You will work closely with cross‑functional stakeholders to develop robust warehousing and transportation processes, supported by clear performance management systems.

You will develop and implement a cost‑effective distribution and resource planning process that enables optimal inventory deployment across plants, warehouses, and customer locations, ensuring achievement of OTIF (On‑Time‑In‑Full) targets.

You will be responsible for the overall management of plant warehouses and distribution centers, with full accountability for tire hygiene, cleanliness, and safety standards. You will establish and enforce processes for FIFO, perpetual inventory counting, and stock accuracy, ensuring compliance with accounting, financial, and internal control requirements.

You will drive continuous improvement in customer satisfaction related to order fulfillment and delivery performance, while maintaining a strong understanding of company revenue recognition policies and their impact on logistics execution.

You will collaborate with the Country Supply Chain Director and Procurement Head to finalize transportation and 3PL contracts, ensuring alignment with service, cost, and compliance objectives.

What We're Looking For

You hold a degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a related discipline.

You have 5–6 years of experience in logistics and warehouse operations within manufacturing, FMCG, consumer durables, or reputable auto spare parts organizations.

You possess working knowledge of SAP, preferably in the SD (Sales & Distribution) module, along with a strong understanding of logistics trade, warehouse best practices, and inventory planning.

What Will Set You Apart

You demonstrate strong communication skills and analytical ability, enabling effective stakeholder engagement and data‑driven decision‑making.

You bring knowledge and skills in contract management, which will be considered a strong advantage.
