Our mission is simple: to deliver speed, reliability, and operational excellence at every stage of the supply chain.
Context of the Position
As part of our strategic international expansion, JD Logistics is establishing its core infrastructure within the Italian market.
This is a critical greenfield deployment phase, which requires our founding leadership team to manage high operational fluidity, establish local processes from the ground up, and translate centralized global capabilities into localized execution.
This position is designed for an accomplished, heavy-volume logistics professional specializing in high-speed hub cross-docking and sorting operations.
The role requires a strategic manager who can master automated parcel processing networks, lead large floor teams through intensive sorting windows, and enforce flawless structural execution under strict network deadlines.
The Mission & Core Scope
The Mission: Take end-to-end operational, financial, and strategic ownership of our brand-new regional Sorting Center in the Milan area, ensuring an on-time facility launch, high-efficiency parcel processing,
and accurate network injection.
The Scope: You will take full accountability for the entire sorting hub layout—including inbound linehaul reception, high-speed automated sorting conveyor belt operations, cross-docking matrix management, and outbound station injection.
Crucial Expectations & Performance Targets
To provide a clear understanding of the accountability required, the successful candidate will be evaluated on the following key metrics during the initial 6 to 12 months:
Hub Commissioning & Integration: Successfully execute the launch, equipment testing, and ramp-up of the automated sorting facility within strict deadlines, ensuring 100% regulatory and safety alignment.
Hourly Throughput & Accuracy (SLA): Establish and optimize parcel-per-hour processing speeds across all automated and manual sorting lines, keeping mis-sort rates near zero.
Network Window Management: Maintain strict cross-docking discipline to ensure zero delay in sorting execution, guaranteeing that outbound trucks depart on schedule to meet downstream last-mile delivery windows.
Scale & Shift Optimization: Architect flexible multi-shift labor schedules capable of scaling instantly to absorb massive volume fluctuations coming from inbound transportation networks.
Position Requirements
Greenfield Launch Expertise: You must have a verified background of successfully launching, expanding, or managing a large-scale automated Sorting Center, Express Cross-Dock Hub, or Parcel Distribution Center (e.g., Ex-Amazon L5/L6 Station Center, DHL Express Hub, SEUR/Nacex central nodes).
Automation & MHS Mastery: Strong operational experience working with Automated Material Handling Systems (MHS), automated scanning arrays, and sorting belt software configurations.
Language Proficiency: Professional fluency in English and Italian is mandatory to lead local supervisors and coordinate high-level technical metrics with international stakeholders.
Knowledge of Mandarin is a highly valued corporate asset.
Operational Flexibility: High adaptability regarding working hours and shift adjustments, including night and weekend hub cycles, which are vital to stabilizing a 24/7 cross-docking network launch.
