You will translate our global quality framework into practical, field-ready controls, verify operational and supplier performance, and drive timely corrective action across Kuehne+Nagel operations, control towers, delivery crews, and approved Road service partners.
This is a highly hands-on role that connects quality with what is happening on the operational ground. You will work closely with operations, suppliers, and customers to help ensure complex, high-value deliveries are executed according to the required quality, safety, security, and service standards.

- Develop and execute a risk-based Road audit program across Kuehne+Nagel locations, control towers, dedicated crews, and subcontracted service partners, including announced and unannounced assessments and live delivery observations.
- Lead quality participation in supplier due diligence, onboarding, approval, and periodic requalification, assessing areas such as vehicles, equipment, staffing, competence, security controls, continuity arrangements, and delivery performance.
- Maintain supplier scorecards and improvement plans, verify corrective actions, and escalate critical or recurring issues, including recommending restriction or suspension of providers when critical controls are ineffective or risk is unacceptable.
- Lead or support the containment and investigation of Road service failures, damage, handling deviations, near misses, data failures, and customer complaints, applying RCCA/CAPA methodology and ensuring effective corrective and preventive actions.
- Verify the operational readiness of new or changed Road operations prior to go-live, providing documented quality recommendations and escalating material or systemic risks when appropriate.
- Define and verify role-based competence, authorization, and refresher requirements for operations, drivers, delivery crews, control towers, and relevant supplier personnel, while supporting delivery-app controls and data quality.
- Partner across Road Operations, Procurement, Security, QSHE, IT, visibility teams, account teams, customers, and service partners to resolve execution risks and support compliant delivery across countries and regions.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional qualification in quality, logistics, supply chain, engineering, operations, or a related discipline.
- 7+ years quality-management experience within Road Logistics, last-mile delivery, high-value logistics, field services, or another controlled operational environment.
- Demonstrated experience auditing multi-site operations and suppliers and implementing SOPs, work instructions, training, and digital controls.
- Strong practical knowledge of RCCA/CAPA, risk assessment, supplier quality, operational readiness, and continuous improvement.
- Strong operational understanding, ideally involving complex or above-average transport requirements, with knowledge of loading, unloading, equipment, safety, security, and/or high-value deliveries.
- Ability to work effectively across countries and functions, constructively challenge non-conforming practices, and communicate credibly with operations teams, customers, suppliers, and other partners.
- Ability to operate independently in a global, matrixed environment, managing responsibilities with limited day-to-day supervision while working effectively with multiple stakeholders.
- Formal auditor or quality certifications are advantageous.
- Approximately 50% U.S. national and international travel is required.

Tips for Your Director of Global Logistics Job Search
Quantify your cross-border cost reductions
Hiring managers for director of global logistics roles want numbers: freight spend reduced, transit days cut, carrier contracts renegotiated. Pull those figures from past performance reviews before you write a single bullet on your resume.
List every trade compliance credential you hold
Certifications like CUSCP, CSCMP, or customs broker licenses often appear as preferred qualifications in director-level postings. Put them in a dedicated credentials section so automated screening tools don't miss them.
Target postings by freight mode and region
A director of global logistics role at a pharma cold-chain company requires different depth than one at a retail importer. Filter openings by the freight modes and trade lanes you know best so your application speaks directly to what that employer needs.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists director of global logistics openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a case study for your panel interview
Director-level logistics interviews often include a scenario round where you walk a panel through a supply chain disruption you resolved. Have one ready that covers root cause, the decision you made under time pressure, and the measurable outcome.
Negotiate relocation terms before you accept
Many director of global logistics roles are tied to a distribution hub or regional HQ and require on-site presence. Confirm relocation package terms, expected travel percentage, and office reporting structure before the offer stage so there are no surprises.
