Job Summary
Our client is expanding their logistics footprint and need a hands-on leader to own end-to-end transport & warehouse operations. This isn't just supervision—it's about building a lean, reliable network that keeps the product moving fast from factory to shelf.
Expect variety: negotiating with transporters one day, troubleshooting depot stockouts the next, and partnering with sales to hit tight delivery windows.

Warehouse Command
- Lead a team of pickers/loaders—coach, schedule, drive productivity
- Triage urgent orders with sales

- Manage inbound/outbound: goods receipt, put-away, picking accuracy, FIFO compliance for perishables
- Depot linkage: weekly SOH audits, automated min/max replenishment alerts
- Root cause variance resolution: damaged goods, theft prevention, supplier discrepancies
