1What this role really is

This isn't your typical 'Head of' role—let's be frank, it's a mid-level position where you'll be getting your hands dirty, deep in the day-to-day global logistics. You'll own specific processes and projects, making sure our goods move efficiently across borders and oceans. Think of it as being the brain behind a crucial part of our global movement, not the person steering the entire ship just yet. You'll be the go-to person for troubleshooting, data crunching, and making sure our global shipments actually arrive On-Time In-Full (OTIF).

2What you'd actually use

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

Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) / SAP S/4HANA (TM Module)Intermediate

You'll use this daily to execute shipments, track loads, manage bookings, and pull standard reports. You should be comfortable navigating the system and troubleshooting basic errors.

Manhattan Associates WMS / Blue Yonder WMSIntermediate

You'll use the WMS to process inbound and outbound orders, perform cycle counts, and resolve basic inventory discrepancies related to shipping. You'll need to understand how warehouse operations impact logistics.

project44 / FourKitesBasic

You'll use these real-time visibility platforms to track critical shipments, provide status updates to internal teams, and quickly identify potential delays. You should be able to pull basic reports and set up alerts.

Microsoft Power BI / TableauIntermediate

You'll use pre-built dashboards to monitor daily logistics KPIs like OTIF, freight spend, and carrier performance. You should also be able to export data, perform basic analysis in Excel, and create simple visualisations.

Microsoft Excel (Advanced)Advanced

You'll use Excel constantly for data cleaning, ad-hoc analysis, pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and building simple models to compare carrier quotes or analyse freight costs. It's your go-to tool for quick insights.

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.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Carrier Selection for Standard Shipments	Selects from a pre-approved list, all decisions reviewed by supervisor.	Selects independently from an approved carrier list based on cost, service, and lane requirements. Escalates if no suitable option is available or for new lanes.	Designs and manages the carrier selection process, including RFP execution and contract negotiation for specific modes/regions.
Resolving Shipment Delays	Escalates all delays to supervisor and follows prescribed steps.	Independently investigates routine delays, communicates with carriers, and proposes solutions (e.g., rerouting a parcel, expediting documentation). Escalates significant delays or those requiring premium freight.	Leads the resolution of complex, high-impact delays, coordinating multiple internal and external parties. Makes decisions on premium freight spend up to £5K.
Process Improvement Suggestions	Identifies minor inefficiencies and suggests them to supervisor.	Identifies process inefficiencies, analyses potential solutions, and proposes changes to the Logistics Manager. May implement approved minor changes.	Designs and implements significant process improvements across workstreams, often leading small project teams.
Budget Approvals	No budget authority. All spend requires supervisor approval.	Approves routine operational expenses up to £500 (e.g., small parcel surcharges, minor customs fees). Anything above this, or non-routine, needs manager approval.	Manages a specific cost centre budget up to £50K, approving expenditures within that scope. Recommends larger investments to Director.

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.

OTIF (On-Time In-Full) Rate for Assigned Lanes

Measures the percentage of shipments that arrive at the customer's specified time and with the complete order.

Target · 92% for your assigned lanes/modes

If you're responsible for our APAC ocean freight, we'd expect 92% of those containers to arrive on time and with everything accounted for. Missing that means unhappy customers and potential penalties.

Freight Cost Variance

Compares actual freight costs against planned or budgeted costs for specific shipments or lanes you manage.

Target · Within ±3% variance of planned cost

If a shipment to Germany was budgeted at £5,000, and it came in at £5,100, that's a 2% variance – good. If it was £6,000 because of an air freight last-minute decision you didn't flag, we'd need to talk about it.

Carrier Performance Scorecard Compliance

Tracks how well our contracted carriers meet agreed-upon service levels (e.g., tender acceptance, ETA accuracy, damage rates).

Target · Improve compliance from 85% to 92% for key carriers

You'll be checking if Carrier X is accepting 95% of our tenders. If they're only taking 80%, you'll be the one flagging it and working with them to fix it.

Documentation Accuracy & Timeliness

Assesses the correctness and promptness of all shipping documentation (e.g., Bills of Lading, customs declarations, commercial invoices).

Target · 99% accuracy; documents submitted within 4 hours of shipment booking

A single typo on a customs declaration can hold up a £100,000 shipment for days. You'll be making sure that doesn't happen on your watch.

