You will drive cost efficiencies, improve on-time delivery, and support our omnichannel retail strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and manage logistics operations, including warehousing, transportation, inventory distribution, and order fulfillment.
• Oversee inbound/outbound shipments, carrier negotiations, route optimization, and freight management to minimize costs and delays.

• Lead a team of logistics coordinators, warehouse staff, and drivers; provide training, performance management, and process improvements.
• Track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as on-time delivery, logistics costs, load efficiency, and inventory accuracy; implement corrective actions as needed.
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, environmental regulations, and retail-specific standards (e.g., cold chain for perishables).
• Negotiate contracts with third-party logistics (3PL) providers, carriers, and vendors.
• Utilize warehouse management systems (WMS), transportation management systems (TMS), and ERP tools for real-time visibility and reporting.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in logistics management, with at least 3 years in the retail sector (e.g., managing multi-channel distribution for e-commerce and brick-and-mortar).
• Proven experience handling high-volume retail logistics, including peak seasons, omnichannel fulfillment, and reverse logistics (returns).
• Strong knowledge of retail supply chain challenges (e.g., fast fashion cycles, perishable goods, or multi-site distribution).
