ROLE

SUMMARY:

The Director of Distribution is responsible for the end-to-end leadership of QBP’s enterprise wide distribution network strategy and execution, with direct accountability for service performance, cost control, safety, quality, productivity, scalability, and long term network resilience across our US and Canadian DC network.

This role leads QBP’s multi site Distribution Center (DC) network and serves as an enterprise leader responsible for translating business strategy into operational reality. The Director of Distribution plays a critical role in enabling growth, protecting margins, and ensuring QBP can reliably serve customers through both peak and non peak cycles. The role balances day to day operational excellence with long term (3-5 year) network strategy which is built to align to the company’s 3-5 year strategy, ensuring QBP’s distribution capabilities evolve to meet changing customer expectations, business growth, channel complexity, and seasonality.

This role also serves as QBP’s enterprise leader for distribution facilities, process governance, engineering, and automation.

The role ensures that the physical network, people, processes, and technology evolve together to support growth, seasonality, and operational complexity.

While the DC Alignment Team (DCAT) and Industrial Engineering do not report directly into this role, they are essential strategic partners. The Director works in close partnership with those teams to align process governance, training, inventory accuracy, engineered standards, labor models, continuous improvement priorities, and automation readiness across the distribution network.

The Director reports to the Vice President of Supply Chain and Global Logistics.
