The role holder will form part of the Logistics Leadership Team in SAA and therefore will play a key role in defining the Logistics strategy for the region with particular emphasis on minimising and managing the risk across the SAA. • Responsible for the execution of Logistics “outsourcing to Contract” specifically: • Identification of opportunity to outsource through to contract • Operational spend and compliance reporting • Commercial risk management • Outsource Contract Management.
