Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of experience in logistics, supply chain management, or a related field.
• Proven experience in managing transportation, warehousing, and international shipping.
• Strong proficiency with logistics software, WMS, TMS, and ERP systems.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage workload effectively in a remote setting.
• Bachelor's degree in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, or a related discipline is preferred.
