• Support sales by providing logistics expertise and solutions for customer projects, including quotations, delivery schedules, and transport options.
• Track, develop, and report monthly KPIs to support continuous improvement and transparency.
• Provide timely information to stakeholders and implement corrective or recovery measures if suppliers are late or issues arise during delivery.
• Create, manage, and maintain all shipping documents, ensuring accuracy and compliance with relevant regulations.

Your background

• Degree (B.Sc. or equivalent) in Business Administration or Economics.
• Good knowledge of logistics, project management, and supply chain management principles, with hands-on experience in practical applications.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, adapting your approach to suit different situations and needs.
