Project Manager - Logistics

Using our unique intelligent supply chain model, we design innovative solutions to complex challenges, unlock new opportunities, and speed up and streamline existing processes by removing complexity from the supply chain. It all adds up to providing a service that is “Better, Faster, Cheaper” than our competitors. 

Our core values drive everything we do. We believe in promoting a supportive environment for our colleagues, delivering exceptional service to our customers, contributing to the community, and working towards a more sustainable environment. If you share these values and are passionate about making a positive impact, we'd love to have you on our team. 

If you love taking an idea and driving it all the way through to a result that genuinely works, this is the role for you. As a Project Manager in our Change Management team, you’ll take ownership of delivering robust, efficient end-to-end solutions across a fast-paced supply chain business - from inception right through to completion.

This is a customer-facing role at the heart of the action. You’ll typically have around six projects on the go at once, working hand-in-hand with customers, Operations and IT to define scope, agree priorities and land change “right first time”, on time and to budget. You’ll build strong relationships across the whole business - Operations, Finance, Facilities, HR, Technology and beyond, and with external clients too.

Based at our site at Bradford with a competitive salary of £55,000 - £60,000 + car allowance, it’s a role with real variety, real visibility and the satisfaction of seeing your projects make a tangible difference. If you’re a confident, resilient self-starter who thrives on delivery, you’ll fit right in.
