BEN CAMPBELL - MARKET AVAILABILITY MANAGER AND DISTRIBUTOR TEAM LOGISTICS MANAGER
The best part of P&G is the responsibility and the recognition that you are given from Day 1. At P&G I have 2 different roles, my first role is to maximise service to each of our customers. This involves collaboration within the Multi-Functional Team to ensure that every case of product ordered is able to be filled in a timely manner to meet the customers required delivery date. This entails end-to-end supply chain management, engaging all necessary stakeholders and driving value creation to build on current operational efficiencies required to maximise service as measured by our customers.
In my second role, I lead distribution as NZ Distributor Team Logistics Manager, executing maximisation of stock availability in NZ to allow for our local distributor team to relay our Best in Class Service to NZ consumers throughout the country. As part of my role, I collaborate with the sales team in order to execute sales plans by securing stock to meet promotional activities in NZ and support total NZ business. In value creation, I have a number of projects that drive cost saving through planned direct shipments from sourcing country to NZ verse utilising AU as a forwarding distribution centre.
The best part about my job is the responsibility and the recognition that you are given from your first day of work. At first it was a serious shock to the system that I had been given such high responsibility and accountability, but I would not change it for the world. In Product Supply, everything is visible, when you do a great job, not only can you see it but the whole team recognises and makes it very well known. P&G holds high regard for work-life balance, and I have been rewarded many half-day Friday’s to make up for the extra work done during the week. It’s incredible to be a part of such a supportive team!
