3What this role really is

A Global Supply Chain and Logistics Manager moves goods from suppliers to customers across countries, on time and within cost.

4What you'd actually use

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

SAP S/4HANA (MM, SD, EWM modules) Strategic

You'll be defining data governance policies, leading module implementation/upgrade projects, and integrating SAP data with enterprise planning tools. Your focus is on how the system supports strategic objectives, not just transactional execution.

Blue Yonder TMS (Transportation Management System) Architect

You'll be leading TMS selection and integration, designing the overall transportation network strategy within the platform, and negotiating enterprise carrier contracts based on its capabilities. You'll understand its full potential and how to extract maximum value.

Manhattan WMS (Warehouse Management System) Strategic

You'll oversee WMS configuration for new facilities, champion automation initiatives (e.g., ASRS integration), and link WMS data to labour planning and inventory optimisation. You're thinking about how the WMS supports the wider supply chain strategy.

Kinaxis RapidResponse (Concurrent Planning Suite) Architect

You'll be designing the end-to-end concurrent planning process, defining S&OP scenarios for executive review, and championing the business case for new capabilities within the platform. You'll be using it to model complex trade-offs and drive strategic decisions.

Power BI (Data Visualisation) Strategic

You'll manage Power BI Premium capacity, define enterprise-wide visualisation standards, and present key insights to the C-suite via executive dashboards. You'll be using it to tell the story of your supply chain performance and drive action.

MS Excel (Advanced Modelling) Strategic

You'll be auditing complex financial models built by your team, using it for high-level business case development before system implementation, and performing quick, complex scenario analyses. You'll be comfortable with Power Query, Solver, and advanced formulas.

Anaplan (Executive Planning) Advanced

You'll collaborate closely with Finance to model the P&L impact of supply chain decisions – things like inventory holding costs, expedited freight, and network changes. You'll understand how your operational decisions affect the company's financial health.

5What 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 choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Carrier Selection & Contract Negotiation Propose carrier options based on predefined criteria; no negotiation authority. Negotiate spot rates for specific shipments; recommend preferred carriers for routine lanes. Lead negotiations for regional carrier contracts (up to £50K value); select carriers for new lanes.
Inventory Strategy & Policy Execute inventory transfers based on system recommendations; report discrepancies. Adjust safety stock parameters within defined limits; propose inventory rebalancing actions. Design and implement inventory optimisation projects for specific product families; make recommendations on ABC/XYZ classification.
Process Improvement & Automation Follow existing SOPs; identify minor process inefficiencies. Propose and implement small-scale process improvements (e.g., new checklist, minor system tweak). Lead medium-scale process re-engineering projects (e.g., optimising a specific warehouse flow); define requirements for system enhancements.
Team Management & Development Manage own workload; seek guidance from manager. Informally mentor new joiners; provide peer feedback. Mentor 1-2 junior team members; provide input on performance reviews.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Total Landed Cost Reduction
The overall reduction in the cost of getting a product from our supplier's door to our customer's hands, including freight, duties, warehousing, and handling.
Target · Achieve a 5-8% year-on-year reduction without compromising service levels.

If our total landed cost for a specific product line was £1.2M last year, your target would be to bring that down to around £1.1M by optimising freight routes, negotiating better rates, or improving inventory placement.

On-Time In-Full (OTIF) Delivery Rate
The percentage of customer orders delivered completely and on the promised date.
Target · Maintain 95% OTIF for international shipments.

Out of 1,000 international orders, if 950 arrived on the correct day with all items present, you're hitting target. If it drops to 900, we'll be asking 'why?'

Inventory Holding Cost Optimisation
Reducing the capital tied up in inventory across our global network while still meeting demand, measured as a percentage of COGS.
Target · Reduce global inventory holding costs by 10-15% annually.

By implementing better safety stock calculations or improving forecast accuracy, you might free up £500K in working capital that was previously sitting in slow-moving stock.

Supply Chain Resilience Score
A composite score reflecting our ability to withstand and recover from disruptions, based on metrics like supplier diversification, lead time variability, and contingency plan readiness.
Target · Improve score by 10% year-on-year, particularly in high-risk lanes.

