The Opportunity
As Simon Sinek would say, “start with why“. In this case, why should you be interested in this career opportunity?
In addition to all of the many organizational, functional and specifics cited below there are two reasons that really stand out. First and foremost this organization is eager for strategic input and they have made room at the Executive table just for you. If you are currently feeling underutilized, underappreciated, underwhelmed or held back by a company whose leadership is unwilling to give your ideas a fair hearing, this is an excellent opportunity for you to contribute on the grand scale that you desire. Direct access to ownership and the final decision makers is a beautiful thing, especially when you are used to being hamstrung by endless layers of leadership, mountains of red tape and decisions that proceed at a glacial pace.
Secondly, and importantly, this company is also a joy to work for as they follow a management philosophy that espouses and upholds the values of caring for and developing their employees. Additionally they are also a benevolent corporate citizen, adhering to a strong commitment to social responsibility and a sustainable environment.
The ”why” is important, always ask yourself “why?”!
Position Description
Your goal will be to arrive on the scene, analyze the operations and then make them better! An oversimplification, perhaps; however, let’s be honest, you are the Director of Operations, that is exactly what you will be expected to do!
Providing the traditional services of a Freight Forwarder you will be responsible for ocean, air, ground, warehousing and, perhaps customs, if that is also your thing.
By the way, don’t panic, it’s not like the place is in shambles, they are actually doing exceptionally well, but one can’t rest on one’s laurels and there is always a way to make things better, right?
Experience
As the successful candidate, you will be a dedicated practitioner of the art of Freight Forwarding, fully loaded with the technical competence to be a subject matter expert and, as such, seen as a strong resource for your team. You will also be a strong leader, able to guide, develop, empower and otherwise nurture a thriving and efficient team.
Rounding out the above, you will also have a keen eye for process optimization and will strive endlessly to bring exciting continuous improvement initiatives to the table; remember, we want to make things better!
