Hiring Manager
Vector Logistics

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Operations Manager role at Vector Logistics. I have twelve years of experience optimising processes, teams, and budgets in logistics and manufacturing, and Vector’s scale is exactly the kind of operation where I can add value.

At Pinewood Logistics I cut annual operating costs by €600K by redesigning warehouse workflows and staffing, and I raised the on-time delivery rate from 88% to 98% across a five-site network. I lead a team of 45 across operations, scheduling, and fulfilment.

I also believe efficient operations and a safe workplace go together — a revamped safety and training programme cut workplace incidents by 40%. I would bring that same balance of cost discipline and team care to Vector.

I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can help your operation run better. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Carlos Mendes
