You’ll have the following skills and experience:

  • Commercial acumen and strategic thinker
  • Experience in fast paced Logistics sectors
  • Excellent negotiation and contract management skills
  • Strong leadership and develop and build capability
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and metrics
  • Problem-solving skills and ability to make timely decisions
  • Adaptability and resilience in a fast-paced environment
  • Innovative mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
  • Proficiency in project management and organisational skills

Join us at Morrisons and be part of a company that's not just shaping the future of retail, but also revolutionising the way we think about transport and logistics.
