Reporting into senior logistics leadership, you’ll partner cross-functionally with planning, DC operations, transport, inventory, commercial, and tech teams, while leading collaboration with third-party logistics (3PL) partners across Australia and New Zealand. ### WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR This role calls for a leader who thrives in motion. Someone who sees complexity and brings clarity. The ideal candidate understands the rhythm of retail distribution in Australia and New Zealand and knows how to move people and processes forward. They lead with empathy, coach with intent, and hold a high bar for performance. They’re a strategic thinker who can zoom out to see the bigger picture but stay close enough to drive execution daily. They challenge the status quo, simplify the work, and create space for innovation. They’re comfortable in ambiguity, confident in decision-making, and relentless about improving outcomes. Strong analytical capability is essential as this role demands someone who can translate data into action, optimise cost, and elevate service. Above all, they believe in building inclusive, collaborative environments where teams can do their best work. 5–10 years’ experience in logistics, supply chain, or operations management within a retail or distribution environment. Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, or related field. Will accept any suitable combination of education, experience and training. Strong knowledge of third-party logistics (3PL) operations across Australia and New Zealand. Experience with SAP, Warehouse Management System (WMS), and Transport Management System (TMS). Demonstrated strength in stakeholder engagement, performance management, and cost optimisation. WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON You will lead the flow. You’ll connect teams, systems, and partners to keep product moving fast and accurately through Nike’s distribution network. You’ll turn insight into action, elevate performance, and build a culture where continuous improvement is the standard. Lead daily logistics operations across planning, inventory, transport, and distribution, ensuring seamless inbound and outbound execution. Partner with internal teams and 3PL providers to deliver accurate, on-time performance and a unified “One Team” approach. Drive operational excellence through KPI tracking, cost optimisation, and process improvement initiatives. Guide forecasting, labour planning, and reporting cycles to align resources with demand. Solve complex operational challenges using data, analysis, and structured problem-solving. Represent logistics in cross-functional forums, including daily operations calls and monthly planning sessions. Champion continuous improvement through audits, compliance monitoring, and operational best practices. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 1, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Aug 21, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 58 days - Location: Melbourne, Victoria - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Nike’s careers site →](https://nike.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/nke/job/Melbourne-Victoria/Senior-Specialist--DC-Operations-Pacific_R-87380) ## More jobs at Nike ### [Assistant Head Coach - Operations, Back of House](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nike/jobs/b11f2445a55d246929b5/) Melbourne, Victoria ### [Full Time Athlete, Nike Melbourne](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nike/jobs/cb59d2d5a92f16f40473/) Melbourne, Victoria ### [Full Time Athlete/Retail Associate, Nike Uni Hill](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nike/jobs/bbe46947f389225195d3/) Melbourne, Victoria ### [Lead, Partner Service and Experience Pacific](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nike/jobs/47be6caa12bce6e63372/) Melbourne, Victoria ### [Retail Associate I Full Time Athlete - Nike, Uni Hill](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nike/jobs/8f2d2aed56737f2ccbd5/) Melbourne, Victoria ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Head of Air Freight Customer Operations, Asia Pacific](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/deutsche-post/jobs/734b93f688546fd98795/) Deutsche Post · Singapore, Central ### [Regional Automation Engineer, Operations, Asia Pacific](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/basf/jobs/91ccb3110f60f49bb6e6/) BASF · ${htmlLocations} ### [Regional Data & AI Engineer, Operations, Asia Pacific](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/basf/jobs/518e30428a7fb890bda9/) BASF · ${htmlLocations} ### [Pricing Analyst (Asia Pacific)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ntt/jobs/c577090249aa0b94fd1f/) NTT · Bangalore, Karnātaka, India ### [Global Security Solutions Specialist (Asia-Pacific)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/jpmorganchase/jobs/65c50f048f40d796218c/) JPMorganChase · Singapore [Operations jobs](/functions/operations/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
