Our local team of more than 60 people supports over 1,200 customers, backed by a worldwide network.

About the role

Every product we sell crosses a border, a wharf or a warehouse dock before it reaches a customer, and much of it is regulated. Getting it there on time, compliant and at the right cost is the essence of this job.

You will coordinate the freight forwarders, third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and transport companies that move Azelis products across your portfolio or region. You work side by side with our Customer Experience Specialists, so the decisions you make are felt directly by customers.

What you will do

• Manage inbound shipments with freight forwarders and domestic carriers, and coordinate 3PLs so goods are delivered, inspected and receipted against agreed KPIs
• Manage outbound customer orders so requested delivery dates and special delivery requirements are met
• Flag at-risk deliveries to Customer Experience Specialists early, ensuring customers are informed and don’t get any surprises
• Transact in Microsoft Dynamics 365 and monitor EDI integrity between Azelis and its logistics partners
• Hold logistics partners to their service commitments on behalf of our customers
• Monitor customer returns and 3PL process compliance
• Reconcile and validate service provider invoices, and support landed cost and distribution cost reporting
• Maintain Chain of Responsibility obligations and ensure compliance with all relevant legislative requirements, including, the Australian Dangerous Goods Code

What you will bring

• At least one year of experience in logistics, warehousing and distribution, or freight forwarding, in a high-transaction environment
• Exposure to dangerous goods or other regulated products (preferred, not essential)
• ERP experience. Microsoft Dynamics 365 is highly regarded; SAP or similar is welcome
• Intermediate Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Word and Teams skills
• A logical, practical and detail-focused way of working
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication, and the confidence to push back on a carrier
• Adaptability in a business where priorities and responsibilities change
• A qualification in supply chain, logistics or transport management is highly regarded.

What we offer

• Real ownership of a portfolio and its logistics partners
• Hands-on development in dangerous goods, import/export and 3PL management
• A supportive, experienced supply chain team and the career pathways of a global group operating in more than 60 countries
• Hybrid / flexible working arrangements available after 6 months
