Your new company
Our client is a fun loving and fast growth e-commerce business, currently driving a major transformation of its fulfilment and logistics operations. As part of this strategic change, they are moving to a Third-Party Logistics (3PL) model to enhance efficiency and scalability. This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking business at a pivotal stage of its growth.
Your new role
The Logistics Project Manager role is likely to be a 6-month contract, but there is flexibility to extend if need be, and it could be handled full-time, or 3 or 4 days per week for a very well-matched candidate. In the role you will take ownership of the end-to-end process of managing a Distribution RFP and overseeing the transition to a 3PL provider. You'll lead all aspects of planning, coordination, and execution to ensure a smooth, timely, and cost-effective transition with minimal disruption to business operations.Key responsibilities include:
- Managing the full RFP process, from requirements gathering to final selection.
- Building and delivering a detailed project plan covering design, testing, implementation, and go-live.
- Acting as the primary liaison between internal teams and the chosen 3PL partner.
- Overseeing data transfer, SKU analysis, operational mapping, and inventory transition planning.
- Driving cross-functional collaboration across Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, Finance, IT, and Customer Service.
- Ensuring performance targets, SLAs, and KPIs are met throughout the transition.
What you'll need to succeed
- Proven experience in logistics, supply chain, or distribution project management.
- Demonstrable experience of managing RFPs and supplier selection processes.
- Hands-on experience with 3PL operations and warehouse/distribution environments.
- Excellent project management skills, including timeline, budget, and stakeholder management.
- Data-driven approach with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Outstanding communication and negotiation skills.
- Proficiency with project management tools and Microsoft Office/Google Workspace.
Desirable:
- Project Management certification (PMP, Prince2, Agile).
- Experience with ERP/WMS integrations and system migrations.
- Background in e-commerce, retail, FMCG, or similar fast-paced environments.
What you'll get in return
Remuneration to suit experience, so if the role sounds like a good fit, apply, and we can have a discussion regarding our clients' requirements and expectations. They are growing fast, but are currently at a relatively modest scale. Someone running the equivalent steady state logistics function would typically be earning circa £55k. They recognise that the project is critical, and are able to invest in someone who can deliver it successfully.