Proactive Problem Solving

How well you anticipate and address potential logistics issues before they become major problems.

You're flagging potential port congestion two weeks out, suggesting alternative routes, or identifying a carrier's declining service before it impacts deliveries. Your manager isn't hearing about problems from customers first.

Stakeholder Communication & Updates

The clarity, frequency, and relevance of your communication with internal teams (Sales, Operations, Finance) and external partners.

Sales knows exactly where their urgent order is without chasing you. Finance gets clear explanations for unexpected freight costs. Carriers feel like you're a fair partner. You're giving regular, concise updates on critical shipments, especially when things go wrong.

Process Improvement Identification

Your ability to spot inefficiencies in current logistics processes and propose practical solutions.

You're suggesting a better way to handle returns, or you've noticed a pattern in documentation errors and proposed a fix. You're not just executing, you're looking for smarter ways to work.

Data-Driven Decision Making

The extent to which your recommendations and actions are backed by sound data analysis.

When you propose a change to a shipping lane or suggest a new carrier, you've got the numbers (cost, transit time, OTIF) to back it up. You're not just going with your gut
you're using the data available.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Solving Complex Puzzles

Every day brings a new logistics challenge – a customs hold, a vessel delay, an unexpected cost. You'll thrive on digging into these problems, pulling data, making calls, and finding the solution that keeps things moving. It's like a constant game of chess with real-world impact.

A critical component is stuck at a port in Rotterdam. You're the one figuring out if it's faster to pay extra to get it offloaded, or if a different carrier can pick it up sooner, weighing up the costs and risks.

Making a Tangible Impact

You'll see the direct results of your work. When a shipment arrives on time because of your quick thinking, or you've identified a £10,000 saving on a new lane, you'll feel that sense of accomplishment. Your efforts aren't abstract; they're concrete.

You implement a new routing guide for a specific trade lane, and within a month, you see a 5% reduction in transit times and a 2% cost saving. That's your impact, clear as day.

Continuous Learning & Improvement

The world of global logistics is always changing—new regulations, new technologies, new geopolitical events. You'll enjoy staying on top of these trends, learning new tools (like a real-time visibility platform), and constantly looking for ways to make our processes better.

You spend an hour each week reading up on new Incoterms® updates or changes in customs regulations for a key market. You're always looking for the next best practice.

What frustrates people

Getting a 'perfect' forecast from Sales that completely ignores a 45-day ocean transit time and port congestion delays.
Being blamed for margin erosion when fuel surcharges and spot market rates are totally outside your control.
The endless battle to get clean, accurate master data (weights, dimensions, HTS codes) in the ERP, which causes nearly every downstream process to break.
Explaining to Finance for the third time why you had to pay a £5,000 air freight premium to prevent a £50,000 factory shutdown that was caused by a supplier's quality issue.
The 'black hole' of visibility when a container is offloaded from a vessel but hasn't yet been mounted on a chassis to leave the port terminal.

What this role does not give you

A predictable, routine 9-to-5 job where everything goes according to plan.
Direct authority over large teams or significant budgets (you'll influence, not command).
A quiet, solitary work environment (you'll be talking to people constantly).
The ability to fix every problem—some things are just out of your hands, and you'll need to accept that.

6Who you work with

This role directly affects our ability to deliver products globally, on time and within budget. Your work helps us avoid costly delays and ensures we meet customer expectations. Get it right, and you're saving us money and keeping customers smiling. Get it wrong, and we're looking at significant financial penalties and damaged customer trust.

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

At least 2-3 years of hands-on experience in a logistics, supply chain, or freight forwarding role, ideally with exposure to international shipping.
Demonstrable experience using a Transportation Management System (TMS) or similar logistics software for daily operations.
Proven ability to analyse data in Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs are a must) and present findings clearly.
A solid understanding of common logistics terminology and processes, including Incoterms®.
Experience working with external carriers or 3PLs, managing their performance and resolving operational issues.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced BI Dashboard Creation & Storytelling

Simply pulling data isn't enough anymore. You'll need to build compelling, interactive dashboards that tell a clear story about logistics performance, making it easy for non-experts to understand complex trends and make decisions. This shifts you from a data reporter to a data storyteller.

