• Foster an inclusive culture and drive process improvement ideas from ideation straight through to implementation.

Basic Qualifications

• 4-5 years of progressive experience in logistics, supply chain, warehouse operations, or inventory management within a 3PL or international company.
• Hands-on experience executing cycle counts, stock adjustments, and ageing analysis.
• Proven track record of managing supplier compliance, SLAs, and corrective actions.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders.
