Job Summary

As a Logistics Officer, your primary responsibility is to ensure the smooth delivery of goods to Delivery Agents (DAs) and monitor the process until the stock is received.

• Monitor the movement of stock until it is confirmed as received by the DAs.

• Address any delays or issues during the delivery process promptly and effectively.

Recruitment and Management of DAs:

Process Adherence and Compliance:

Collaboration and Communication:

• Liaise with the inventory team to plan stock replenishment schedules and prevent stockouts.

• Act as the primary point of contact between the company and DAs, ensuring smooth communication.

• Provide feedback and insights to the management team to improve logistics operations.

• Leadership Skills: Confidently manage and motivate DAs to perform at their best while adhering to company policies.

• Resourcefulness: Build and maintain a reliable bench of DAs to ensure instant onboarding when needed.

? Staff who ignore rules, accept excuses without evidence, or fail to enforce company policies.

? People with a negative attitude who refuse to take ownership of their tasks.

???? If you fit into any of these, DO NOT APPLY.
