Job Description

We are looking for a Global Control Tower Manager to take end-to-end ownership of a complex, high-impact supply chain operation for one of our largest strategic customers.

This is not just an operational role—it is a leadership position at the heart of decision-making, where you will orchestrate global flows, drive performance, and lead a high-performing team in a fast-paced, high-visibility environment.

As Global Control Tower Manager, you will:

  • Lead and inspire a cross-functional control tower team, setting clear direction, priorities, and performance expectations
  • Act as the single point of orchestration across regions, functions, and stakeholders
  • Drive proactive decision-making using data, insights, and strong business judgment
  • Own end-to-end visibility and execution across the supply chain
  • Build a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement
  • Engage directly with senior stakeholders and customer leadership, ensuring transparency and trust

What You Bring

You are a leader first—someone who thrives in complexity, brings structure to ambiguity, and inspires others to perform at their best. You are equally comfortable in front of senior stakeholders as you are on the operational floor, and you take pride in building teams that deliver consistently at a high level.

Strong Leadership & People Skills (Core Focus)

  • Proven experience leading high-performing teams in complex, global environments
  • Ability to motivate, coach, and develop talent, driving both engagement and results
  • Strong decision-making capabilities under pressure
  • Confident stakeholder communicator—able to influence at all levels
  • High level of ownership and accountability

Operational & Strategic Capabilities

  • Solid experience within Supply Chain Management / Control Tower / Logistics operations
  • Strong understanding of end-to-end supply chain flows and dependencies
  • Experience with performance management, KPI frameworks, and continuous improvement
  • Comfortable working with data-driven insights and digital tools
