Key Responsibilities

  • Own and govern global safety standards for the end‑to‑end supply chain, including manufacturing, technical service centres, logistics, fulfillment, contractors, and key partners.
  • Design, maintain, and continuously improve a globally deployable Safety Management System across all supply chain operations.
  • Ensure the Safety Management System operates as a scalable operating system, embedded into supply chain management routines, not a compliance overlay.
  • Build deployment playbooks that convert standards into consistent behaviours: onboarding, leader routines, contractor management, incident learning.
  • Lead phased rollouts by site archetype and maturity, ensuring readiness criteria and sustainment controls are in place.
  • Position safety as a foundational enabler of supply chain resilience, continuity, and scalability. Establish governance forums/cadence that drive action: clear owners, decisions, and follow-through.
  • Coach leaders on safety leadership expectations (what good looks like in behaviours, conversations, and presence).
  • Partner with Site Leaders to ensure safety outcomes are owned by line leadership across manufacturing, logistics, and distribution operations.
  • Own the global safety assurance and audit framework for the end‑to‑end supply chain, ensuring consistent verification of standards and system effectiveness.
  • Drive incident learning discipline: investigation quality, corrective action effectiveness, and systemic prevention.
  • Standardise contractor onboarding requirements, safety expectations, and performance management.
  • Embed safety requirements into sourcing/partner governance and commissioning readiness.

Requirements

  • Deep EHS/safety systems expertise in manufacturing/logistics; strong grasp of global standards deployment.
  • Proven principal-level program leadership: multi-site rollout, governance, influence without authority.
  • Exceptional executive communication: can translate safety into strategic business risk and operational excellence language.
  • Strong partnering approach works with (not around) site leaders and EHS teams; balances global consistency with local requirements.
  • Change leadership capability understands adoption, reinforcement, and sustainment.
