About this role

We are seeking a senior product leader to head our Delivery Execution pillar within the Logistics organisation. This role carries a dual mandate, you will own and optimise the live order journey - from courier acceptance through to successful delivery - ensuring reliability, efficiency, and proactive issue resolution at global scale. Secondly, you will define and scale new delivery models and growth vertical capabilities, including Delivery as a Service and External Fleet integrations, enabling the business to expand into grocery, retail, and new commercial partnerships.

The successful candidate will treat execution not as a narrow workflow, but as a scalable, configurable platform that powers both today's operations and tomorrow's growth. This is a global leadership role with significant impact across operations, growth verticals, and commercial strategy.

  • Own the product vision and strategy for the full live delivery lifecycle - from order acceptance to completion - ensuring seamless, reliable execution.

  • Lead the product vision and roadmap for emerging delivery models that extend and diversify our logistics capabilities
  • Define how these models integrate seamlessly into the core execution system while maintaining reliability, simplicity, and scalability.
  • Operate comfortably at both strategic and detailed levels, with an ability to identify quick wins/simplifications rather than defaulting to large-scale rebuilds
  • Product Ownership Across Four Core Teams, guiding a team of Senior PMs and engineers while engaging closely with leadership, operations, and regional stakeholders to ensure global alignment and adoption.
What will you bring to the team?
  • Significant demonstrable experience in product management, including experience working in senior leadership roles

  • Strong product vision with the ability to articulate and drive new delivery models.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills across operational, commercial, and technical leadership.
