About This Role
This role is about operational control and strategic oversight of physical assets in a logistics-driven business. As Division Head, you’ll balance day-to-day facility management with long-term planning, contract negotiations, and cross-departmental coordination. It suits an experienced professional who can bridge property management with supply chain needs, ensuring that warehouses, offices, and distribution points support the company’s core logistics operations without interruption.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
Beyond the stated 5–8 years of experience, the employer is looking for someone who has managed property portfolios in a high-activity environment, likely with exposure to industrial or commercial real estate. The emphasis on budgets and compliance suggests they value candidates who can handle financial accountability alongside regulatory adherence—someone who has already dealt with lease negotiations, maintenance contracts, and property audits in a structured organization.
How to Approach This Application
Focus your application on concrete examples of reducing operational costs through property management improvements, such as renegotiating lease terms or streamlining maintenance schedules. Mention any experience in coordinating with logistics or warehouse teams, as this indicates you understand how property decisions impact daily supply chain flow. Be ready to discuss how you’ve led a team through property audits or implemented compliance systems, as these are likely decision points for shortlisting.
Who This Role Suits
Best for a seasoned property or facilities manager with a background in logistics or distribution companies, who thrives on both strategic planning and hands-on problem-solving. Given the seniority and the specific sector alignment, competition will be moderate—targeted toward candidates with industrial property experience rather than general real estate backgrounds.
