Lead supply and transport planning for your logistics flows, balancing commercial priorities, operational constraints, and cost efficiency, and evaluating routing, timing, and capacity trade-offs to maximise performance. Develop contingency plans and mitigation strategies to minimise the impact of disruptions and supply chain risks. Ensure accurate, complete, and compliant documentation (transport, customs, TRACES, ISCC), and act as a subject-matter expert for operational compliance, supporting audits and regulatory reviews. Ensure accurate and efficient ERP processing (Business Central) and safeguard data integrity across ERP, SharePoint, and operational systems, while identifying opportunities to improve data quality, controls and workflows.
