ROLE SUMMARY
What are the key objectives and expectations from this role?
The Factory Logistics Manager position is to ensure that all aspects of the Logistics processes and Systems, especially SAP, for domestic & export markets are compliant with internal and external control and statutory requirements.
This role is becoming increasingly important as we operate as an export hub and as we rely more and more on third parties (3PLs) for the execution of the logistics function. Managing the 3PLs to ensure products are delivered on time and in full, liaising with the Customer Facing Team (CFT) and the factory are essential to the success of this role.
The job holder will need to ensure that best practices, industry and BAT standards, local and international regulations are always complied with by all parties concerned. As the logistics network gets more complicated, risk management and business continuity must be reviewed regularly.