Data modelling for complex logistics datasets (TMS · Advanced visualisation techniques in Power BI/Tabl · Creating interactive filters and drill-downs · Performance optimisation for large dashboards · Principles of effective data storytelling and exec

This month: Take an online course on advanced Power BI or Tableau dashboard design.
Month 2: Rebuild one of your existing reports into an interactive dashboard, focusing on user experience.
Month 3: Present your new dashboard to a small internal team and gather feedback.
Month 4: Learn how to connect different data sources (e.g., TMS and WMS data) within your BI tool.

Quick win: Find a particularly messy Excel report you currently use and try to visualise just one key metric in a simple Power BI or Tableau chart. It's a small step, but it builds confidence.

Basic Supply Chain Planning Tool Familiarity

As you grow, you'll need to understand how logistics fits into the bigger supply chain planning picture. While you won't be building models yet, understanding how tools like Anaplan or Coupa SCP work will make your logistics inputs more valuable.

Demand forecasting integration with logistics capa · Inventory optimisation principles · Network design basics (understanding the outputs o · Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process flow · Scenario planning for supply chain disruptions

This month: Ask your manager if you can shadow someone in the Supply Chain Planning team for a few hours.
Month 2: Read an introductory book or online course on supply chain planning concepts.
Month 3: Understand what data inputs logistics provides to the S&OP process and how they're used.
Month 4: Familiarise yourself with the basic interface of an Anaplan or Coupa SCP demo if available.

Quick win: Simply ask more questions about how our demand forecasts are generated and how they impact logistics planning. Curiosity is key here.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Attending industry webinars or conferences focused on global trade, freight forwarding, or supply chain technology.
Joining professional groups like CILT or Supply Chain Excellence forums to network and learn from peers.

Regularly reading industry publications (e.g., Loadstar, Journal of Commerce) to stay current on market trends.

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-Assisted Data Validation & Anomaly Detection

Manual data validation in logistics is incredibly time-consuming and prone to human error. AI tools are getting better at spotting discrepancies in invoices, tracking data, and performance reports much faster and more accurately than a human ever could. This is about working smarter, not harder.

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 Global Head of Logistics 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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, global logistics can be a grind. Chasing updates, auditing invoices, drafting reports—it all eats into your time. But what if you could offload a significant chunk of that busywork? Our AI Productivity Hub is designed to do just that, giving you back precious hours to focus on the truly strategic, complex problems that need your human brain.

As a Global Head of Logistics (Mid-Level), you're constantly juggling data, communications, and unexpected issues. Imagine having an intelligent assistant that handles the repetitive stuff, leaving you free to dig deeper into performance, negotiate better deals, or simply get home on time. This isn't about replacing you; it's about making you significantly more effective.

Automated Freight Audit & Pay

AI can review carrier invoices against our contracted rates, TMS data, and proof-of-delivery documents. It'll automatically flag discrepancies (like a wrong fuel surcharge) and approve correct charges for payment. No more manual line-by-line checks for you, typically saving hours each week.

Predictive ETA & Disruption Sensing

Our AI analyses real-time GPS, weather, traffic, and port congestion data to give you far more accurate ETAs than a carrier's estimate. It'll proactively alert you on shipments at high risk of delay, letting you get ahead of problems before they even hit your inbox. Think of it as a crystal ball for your cargo.

Automated Regulation Research

Ever spent hours digging through obscure customs regulations? Our AI assistant can monitor and summarise changes in international trade rules, customs requirements, or tariffs for your key shipping lanes. You'll get concise, easy-to-digest briefs, saving you loads of research time.

QBR & Performance Narrative Drafting

When it's time for a Quarterly Business Review (QBR) with a carrier, AI can generate the first draft of your presentation. It analyses performance data, summarises key trends, highlights wins, and points out areas for improvement. You just need to refine it, saving you hours of tedious report writing.

Common questions

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 Global Head of Logistics, 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 10 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 Global Head of Logistics: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Operations

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here are highly transferable across various industries—retail, manufacturing, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and even humanitarian aid. Every business that moves goods needs strong logistics talent. You could easily move into a similar role in a different sector or specialise further within a specific area like cold chain logistics or project cargo.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
