    You'll have the following skills and experience:

    • Commercial acumen and strategic thinker
    • Experience in fast paced Logistics sectors
    • Excellent negotiation and contract management skills
    • Strong leadership and develop and build capability
    • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and metrics
    • Problem-solving skills and ability to make timely decisions
    • Adaptability and resilience in a fast-paced environment
    • Innovative mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
    • Proficiency in project management and organisational skills
    • High level of integrity and professionalism

    Join us at Morrisons and be part of a company that's not just shaping the future of retail, but also revolutionising the way we think about transport and logistics.
