POSITION OVERVIEW

The Digital Logistics Support Manager is responsible for improving the post-purchase customer experience across EMEA and LATAM by connecting Digital Commerce, logistics operations and Customer Value Centre teams. Acting as the critical bridge between Distribution Centres, carrier partners, Customer Value Centres and Digital Commerce stakeholders, the role translates customer demand, order forecasts, digital initiatives and customer insight into actionable priorities for fulfilment, rehousing, transportation and customer service.

This is a Manager-level individual-contributor role with cross-functional operational ownership. It does not duplicate the responsibilities of Distribution Centres, carrier partners or Customer Value Centres; instead, it connects these functions, creates shared accountability, drives continuous improvement and ensures customer-impacting issues and their underlying causes are addressed across organisational boundaries.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Customer Experience & Performance: Own the end-to-end post-purchase customer experience from order hand-off through delivery and issue resolution, monitoring fulfilment, delivery and returns KPIs to identify performance gaps, customer impact and corrective actions that improve customer satisfaction (CSAT).

Escalation & Issue Resolution: Co-ordinate the resolution of complex and customer-impacting delivery issues, working with Customer Value Centre, Distribution Centre, carrier, legal and wider business teams to achieve the right resolution, strengthen service recovery, reduce customer effort and prevent recurring issues.

Logistics & Carrier Performance: Act as the primary connection between Digital Commerce, Distribution Centres, carrier partners and logistics and transportation teams, driving improvements in fulfilment, delivery reliability, communication and customer outcomes through customer-focused carrier performance reviews.

Data, Reporting & Root-Cause Analysis: Analyse logistics, customer contact, complaint and carrier-performance data by market to identify trends, delivery failures, recurring issues, root causes, carrier performance gaps and opportunities for improvement. Develop and maintain reporting that provides clear visibility of delivery performance, customer-impacting exceptions, improvement actions, risks and benefits.

Process & Continuous Improvement: Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies across the order-to-delivery journey and drive improvements to simplify ways of working, strengthen proactive communication and service recovery, reduce repeat customer issues and embed consistent improvements across markets.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Governance: Establish clear governance, accountabilities, service standards and escalation routes for customer-impacting logistics issues. Partner across Digital Trading, Customer Experience, Logistics, Operations, Finance, Product, Technology, Sales, Inventory, Trade and Business Planning to prioritise improvement activity and create shared ownership of outcomes, including stock-outs, delays and customer expectation topics.

Delivery Proposition & EDD Optimisation: Support the development and optimisation of Estimated Delivery Dates (EDD), delivery propositions, service levels and market-specific logistics solutions, exploring how these can benefit both customers and the business.

Cost-to-Serve Optimisation: Establish a consistent view of true cost-to-serve across fulfilment, delivery, exceptions and customer-service interactions, identifying inefficiencies and opportunities to reduce avoidable costs while protecting customer experience and commercial performance.

Customer Advocacy & Market Needs: Act as the customer advocate in logistics and operational decisions, ensuring customer expectations and local market needs are represented in regional logistics programmes, service models and priorities.

Additional Support: Support relevant improvement projects from discovery and implementation through to tracking success measures, benefits, risks and opportunities. Provide clear recommendations and updates to leadership and ensure agreed actions are delivered and improvements are embedded consistently across markets.

EXPERIENCE, SKILLS & KNOWLEDGE

Customer-Centric Mindset: Strong understanding of how logistics performance impacts the digital customer journey and post-purchase experience.

Analytical Thinking: Ability to interpret operational data, identify trends and translate insights into practical actions.

Stakeholder Management: Confident working with cross-functional teams including contact centre, logistics, transportation, legal, trade, inventory and business planning.

Problem Solving: Strong root-cause analysis skills with the ability to resolve complex delivery issues and prevent repeat occurrences.

Communication: Clear and professional communication style with the ability to explain operational issues and recommendations to different audiences.

Project Coordination: Experience supporting project discovery, implementation, tracking and communication of progress against agreed success measures.

Continuous Improvement: Proactive approach to identifying process gaps, recommending improvements and supporting operational change.