After a major port disruption, if our ability to reroute shipments or switch suppliers improved, that would contribute positively to this score, showing we're learning and adapting.

Strategic Partner Relationships
How well you build and maintain relationships with our key freight forwarders, 3PLs, and customs brokers. Are they truly partners, or just vendors?
  • Partners proactively bring ideas for cost savings or service improvements. They're willing to go the extra mile during disruptions. You're seen as a trusted contact, not just a transactional client. Feedback from your team confirms strong external relationships.
Team Development & Mentorship
Your ability to grow and develop your direct reports, building a stronger, more capable logistics team.
  • Direct reports show clear progression in their skills and responsibilities. They feel supported and challenged. You're regularly providing constructive feedback and creating development opportunities. We see a low voluntary turnover rate within your team.
Cross-functional Influence
Your ability to get other departments (like Sales, Finance, Product) to understand and support supply chain initiatives, even when it means tough trade-offs.
  • You're regularly invited to strategic planning meetings outside of your direct remit. Other departments seek your input before making decisions that impact logistics. You can get buy-in for changes that might be unpopular but are good for the business long-term.
Process Maturity & Documentation
The robustness and clarity of the processes you own. Are they well-defined, understood, and consistently followed?
  • We have clear, up-to-date SOPs for all critical logistics functions. New team members can quickly get up to speed using documented processes. Audits show high compliance. Fewer 'one-off' solutions and more repeatable, scalable processes.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Global Puzzles

You'll be figuring out how to get a new product launched in 10 countries simultaneously, navigating different customs rules, carrier networks, and warehouse capacities. It's like a giant, ever-changing logistical jigsaw puzzle.

Successfully designing a new distribution network for a product launch that hits all regional deadlines and comes in under budget, despite unexpected port congestion.

Driving Tangible Financial Impact

Your decisions directly translate into pounds saved or gained. Negotiating a better freight rate, optimising inventory, or streamlining a process will have a clear, measurable effect on our P&L.

Identifying and implementing a new freight consolidation strategy that saves the company £500K in annual shipping costs for a specific region.

Building and Developing a High-Performing Team

You'll be coaching your team, helping them grow, and seeing them take on bigger challenges. Their successes will be your successes, and you'll get a real kick out of seeing them develop.

Mentoring a junior analyst who, under your guidance, successfully takes ownership of a key carrier relationship and improves their performance metrics significantly.

What frustrates people
  • The Tyranny of the Urgent: Your carefully planned week will get completely derailed by a VP's 'emergency' request to air-freight a pallet to Germany, blowing your budget in the process. It happens, regularly.
  • Garbage In, Garbage Out: Our ERP and planning systems are only as good as the data. You'll spend a frustrating amount of time correcting inaccurate supplier lead times, minimum order quantities, and pricing instead of doing strategic work.
  • The Black Hole of In-Transit: A container will be 'somewhere in the Pacific.' The carrier's tracking portal won't have updated in four days, and stakeholders will want to know its exact ETA down to the hour. Good luck with that.
  • Getting Blamed for External Events: You'll be held accountable for OTIF metrics that are destroyed by a port strike, a sudden customs inspection, or a typhoon in the South China Sea—events you have zero control over. You'll need a thick skin and good data to explain.
  • The Sales vs. Ops Tug-of-War: Constantly battling unrealistic delivery promises made by the sales team to close a deal, leaving you to manage the customer's disappointment and the operational fallout.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, 9-to-5 routine. Global logistics doesn't sleep, and neither do its problems.
  • Complete control over all variables. You'll be managing a lot of external partners and events.
  • A quiet, solitary work environment. You'll be talking to people constantly, both internally and externally.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts our profitability through cost management, customer satisfaction through on-time delivery, and overall business resilience by building a robust and adaptable supply chain. You're essentially the guardian of our physical product flow, which is pretty fundamental to an international business.

