Logistics Manager
Senior Leadership Team | High-volume manufacturing
Robertsbridge, East Sussex | £60,000–£65,000 + 15–20% bonus + benefits
We’re recruiting a Logistics Manager for a major international manufacturing group at one of their flagship South East sites. This is a senior leadership role on a fast-moving, 24/7 plant with tight next-day delivery commitments and strong existing performance.
You’ll lead a team of around 40 across production planning, inbound raw materials, warehouse operations and outbound finished product. That includes daily management of a busy 24/5 warehouse supporting a 24/7 production line. Volumes are high, space is tight and stock moves quickly, so planning accuracy, flow control and operational discipline really matter.
You’ll also oversee the on-site 3PL, manage around £5m of inventory, and work closely with production, engineering, quality and central supply chain. A major part of the agenda is systems change, including the migration to a new ERP and the rollout of a new WMS, where you’ll act as the logistics voice in design and deployment.
We’re looking for a hands-on leader who is visible in the operation, strong on behavioural safety, confident managing large teams and experienced across inbound, warehousing, planning, inventory and outbound transport. Manufacturing experience is essential, and ERP/WMS/SAP project exposure will stand out.
What we are looking for
- Senior logistics leadership in a high-volume manufacturing environment
- Experience managing a sizeable team through direct reports
- Strong exposure across inbound raw materials, warehousing, planning, inventory and outbound transport
- Proven 3PL management experience
- Hands-on leadership style, visible, present, engaged
- Strong behavioural safety mindset (NEBOSH or IOSH + evidence of culture leadership)
- Experience with ERP/WMS/SAP transitions or implementations
- Evidence of continuous improvement in service, cost and logistics performance
Interested?
If you have the background described above and want a senior, site-critical logistics role where you own the full end-to-end flow and sit on the senior leadership team, please get in touch.
