There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Be responsible for the overall operational and financial performance of the operation, leading from the front and getting under the skin of what keeps the site moving on a day-to-day basis
• Support the development of the growth strategy and evolution of the site, through ongoing continuous improvement and other strategic projects

• Develop your direct reports through leadership, objective setting, regular reviews and up-to-date PDRs to facilitate succession planning

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• A proven track record effectively leading a large (250+ colleagues) fast-moving logistics operation, working with a high profile customer
• Strong experience of continuous improvement – you’ll be the type that never wants to stand still and aims for excellence
• Fantastic leadership skills with a real focus on developing and engaging your people and driving succession from the bottom up
