Key Responsibilities

Own end-to-end logistics for Smartplus: international inbound from vendors and domestic distribution to customers/branches. You’ll coordinate multi-step workflows (booking → documentation → customs → delivery) with rigorous follow-ups, drive OTIF (On-Time In-Full), and use AI tools to boost speed, accuracy, and visibility.

• International Inbound: Plan/book air/sea/express; track ETD/ETA and milestones; verify invoice, packing list, HS codes, CoO, insurance, AWB/BL; coordinate customs clearance via broker and delivery to warehouses.
• Domestic Distribution: Schedule inter-branch transfers and last-mile deliveries; ensure clean POD and timely status updates.
• Carriers: Compare spot quotes vs. rate cards; monitor SLAs (pickup, transit time, damages); file & recover claims for damage/shortage.
• ERP & Documentation: Ensure accurate ASN/GRN, labeling, and reconciliation in ERP (Zoho Inventory/Books or similar).
• Performance & Reporting: Track and improve OTIF, clearance lead time, freight cost per kg/m³, and damage/shortage rate.
• AI-Enabled Operations: Use AI/copilots for exception summaries, delay risk flags, auto-drafted supplier/customer updates, OCR data capture from invoices/AWBs, and live trackers.
• Process & Compliance: Maintain SOPs/checklists, escape risks early, and keep stakeholders informed (Sales/Finance/Planning).

Organization & Follow‑Through: Exceptional task management for multi‑step processes with persistent follow‑ups and clean documentation.

Work Eligibility & Availability: Legal right to work in KSA; able to travel to KSA warehouses/clients; willing to handle urgent clearances/deliveries outside normal hours when needed.
