As a leading eCommerce recruitment agency, we know increasing levels of sophistication in UK consumer expectation, driven by continued growth in eCommerce and the resulting competitive response amongst retailers, has significantly impacted demand for logistics and supply chain professionals with the specific eCommerce skills and experience required. Traditional DCs are evolving; many use automation to support eCommerce fulfilment operations. Today’s logistics professionals increasingly need to understand WCS and WMS and can even be responsible for engineering and control room departments and automation software teams.
The result is a need for eCommerce leadership teams with a broader set of management qualities, knowledge and experience, and the flexibility to adapt to a continually changing environment.
