At GANT Footwear, we combine the heritage of an iconic brand with the agility of a start-up. As we continue to scale our newly established subsidiary to GANT AB, we’re looking for a Logistics Director to build and lead our logistics operations with structure, precision, and momentum. 

As Logistics Director for GANT Footwear, you will be responsible for building, optimizing and managing our end-to-end logistics operations as we scale a newly established business unit. In this role, you need to combine a strategic mindset with a hands-on attitude, with key responsibilities in implementing new logistics structures, setting up our future warehouse and transport solution, and leading critical transformation initiatives in collaboration with global functions.

You will also be the main owner of our future Supply Chain platform as well as a key driver in designing and implementing our ERP logistics flows. 

You will work cross-functionally with Product & Operations, Finance, and Commercial at GANT Footwear as well as with Global Logistics at GANT AB, ensuring that our logistics processes support speed, quality, cost efficiency, and scalability.  

Over time, the role will continue to evolve as a senior leadership role, including direct reports of 1-3 people. From day one, however, you will hold ownership and decision-making rights over all logistics matters within GANT Footwear.
