Senior Consultant – Network solution & Transport Optimisation

As a Senior Supply Chain Consultant, you are a strategic force behind network transformation. Your key role is to design, simulate, and refine end-to-end supply chain networks - including suppliers, production sites, distribution hubs, and customer regions - by conducting robust scenario analyses and evaluating trade-offs between cost and service. Leveraging powerful tools such as Llamasoft/Supply Chain Guru, AIMMS, Gurobi, or Optilogic, you construct mathematical models to test hypothetical situations - like shifting demand, relocating facilities, or reconfiguring transport routes—and determine the most effective network design that optimally balances cost efficiency, service performance, agility, environmental impact, and risk.

You’ll transform analytical insights into actionable strategies and compelling business cases - emphasizing cost efficiencies, enhanced delivery performance, and strengthened capacity resilience. You’ll engage with senior stakeholders to communicate these recommendations and collaborate with cross-functional partners across procurement, operations, IT, and finance to implement network enhancements and establish enduring design standards. Your impact empowers clients to shift from instinct-based decisions to a data-driven approach, building agile and future-ready supply chains

Key responsibilities:

• Design and optimize end-to-end supply chain networks, spanning suppliers, manufacturing sites, distribution centres, and customer regions
• Conduct scenario-based modelling and trade-off analyses to assess cost, service, flexibility, sustainability, and risk
• Develop mathematical models using tools such as Llamasoft/Supply Chain Guru, AIMMS, Gurobi, or Optilogic to simulate “what-if” situations (e.g., facility relocations, demand shifts, and transportation redesigns)
• Translate complex analytics into strategic recommendations and comprehensive business cases, focusing on cost savings, delivery efficiency, and capacity resilience
• Communicate findings and network strategies to senior stakeholders in a clear and compelling manner
• Collaborate cross-functionally with procurement, operations, IT, and finance teams to operationalize network changes and embed new design standards
• Champion the shift from intuition-led to data-driven supply chain decision-making
• Enable clients to build agile, efficient, and future-ready supply chain
• Collaborate with internal teams, including operations team, business development, and implementation leads.
• Mentor junior consultants and support their development through internal reviews, knowledge sharing, and on-the-job training.
• Continuously explore and promote innovative methods, tools, and best practices to enhance solution design delivery.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering, Supply Chain Management, or Operations Research.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in Supply Chain Network Modeling including suppliers, production sites, distribution hubs, and customer regions.
• Technical expertise in any of the Network modeling tools like Llamasoft/Supply Chain Guru, AIMMS, Gurobi, or Optilogic.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, and project management skills.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor junior team members and work in cross-functional, multicultural teams.