Inside the business
  • Head of Manufacturing
  • Commercial Directors (Sales)
  • Finance Business Partners
  • Product Management Leads
  • Regional Operations Managers
Outside the business
  • Key Freight Forwarders and Carriers
  • 3PL Warehouse Providers
  • Customs Brokers and Regulatory Bodies
  • Technology Vendors (e.g., TMS, WMS providers)

9What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (at least 5-8 years) in a senior supply chain or logistics role, specifically dealing with international operations.
  • A track record of leading significant process improvement or cost-saving initiatives in a complex logistics environment.
  • Demonstrable experience managing and developing a small team of professionals.
  • Solid understanding of end-to-end supply chain processes, from planning and sourcing to delivery and reverse logistics.
  • Advanced proficiency with at least one major ERP system (e.g., SAP S/4HANA) and a TMS/WMS.
  • Strong analytical skills, including advanced Excel and experience with data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI).

10What to practise next

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

API Integration & Data Orchestration

Modern supply chains rely on seamless data flow between disparate systems (ERP, TMS, WMS, external tracking). As a manager, you'll need to understand how APIs connect these systems and how to orchestrate data for end-to-end visibility and automation.

Understanding API Fundamentals · Data Lakes & Warehouses · Real-time Data Streams · Data Governance Principles

  • This quarter: Work with our IT team to understand our current system architecture and how data flows between our core logistics platforms.
  • Next 6 months: Research different data integration platforms (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi) and their application in supply chain. Attend a webinar or two.
  • Month 7-12: Lead a project to improve data quality or integration for a specific critical data set (e.g., supplier lead times).
  • Ongoing: Advocate for robust data governance practices within your team and across the organisation.

Quick win: Ask your team to map out the current data flow for a critical process (e.g., order to delivery). You'll quickly spot the manual handoffs and potential for automation.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending industry conferences and webinars (e.g., CSCMP, Gartner Supply Chain Symposium) to stay abreast of the latest trends and network with peers.
  • Participating in professional forums or special interest groups focused on global logistics or supply chain technology.
  • Reading key industry publications and thought leadership pieces (e.g., Supply Chain Dive, Logistics Management) to keep your knowledge current.
  • Seeking out opportunities to mentor junior professionals, which helps solidify your own understanding and leadership skills.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, managing a global supply chain is complex. You're juggling a million variables, from port congestion to customs declarations, all while trying to keep costs down and customers happy. What if you could offload some of the heavy lifting and focus more on strategy and less on firefighting? That's exactly where AI comes in.

We're not talking about robots taking over your job; we're talking about smart tools that act as your personal assistant, crunching data, flagging risks, and even drafting communications. Imagine spending less time sifting through spreadsheets and more time making impactful decisions. Our AI Productivity Hub is designed to put these tools directly into your hands.

Automated Invoice Auditing & Discrepancy Flagging

AI scans all your freight invoices, proof-of-delivery documents, and rate cards. It automatically flags any discrepancies in mileage, fuel surcharges, or accessorial fees against your contracts, routing only the exceptions to your team for review. This saves hours of tedious manual checking, letting your team focus on resolving actual issues, not just finding them.

AI-Powered Demand Sensing & Disruption Alerts

Beyond traditional forecasting, AI continuously analyses real-time external signals—think weather patterns, social media sentiment, news about port congestion, and geopolitical events. It provides early warnings of potential demand shifts or supply disruptions, giving you a crucial heads-up to adjust plans before problems escalate. This means less reactive firefighting and more proactive planning.

Proactive Supplier Risk Monitoring

An AI platform continuously scans global news, financial filings, and sanction lists for any events related to your key suppliers (e.g., factory fires, labour strikes, financial distress, regulatory changes). You'll get instant, tailored alerts, turning a quarterly manual risk assessment into a continuous, automated process. This helps you anticipate problems and build resilience.

Intelligent Delay Communication & Updates

AI synthesises data from GPS trackers, port operations systems, and weather APIs to predict shipment delays with higher accuracy. It then auto-drafts clear, concise status updates for affected internal teams (Sales, Customer Service) and external stakeholders. You or your team just need to review and send, drastically reducing the time spent on manual communication during disruptions.
