Logistics Manager, Fanatics Collectibles

This is a hands-on logistics leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, international operations and wants to play a key part in scaling a growing EMEA network. The Logistics Manager will lead day-to-day transport and logistics execution across the EMEA region, with a strong focus on cross-border movements, multi-carrier operations, and time-critical product launches. Working closely with the Head of Logistics, this role will balance immediate operational problem-solving with building smarter, more scalable logistics processes to support new markets, higher volumes, and increased complexity.

You’ll operate at the heart of a growing international supply chain: navigating customs, carriers, 3PLs and tight timelines, while helping shape how logistics evolves as the business continues to expand. This is a full time role, in the designated office 5 days per week.

Operational Execution:

• Act as the day-to-day operational lead for EMEA logistics, owning issues, decisions, and escalations, and partnering closely with the Head of Logistics on higher-impact or strategic matters.
• Run day-to-day transport operations across a multi-carrier portfolio (road, air, express).
• Plan and execute ad-hoc and exception movements - urgent transfers, inventory rebalancing, last-minute saves.

Fix, Standardise & Scale:

• Own operational problem-solving across transport and logistics, from urgent exceptions to systemic issues.
• Convert reactive fixes into repeatable, scalable processes that support growth.
• Create clarity and momentum by using data, systems and smart process design.

Launch & Time-Critical Planning:

• Drive day-to-day logistics execution for time-critical Hobby product launches collaborating closely with internal and external stakeholders.
• Plan to tight timelines, make smart trade-offs, and get inventive when plans change.
• Work closely with fulfilment to ensure stock flows cleanly from inbound to outbound.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years’ experience in transport, logistics, or operations within international or cross-border networks.
• Strong knowledge of import/export and customs processes.
• Proven experience managing multi-carrier portfolios and working closely with 3PL partners in fast-paced environments.
• Confident using WMS and logistics systems with the ability to interpret data and use it to drive operational decisions and improvements.

You’ve already:

• Navigated carrier failures, customs holds, and missed cut-offs.
• Made informed judgment calls balancing cost, speed, and risk.
• Been trusted to run day-to-day operations independently.
• Demonstrated a strong bias for action in resolving issues and moving quickly

We’d particularly welcome candidates from:

• Large-scale retail, FMCG, or marketplace environments
• High-volume eCommerce or omnichannel operations
• 3PL, carrier, or express logistics businesses
