LOGISTICS MANAGER

Position Overview
As the first-line owner of Mexico's supply chain operations, you will lead end-to-end demand & supply planning, third-party logistics (3PL), import/export customs clearance, and vendor lifecycle management. Benchmarked against the Netherlands warehouse management model, you will establish a localized supply chain operation: interfacing with HQ S&OP processes and local sales demand on the front end, while managing 3PL and customs broker performance and commercial terms on the back end. Your mandate is to ensure SAP inventory accuracy, healthy stock levels, on-time delivery per Customer Requested Date (CRD), and continuous Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) optimization under full compliance.
