About this opportunity
GH Engage lists this VP of Operations – E-Commerce Fulfillment & Distribution opportunity in horn lake, Mississippi. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
Mississippi / Memphis Metro
I’m partnering with a highly successful, established consumer business on a confidential search for a Vice President of Operations.
This is a substantial leadership opportunity for an experienced operator who has led large-scale e-commerce fulfillment, distribution and light manufacturing operations — and knows how to take a high-performing operation to the next level.
THE OPPORTUNITY
You’ll lead a sophisticated operation spanning:
High-volume e-commerce & omnichannel fulfillment
Small-parcel distribution
Light manufacturing, personalization and value-added services
Peak-season planning and execution
Engineering, safety and operational excellence
P&L and operating performance
Continuous improvement and transformation
Development of a strong Director/Senior Manager leadership bench
This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role and the business has a strong operating model and continues to perform exceptionally well.
This is NOT a “fix a broken operation” assignment.
The mandate is to take an already successful organisation and identify where the next level of performance can come from while strengthening operational discipline, developing the leadership team, improving KPIs, optimising cost-to-serve and preparing the operation for continued growth.
WHO I’M LOOKING TO SPEAK WITH
I’m particularly interested in VPs, Senior VPs and high-performing Senior Directors who have operated in environments involving:
Omnichannel operations
High-volume distribution and small-parcel
Multi-site leadership
Light manufacturing, assembly, kitting or personalization
Peak-season operations
Lean / Six Sigma / operational excellence
Large-scale transformation, automation or systems implementation
Leadership of Directors and Senior Managers
Relevant backgrounds could include retail, consumer goods, e-commerce, logistics, distribution, manufacturing or similarly complex operating environments.
THE TYPE OF LEADER THEY NEED
Someone who can be strategic without becoming detached from the operation.
Someone who uses data, KPIs and financial insight to make decisions.
Someone who can walk the floor, understand the operational detail, challenge the status quo and then step back to build the longer-term strategy.
And importantly, someone who can develop the existing leadership team rather than simply run everything themselves.
If you’re currently a Senior Director looking for a genuine VP opportunity, or an established VP who is ready to take on a larger and more complex operation, I’d be very interested in speaking with you.
The client and exact location will be disclosed to qualified candidates during the process.
