General Manager - Transformation & Change

Do you have extensive experience managing transformation and change in a large-scale 3PL warehousing operation? Are you a proactive leader with a sharp focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence? Do you have what it takes to transform a large, multi-channel operation into an industry-leading site for innovation and efficiency? We have the role for you!

Here at GXO Logistics, we’re currently searching for a General Manager of Transformation & Change to oversee two 750,000 sq ft buildings at a site in Newark. In this role, you will lead the site to success, spearheading transformation initiatives in a customer-facing capacity and driving change management and automation implementation across our omnichannel operation.

This is a full-time, permanent position, working 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday. However, this is a 24/7 operation, so you’ll need to offer a level of flexibility in terms of working hours – no two weeks are the same, this is logistics after all!

Pay, benefits and more:

You’ll be paid a salary of up to £83,000 per annum. You’ll also receive 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance. Your benefits package includes a company car or car allowance of £505 per calendar month, a company-sponsored pension scheme, private medical and dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more. You’ll also have access to our GXO University which provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with. There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Use a continuous improvement mindset to drive operational excellence and transformational change, delivering on GXO and Currys KPI’s and future proofing the site.
• Work with the CI, MI and the planning teams, whilst also working closely with the site operational teams, to implement and deliver transformation & culture change across the whole contract, including warehouse, transport and regional distribution centres.
• Ensure operations, planning & CI departments are aligned and have a clear plan underpinned by the site labour strategy and CI plan.
• Deliver site briefings to showcase the site strategy, clearly outline the impact on the audience, promoting a one team, cross-functional working culture with direct reports and key stakeholders on site.

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• Proven experience in a similar role, ideally in an open book, multi customer or e-comm environment.
• An understanding of CI initiatives and automation improvements, with experience of delivering projects on time.
• Experience of building strong working relationships with both internal and external customers and colleagues; you’ll be an effective influencer and communicator.
• People-focused leadership skills, able to positively engage, develop and empower others.
