About the Job
As a Supply Chain Consultant at Unipart you will be responsible for diagnosing, designing, and delivering end-to-end supply chain transformations. You will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and floor-level execution, ensuring that operational designs - from warehouse modelling to S&OP - are robust, efficient, and scalable. You will drive the consultancy's commercial growth by identifying new business opportunities, developing innovative value propositions, and upholding the highest standards of governance and best practice.
As part of your key responsibilities you’ll:
- Lead the end-to-end design of distribution centres, including layout optimisation, MHE specification, and the use of tools for flow modelling
- Develop and embed S&OP and IBP frameworks, utilising advanced analytics for inventory optimisation and safety stock parameter setting
- Lead end-to-end distribution centre design, including layout optimisation, MHE specification, and flow modelling to deliver high-accuracy "to-be" operational models
- Embed S&OP and IBP frameworks using advanced analytics to optimise inventory levels and define precise safety stock parameters
- Drive operational excellence by applying Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to eliminate waste across warehouse and transport networks via robust "as-is" diagnostics
- Act as functional lead for systems deployment, overseeing the selection and architecture of WMS, TMS, and ERP solutions, including emerging Digital Twin technologies
- Manage comprehensive procurement tenders for transport and warehousing, encompassing 3PL selection, contract negotiation, and the definition of global SLAs and governance
- Champion practitioner-led thought leadership by maintaining the "Best Practice Toolkit" and producing white papers and case studies to upskill the consultancy team
- Identify unmet client needs and lead the technical design of high-value proposals and RFIs, ensuring a focus on sustainable logistics and market-leading innovation
- Direct senior stakeholder engagement by translating complex data into board-ready business cases, ensuring project ROI and the growth of long-term strategic partnerships
