Logistics and procurement manager driving KPI-led supply chain performance across regions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a managerial professional with more than 8 years of experience driving results through the successful management of logistics and procurement functions. In my current role, I define and monitor KPIs for procurement, logistics, and supply chain operations; develop and enforce SOPs; and represent the department during ISO audits to explain controls and compliance with international standards.
I oversee end-to-end supply chain activities across the Levant and Europe, coordinate weekly delivery plans with warehouse teams, and manage inventory using FIFO to minimize waste and financial loss. I also lead supplier coordination, resolve delivery and quality disputes, align purchase requests with forecasts and seasonal demand, and ensure smooth customs clearance through strong documentation and regulatory compliance.
