Job Description
Full job description
At Lion, our logistics network sits at the heart of how we deliver for customers.
We’re hiring an exceptional Head of Logistics to lead and evolve our logistics network. This isn’t your typical role, you’ll step into a complex, hybrid environment and shape how we deliver to customers, now and into the future.
From direct-to-store route models through to distribution centre networks, this is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, sees opportunities others don’t, and knows how to bring people on the journey.
This role can be based in either Sydney or Brisbane.
You’ll sit at the centre of one of Lion’s most critical value chains, leading strategy, performance and transformation across our logistics network. You’ll:
Lead and optimise Lion’s end-to-end logistics network
Own and manage logistics spend, driving commercial outcomes and performance
Partner closely with 3PL providers to lift capability and performance
Drive network optimisation initiatives, balancing cost, service and complexity across a hybrid distribution model
Lead contract management ensuring strong governance and outcomes
Oversee key operational levers including materials freight, wholesaler inventory, and asset management (kegs & pallets)
Collaborate cross-functionally to improve delivery promise and customer outcomes
Lead supply communication and logistics visibility to support better decision-making
Build, lead and evolve a high-performing team across logistics network, optimisation and asset management
This is a role for a seasoned, strategic logistics leader who’s as comfortable in the detail as they are setting direction. You'll have:
Proven experience leading complex logistics or supply chain networks, ideally within FMCG or 3PL environments
Deep understanding of hybrid distribution models (including direct-to-store / route-based delivery)
Strong commercial acumen, with experience managing large-scale budgets and driving P&L outcomes
Expertise in contract management and 3PL partnerships
A track record of leading transformation, optimisation and change at scale
Strategic mindset, able to see around corners, prioritise effectively and translate ideas into action
Highly collaborative leadership style, with the ability to influence and bring stakeholders on the journey
We’re a certified B Corp, which means we care about people, planet and purpose—not just profit. We’re committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, and we celebrate the unique perspectives that help us grow and innovate. We intentionally embrace difference and cultivate belonging every day, whether through our investment in our Reconciliation journey through our Innovate RAP, our commitment to gender pay equity or providing progressive people policies.
If you need specific support or accessibility adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know at [email protected] so we can make sure that your recruitment process is fair and we enable you to shine. This includes tailored support for First Nations people, individuals with disabilities, those who are neurodivergent, and people who identify as transgender or gender diverse as we understand the unique challenges and concerns you may face.
