- Own cost control and fuel performance, supplier SLAs, and commercial optimisation across maintenance and logistics spend.

- Embed world-class safety, risk and governance standards, ensuring audit-ready operations and full regulatory compliance (including NTSA, insurance and inspections).

- Lead sustainability and ESG initiatives, including emissions reduction, route optimisation and transition toward lower-emission technologies.

- Build and lead a multi-disciplinary team, strengthening leadership depth and delivering measurable improvements in service, safety and cost.

- Partner closely with Production, Finance and Maintenance to align fleet capability with business growth and continuity.

- Experience in food, agriculture, manufacturing or heavy distribution strongly preferred.

- Proven capability in digital transformation, cost optimisation, and change leadership.

- Strong working knowledge of Kenyan regulatory requirements (NTSA, insurance, audits, inspections).

- Commercial, data-driven, and systems-oriented; respected people leader with high standards for safety and performance.
