Are you looking for a fulfilling and rewarding career rather than just another job? Maybe you’re stuck in a rut and ready to find your next challenge?

This isn’t just another job opportunity… this is a M&S job opportunity!

There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Build an appropriate labour plan that sustains required capacity based on customer’s requirements, whilst understanding problems, initiating long term structured improvement projects and ensuring their timely delivery
• You’ll produce management information that enables stakeholders to provide actionable insight, driving strategic and operational decisions
• Lead the resource planning function in a professional, open, firm yet positive manner displaying consistency, honesty and integrity at all times

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• You’ll have experience in demand, capacity, and resource planning, preferably in third party logistics or a similar environment 
• You’ll need confident communication skills as you’ll be liaising with multiple functions across the business, such as operations, finance and HR, senior management and our customer
• You’ll need to work well on your own initiative, taking responsibility for processes and your workload, as well as that of your team
• Managing change and changing priorities will not phase you – this is logistics after all!
