1What this role really is

This isn't just a job; it's about shaping the very backbone of our business. As VP, Global Supply Chain, you'll be the architect of our end-to-end logistics, trade compliance, and operational strategy, making sure our products get where they need to be, on time and within budget, no matter what the world throws at us. You're the one who connects the dots from raw materials to customer delivery, thinking years ahead, not just quarters.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

SAP S/4HANA (GTS Module)Strategic/Architect

You'll be leading the strategic direction for GTS module enhancements, designing enterprise-wide compliance workflows, and overseeing its integration with new business units or M&A activities. You won't be in the system daily, but you'll understand its full capabilities and limitations.

WiseTech Global (CargoWise One)Strategic/Architect

You'll be evaluating and selecting TMS platforms, managing vendor relationships at a strategic level, and overseeing system integration with ERP and WMS across the global network. You're thinking about how it fits into the overall tech stack.

Power BI / Tableau (Executive Dashboards)Strategic/Architect

You'll be architecting the entire logistics and supply chain BI strategy. You'll consume and present insights from executive dashboards to the CEO and Board to drive strategic decisions, challenging your team on the underlying data and its interpretation.

Advanced Supply Chain Planning (e.g., Kinaxis, Blue Yonder)Strategic/Architect

You'll be defining the requirements for and overseeing the implementation of advanced planning systems to optimise demand forecasting, inventory, and production scheduling across the global network. This is about leveraging these tools for competitive advantage.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Total Supply Chain Cost as % of Revenue

The overall cost of procuring, manufacturing, shipping, and storing goods, expressed as a percentage of our total company revenue.

Target · Reduce from 7.5% to 6.0% over 3 years

If our revenue is £100M and supply chain costs are £7.5M, that's 7.5%. Your goal might be to get that down to £6M, saving £1.5M annually.

Global Order-to-Delivery Lead Time

The average time from a customer placing an order to them receiving the product, across all major trade lanes.

Target · Decrease average lead time by 20% across key markets within 2 years

Reducing the average lead time from 40 days to 32 days for our top 5 markets, directly improving customer satisfaction and cash flow.

Compliance Audit Score (Internal & External)

The rating received from internal audits and external customs/regulatory bodies on our adherence to global trade laws and internal policies.

Target · Achieve 'low risk' or 'fully compliant' rating on all major external audits; maintain >95% internal audit score

Successfully passing a HMRC or CBP audit with no material findings, demonstrating robust controls and procedures.

Supply Chain Resilience Index

A composite score measuring our ability to withstand and recover from disruptions, based on supplier diversification, inventory buffers, and alternative logistics routes.

Target · Increase index score by 15% year-on-year

Successfully navigating a major port closure by quickly rerouting 80% of affected shipments through alternative hubs, minimising impact on customer delivery.

Strategic Influence & Board Confidence

How much the executive team and Board trust your strategic recommendations and rely on your insights for major business decisions.

You'll be regularly invited to present supply chain strategy to the Board, your input will be sought on M&A targets, and you'll be seen as the go-to expert for global market dynamics. Essentially, you're shaping the company's future, not just reacting to it.

Talent Development & Organisational Health

The strength and capability of your direct reports and the wider supply chain organisation, including succession planning.

You'll have a clear succession plan for your direct reports, a low regrettable attrition rate within your department, and a reputation for developing future leaders. Your team will be seen as a talent pipeline for other parts of the business.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Alignment

How effectively you get different departments (Sales, Product, Finance, Legal) working together on supply chain initiatives.

You'll chair regular cross-functional steering committees that actually make decisions. Sales will proactively consult your team before making delivery promises, and Product will involve you early in new product development. Less 'us vs. them', more 'we'.

External Reputation & Industry Leadership

Our standing in the industry for supply chain innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence.

You'll be speaking at industry conferences, our company will be recognised for supply chain best practices, and we'll attract top talent because of our reputation in this space. You're not just running a supply chain
you're helping define what a modern supply chain looks like.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Transformational Impact

You'll get a real kick out of seeing your long-term strategies come to life, knowing that your decisions are fundamentally reshaping how our company operates globally. It's about building something lasting and truly impactful.

Successfully implementing a new global logistics network that reduces costs by 15% and opens up new markets for the business.

Navigating Complexity & Solving Grand Challenges

You thrive on untangling complex, multi-faceted problems that span continents and involve numerous variables. The bigger the puzzle, the more energised you are. Geopolitical shifts, trade wars, port strikes – these are your playgrounds.

Developing a contingency plan that allows the company to pivot quickly in response to a major unforeseen global event, like a canal blockage or a new trade tariff.

Leading and Developing High-Performing Teams

You love coaching, mentoring, and empowering your leadership team to achieve ambitious goals. Seeing your directors and managers grow and succeed under your guidance is a huge source of satisfaction.

Building a diverse and highly capable global supply chain leadership team, with clear succession plans for critical roles.

