Group Head of Logistics & Operations

Group Head of Logistics & Operations

Exclusive Search suiting candidates in the London/Cambridge/Herts/Essex Area (M11 accessible)

Salary: Executive Level+ bonus + car allowance

Sector: Consumer products Omnichannel Global distribution

We are partnering with a highly successful international consumer goods business that has scaled rapidly and is now reshaping its operations to support its next phase of growth. The business has moved beyond a UK-centric, largely centralised model and is now building a scalable global distribution network spanning owned warehousing and strategic 3PL partnerships across Europe and the US, with future consideration for Asia.

This is a build-and-scale role, not a "run the status quo" position. This newly created role has a clear mandate: design, build and lead a fit-for-growth logistics and distribution operation that can support a global business.

The Role

Reporting directly to the COO, you will take ownership of all logistics and distribution activity across multiple regions and channels. This includes:

• Designing and implementing a multi-region distribution network (UK, EU, US)
• Defining the role of owned warehouses vs 3PL partners
• Leading EU and US 3PL selection, onboarding and performance management
• Developing an inbound freight strategy from Asia
• Improving service, cost, inventory flow and visibility across regions
• Building structure, consistency and governance across operations
• Leading and developing regional logistics teams as the business scales

What We're Looking For

• Senior logistics or operations leadership experience in an international, fast-growing business
• Proven experience designing and scaling distribution networks, not just managing a single territory
• Strong background working with 3PLs across Europe and/or the US
• Experience supporting ecommerce, B2B and wholesale channels
• Comfortable operating in change, ambiguity and growth
• Happy with international travel

If you've built global logistics capability in a scaling consumer or product-led business and are looking for a role where you can genuinely shape the future state, this is a rare opportunity. Shortlisting now, interviewing in April - Don't wait, reach out for a confidential conversation.
