Manage inbound and outbound logistics activities to ensure efficient, compliant, and cost-effective movement of materials and products.
Monitor and report on key supply chain performance metrics, implementing improvement initiatives to enhance operational effectiveness.
Drive continuous improvement across all supply chain functions, improving efficiency, scalability, process robustness, and data accuracy.
Ensure effective utilisation and ongoing enhancement of ERP/MRP systems and supply chain planning processes.

A successful track record of developing and implementing supply chain strategies that improve performance, resilience, and scalability.
Strong commercial acumen, including experience negotiating supplier agreements and managing supplier performance.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make data-driven decisions.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels of an organisation.
Experience using ERP/MRP systems, supply chain planning tools, and quality management frameworks.

What You'll Bring
