International Logistics Manager M/F
DESCRIPTION
You will take charge of the organization and coordination of the company's logistics activities. You will manage the flows from the receipt of materials and equipment to their shipment to customers. Concretely, you will:
- Anticipate logistics needs in connection with ongoing industrial projects
- Organize transport in France and internationally
- Coordinate loadings, pickups, and deliveries
- Supervise loadings, pickups, deliveries, and storage
- Supervise warehousing activities and support the employees within your scope
- Guarantee the traceability of flows and the proper maintenance of associated documentation
More generally, you will implement and maintain reliable and shared monitoring tools. You will also communicate regularly with the various departments regarding the progress of flows and any potential points of vigilance. Your team is intentionally autonomous in its daily activity. Your role is therefore not to be in permanent control, but to provide a framework, organize, anticipate, and coordinate the entire logistics scope.
A strong Import / Export dimension: This is a major component of the position. The company works with various international suppliers and partners and manages, in particular, flows coming from abroad as well as shipments to several international destinations. You master the different stages of an international transport operation: choice of transport mode and provider, negotiation, customs formalities, documentation, shipment tracking, and anticipation of potential contingencies. You are thus comfortable with Incoterms, duties and taxes, customs formalities, and import-export documentation. You select and manage carriers and logistics providers, negotiate conditions, and are able to compare different solutions in terms of costs, lead times, and operational constraints. You also perform monitoring of developments likely to have an impact on international flows and know how to propose alternative solutions when necessary.
REQUIREMENTS
You have built your experience in industrial logistics, international transport, or import-export and now wish to take charge of a complete scope. Your background may be varied: Logistics Manager, Transport Manager, Sales Administration Manager, having evolved towards broader responsibilities related to industrial logistics and solid import-export expertise. More than your degree, it is your concrete experiences and your ability to take charge of the scope that will make the difference. You must master international transport, Incoterms, customs formalities, and import-export documentation. But you are also comfortable with the highly operational dimension of the function: receipt, storage, warehousing, organization of physical flows, and shipments. You practice fluent English. You are capable of conducting a conversation, exchanging with international suppliers and carriers, and negotiating in English. For you, useful logistics information must be accessible to the people concerned: you naturally share shipment progress, a change in lead time, or an identified risk with project teams and other departments. You also appreciate being in the field and know how to move from negotiating with an international carrier to a concrete issue regarding receipt or loading on-site.
The recruitment steps are as follows: With the recruitment consultant:
- 1 initial telephone exchange to understand the structure of your career path and your professional projects/wishes.
- 1 interview to discuss what makes up your personality.
- With the company:
- 1 video interview with the Supply-Chain management
- 1 on-site interview with the general management / Supply-Chain and the HR department
