The Mission: Ocado Logistics is the beating heart of the UK’s most advanced supply chain. We don’t just move groceries; we architect the flow of goods using proprietary technology that changes how the world shops.
We are looking for a Senior Network Inbound Manager to act as the primary architect for our inbound strategy. This isn't just about managing flow; it’s about commanding accountability across a complex network of stakeholders, including Ocado Retail and Morrisons.
The Role: This is a high-autonomy, high-influence position. You will move between high-level strategy and operational reality, ensuring our inbound network is scalable, governed, and resilient.
What you’ll do:
* Architect the Strategy: Transform high-level network goals into actionable frameworks for our UK-wide operations.
* Command Accountability: Establish the governance and escalation pathways that keep our retail partners and inbound teams aligned.
* Drive Scalable Excellence: Use data-led insights to identify systemic risks before they hit the bay doors.
* Influence at the Top: Build high-trust relationships with senior leadership across Ocado and our partners to maintain operational confidence.
What we’re looking for:
* Strategic Autonomy: You thrive in ambiguity and don’t need a manual to build a structure.
* Stakeholder Orchestration: You can influence senior leaders and drive performance without needing direct line authority.
* Analytical Rigour: You live in the data but speak in "solutions." You know how to use KPIs to fix systemic issues, not just report on them.
* Logistics Grit: You understand the "physical" reality of a warehouse and can maintain strategic momentum under pressure.
The Perks: (plus much more)
* Bonus: this position presents a 15% bonus
* Hybrid & Flexible: 30 days ‘work from anywhere’ policy.
* Future-Focused: 7% Pension match and exciting Share Schemes.
* Wellbeing: Private medical, comprehensive family-friendly leave, and a 15% Ocado discount.
The Process: We keep it transparent: 1. Recruiter Chat ➔ 2. Stakeholder Strategy Deep-Dive ➔ 3. CFC Site Visit & Director Interview.
