• Support EDI transaction monitoring for logistics activities and flag discrepancies before they have downstream impact
• Keep operational records accurate and suitable for internal review and audit purposes

Shipment & Transportation Coordination

• Plan and coordinate inbound and outbound shipments across Europe, working with carriers, freight forwarders, and logistics partners to meet customer timelines
• Monitor active shipments and step in proactively when delays, exceptions, or discrepancies arise
• Prioritise shipments during peak periods or when urgent customer requests require re-sequencing of logistics activities

3PL & Warehouse Coordination

• Act as the main contact for third-party warehouse providers, covering inbound receipts, outbound dispatches, and inventory movements
• Monitor performance against agreed service level targets and escalate where providers are not delivering
• Support stock transfers and inventory reconciliation across warehouse locations

Order Fulfilment Support

• Working-level experience with Power BI, including building visual charts and reports from source data rather than only viewing existing dashboards

• Practical ERP experience for shipment and inventory management; Oracle experience is an advantage, but any solid ERP background is welcome
• Comfortable monitoring active deliveries, tracking exceptions, and keeping internal systems updated accurately and in real time
