Leveraging advanced expertise in automation, intelligent logistics, and data-driven operations, we deliver end-to-end logistics solutions that help businesses grow while enhancing customer experience.

Context of the Position

As part of our rapid international expansion across Europe, JD Logistics is establishing high-velocity automated distribution centers and logistics hubs. We are seeking an agile, problem-solving Warehouse Exception Handler to take ownership of physical and systemic operational anomalies, ensuring zero process friction and maintaining absolute inventory integrity.

The Mission & Core Scope

• The Mission: Identify, investigate, and resolve all real-time warehouse operational exceptions (damaged stock, unscannable barcodes, missing items, WMS inventory mismatches, and system-blocked parcels) to keep fulfillment flows moving without delay.
• The Scope: You will act as the first line of defense for floor anomalies across Inbound, Outbound, and Sorting departments, working directly with floor supervisors, ICQA, and IT/WMS support teams to clear operational bottlenecks.

Crucial Expectations & Performance Targets

To provide a clear understanding of the accountability required, the successful candidate will be evaluated on the following key metrics during the initial 6 to 12 months:

• Exception Resolution SLA: Resolve daily floor exception tickets and physical problem-solve totes within strict time windows to prevent order cut-off misses.
• Inventory Discrepancy Elimination: Conduct immediate root-cause investigations for short-picks or bin mismatches, updating system stock accurately to minimize inventory adjustments.
• Quality & Packaging Recovery: Manage the repackaging, re-labeling, and quarantine of damaged or non-compliant goods in accordance with quality and safety protocols.
• Data Accuracy & Trend Reporting: Accurately log exception types in the WMS, providing weekly data feedback to department leads to prevent recurring operational errors.

Position Requirements

• Logistics & Problem-Solving Experience: Prior experience in warehouse problem-solving, inventory troubleshooting, or exception handling within a high-volume e-commerce fulfillment center or 3PL hub.
• WMS & Systems Literacy: Strong hands-on proficiency with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), RF scanners, barcode troubleshooting tools, and basic MS Excel/data entry.
• Language Proficiency: Professional fluency in English is mandatory. Fluency in local languages (Spanish or Italian) is preferred; Mandarin proficiency is a strong plus.
• Operational Flexibility: Ability to work flexible shifts (including early mornings, late evenings, or rotation schedules) aligned with operational launch requirements.
