As we move forward with our plans, Senior Supply Chain Managers help organise and direct our efforts so that programme milestones and key deliverables are met. You’ll also play an active role in defining scope for complex programmes and initiatives, and you’ll present your analysis and recommendations to Directors and Vice Presidents to inform change at the most senior level.
You’ll manage a team of Programme and Project Managers who will work alongside a variety of tech, operations, and business stakeholders to drive business-critical programmes.

You will always be looking to the future and exploring how to create the most value for the business and the customer.
