Ensure compliance with international transport regulations, customs requirements, and sustainability initiatives including carbon reduction and packaging efficiency.
Monitor logistics KPIs, supplier risks, budgets, and commercial terms to optimise operational and financial performance.
Build and lead a high-performing logistics team, fostering accountability, continuous improvement, succession planning, and talent development.