What frustrates people

Dealing with internal resistance to necessary, large-scale change initiatives.
Managing the fallout from unforeseen global events (e.g., pandemics, geopolitical conflicts) that completely upend your plans.
Balancing aggressive growth targets from Sales with the practical realities and risks of global logistics.
Justifying significant capital expenditure for supply chain improvements to a Board focused purely on short-term returns.
The sheer weight of responsibility for multi-million pound budgets and enterprise-level risk.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable routine with minimal surprises.
The luxury of always having perfect information before making critical decisions.
A role where you can avoid executive-level presentations and tough negotiations.
A focus solely on tactical execution rather than long-term strategy.
The ability to delegate away all responsibility for major failures or compliance breaches.

6Who you work with

This role is absolutely critical for our enterprise. You'll directly influence our P&L by optimising costs, reducing lead times, and mitigating risks across the entire supply chain. Your decisions will shape our ability to enter new markets, launch new products, and respond to global events. Frankly, without a strong leader here, the company's growth ambitions are dead in the water. You're not just managing a function; you're driving enterprise strategy and ensuring our long-term viability.

20+ years of progressively senior leadership experience in global supply chain, logistics, or international trade, with at least 5 years at a Director or VP level.
Proven track record of managing multi-million pound P&L responsibility and driving significant cost savings and efficiency improvements across a complex global network.

Deep expertise in global trade compliance (customs, export controls, sanctions) and a history of successfully navigating complex regulatory environments.
Experience in digital transformation initiatives within supply chain, including the selection and implementation of major ERP (e.g., SAP GTS) and TMS platforms.
Strong understanding of manufacturing, procurement, and inventory management principles at an enterprise scale.
Exceptional executive presence, communication, and negotiation skills, with a track record of influencing at Board level.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Quantum Computing & Advanced Optimisation

Quantum computing, while nascent, promises to solve optimisation problems (like global routing or network design) that are currently intractable for even the most powerful classical computers. This could unlock unprecedented efficiencies.

Quantum Annealing · Supply Chain Quantum Algorithms · Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing

This year: Monitor developments in quantum computing, particularly its application to logistics and supply chain optimisation.
Next 2-3 years: Engage with research institutions and start-ups exploring quantum applications for supply chain.
Long-term: Evaluate potential pilot projects for quantum-inspired optimisation in highly complex areas.

Quick win: Read a few executive summaries on quantum computing's potential impact on logistics. No need to become a physicist, just understand the strategic implications.

Blockchain for Supply Chain Transparency & Traceability

Blockchain offers immutable, transparent records for every step of a product's journey, addressing critical needs for authenticity, compliance, and ethical sourcing. This will become a standard for high-value goods and regulated industries.

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) · Smart Contracts · Provenance Tracking

This year: Understand the current state of blockchain adoption in supply chain, identifying successful use cases.
Next 1-2 years: Explore potential pilot projects for blockchain-based traceability for a specific product line or supplier.
Long-term: Assess the feasibility of integrating blockchain into our core compliance and sourcing processes.

Quick win: Identify a high-value or highly regulated product where enhanced traceability would provide immediate business value (e.g., reducing fraud, proving ethical sourcing) and research existing blockchain solutions.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend and speak at major international supply chain and trade conferences (e.g., CSCMP, WTO Public Forum).

Maintain an active network with other C-suite supply chain leaders and industry experts to share insights and best practices.
Engage with academic institutions on cutting-edge supply chain research and emerging technologies.
Serve on the board of an industry association or relevant non-profit organisation to maintain external perspective and influence.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Driven Supply Chain Orchestration

AI is rapidly moving beyond optimisation to truly orchestrate complex, real-time supply chains. Competitors will use it to predict demand, manage inventory, route shipments, and even automate negotiations with unprecedented speed and accuracy. If we don't, we'll be left behind.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how VP, Global Supply Chain is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

At the C-suite level, your time is gold. Imagine if you could cut through the noise, get critical insights faster, and empower your teams with tools that free them up for higher-value work. That's exactly what AI can do for our global supply chain.

We're not just talking about automating simple tasks. We're talking about AI as a strategic partner, helping you anticipate market shifts, optimise complex networks, and make data-driven decisions that impact the entire enterprise. Think less 'busy work' and more 'breakthrough insights'.

Strategic Scenario Planning with AI

AI models can simulate the impact of geopolitical events, new trade tariffs, or major disruptions on our supply chain. You'll get instant insights into potential costs, lead time changes, and alternative strategies, allowing you to make proactive, informed decisions for the Board. No more guessing games.

Executive Insight Generation

Forget sifting through endless reports. AI can summarise complex global logistics data, identify key trends, flag critical risks, and even draft initial executive summaries for your Board presentations. You'll get the 'so what?' faster, leaving you more time for strategic thought and less for data aggregation.

Proactive Compliance Risk Assessment

AI can continuously monitor global trade regulations, identify potential compliance gaps in our operations, and even predict areas of heightened audit risk. This means you can proactively address issues before they become costly fines or reputational damage. It's like having a virtual compliance lawyer on 24/7 watch.

Automated Negotiation & Contract Analysis

AI tools can analyse historical carrier contracts, identify optimal terms, and even draft initial negotiation points for major 3PL agreements. This gives your team a significant advantage in securing the best rates and service levels, directly impacting our bottom line. Think smart, data-backed negotiations.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a VP, Global Supply Chain, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 2 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a VP, Global Supply Chain: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
