About Us
JINGDONG Logistics (JD Logistics) is the logistics arm of JD.com and one of the world's leading technology-driven supply chain solutions providers. Leveraging advanced expertise in automation, intelligent logistics, and data-driven operations, we deliver end-to-end logistics solutions that help businesses grow while enhancing customer experience.
Our capabilities span the entire supply chain, including warehousing, line-haul transportation, last-mile delivery, bulky goods logistics, cold chain solutions, and cross-border operations. Our mission is simple: to deliver speed, reliability, and operational excellence at every stage of the supply chain.
The Mission & Core Scope
- The Mission: Architect, launch, and scale our country-level last-mile delivery network from the ground up, ensuring a highly optimized, high-velocity distribution network that meets elite global SLAs.
- The Scope: You will take full strategic and commercial ownership of the last-mile network, managing regional P&L, designing the multi-depot blueprint, and selecting our strategic carrier partners, reporting directly to executive leadership.
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:
- Network Expansion & Governance: Oversee the successful on-time commissioning of all regional delivery stations across the territory, onboarding their respective management teams and standardizing performance across all nodes.
- Carrier & Courier Architecture: Design and negotiate the commercial contracts for our third-party delivery service providers (DSPs), independent contractors, and partner fleets, balancing aggressive cost-per-delivery targets with strict SLA protections.
- Country-Level SLA Performance: Own and protect national delivery success metrics—consistently driving First-Time Delivery Rates, minimizing customer delivery escalations, and optimizing on-road scan compliance.
- Macro Cost & P&L Management: Maintain tight budgetary control over the regional final-mile budget, continuously finding operational cost-efficiencies while scaling capacity to support B2C and B2B volume growth.
Position Requirements
- Greenfield Launch Expertise: You must have a verified background of successfully directing, designing, or launching a multi-site last-mile network from scratch within a tier-1 e-commerce, express parcel, or national courier environment.
- Strategic Carrier Procurement: Proven experience negotiating high-volume transport and delivery tariffs, with a deep network of reliable transport partners and carriers in the regional market.
- Language Proficiency: Professional fluency in English and the local country language (Spanish/Italian) is strictly mandatory to direct regional operations and present high-level performance data to global HQ. Knowledge of Mandarin is a distinct asset.
- Executive Agility: High capability to translate complex, messy floor data into clear strategic expansion plans and boardroom-ready operational reports.
