• Monitor and evaluate logistics KPIs, including shipping accuracy, returns rates, and warehouse performance.
• Coordinate import and export operations globally, ensuring customs compliance and timely delivery.
• Manage freight operations including quotation requests, freight booking, documentation (commercial invoices, declarations, packing lists), and customs clearance.
• Review and approve 3PL and freight invoices, benchmark rates, and identify potential savings.
• Continually improve logistics processes to reduce lead times and enhance customer experience.
• Prepare monthly reports covering inventory valuation, COGS, logistics spend, return rates, and supplier performance.
• Track gross margin performance and report variances between forecasted and actual sales.
• Identify potential risks in the supply chain (e.g. shipping disruptions, raw material shortages) and implement mitigation strategies.
• Use data to inform key decision-making, process changes, and cost efficiencies across the supply chain.

Required Skills & Experience

• Minimum of 4 years of experience in supply chain, logistics, or operations within e-commerce, retail, or FMCG industries.
• Strong working knowledge of importing/exporting and customs requirements.
• Experience with demand forecasting, inventory management, supplier coordination, and 3PL oversight.
• Familiarity with Unleashed & Shopify.
• Proven ability to prepare and interpret end-of-month stock and COGS reports.
• Competency with data and reporting tools including Excel
