- Improve stock movement, lower inventory aging, and control logistics spend.
- Manage operations across multiple warehouses, fleet assets, and delivery networks.
- Establish strong governance, performance KPIs, and reporting frameworks supported by data.
- Strengthen supplier performance, align procurement activities, and drive better cost outcomes.
Requirements
- 12 to 18 years of experience in supply chain, with leadership exposure in multi-site operations.
- Solid background in retail, FMCG, or manufacturing; experience in beauty or perfumes is preferred.
- Prior work experience in GCC markets is highly preferred.
- Demonstrated success in reducing costs and improving inventory efficiency.
- Hands-on experience with ERP systems such as Oracle or SAP, plus WMS and planning tools.
- Professional certifications like APICS, CSCP, CPIM, or Lean Six Sigma will be considered an advantage.
- Professional fluency in both Arabic and English.
