warehouses, and extensive 3PL network.
- Command the Matrix: Lead, mentor,
and inspire an extended team of 30+ cross-cultural professionals across the US, China, and Western Australia.
- Master the Unit Economics: Own the end-to-end cost-to-serve. Drive international inbound freight from China, manage Incoterms, optimise landed costs, and keep last-mile carriers fiercely accountable.
- Champion Innovation & Sustainability: Standardise the global ERP, WMS, and freight platforms for a single source of truth, while simultaneously pioneering eco-friendly packaging and green freight initiatives.
- Protect the People: Cultivate a proactive, behavior-led safety culture where looking out for one another is an everyday norm.
Are You Who We’re Looking For?
You are a decisive, data-driven leader with an execution mindset. You don't just manage underperformance; you decisively step in and fix it.
Your credentials:
- The Blueprint: 12+ years of senior logistics leadership within a matrixed, global environment.
- The Expertise: Deep, hands-on mastery of international freight (ex-Asia/China), complex 3PL governance, and offshore pick-and-pack operations.
- The Sector Experience: Consumer goods or wholesale experience is a massive plus, but your end-to-end supply chain mastery and commercial acumen are what matter most.
- The Pedigree: A Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, or Business (an MBA will really make you stand out).
