**About the role**:
The Manager of Logistics & Supply Chain is typically responsible for managing end-to-end operations within a business’ supply chain, and working internally with production, leadership, sales, and warehousing teams to optimize a business’ supply chain and align it with growth goals.

The Logistics Manager is the key leader for day-to-day operations teams, with supply chain stakeholders (such as heads of fulfillment), supervisors, and employees reporting to them.

In this role you will be expected to nurture external relationships with manufacturers, suppliers, freight brokers, vendors, and last-mile carriers, and work closely with these parties to consistently meet deadlines as cost-effectively as possible.

As Logistics & Supply Chain Manager you will report directly to the Chief Payments Officer - Core Payments & Supply Chain.

**The Logistics & Supply Chain Manager will be responsible for**:
**Strategic planning -** works with Chief Payments Officer to develop myPOS’ short
- and long-term goals, and then plans logistics strategically to enable the company to achieve those goals.
This involves:

- setting supply chain KPIs for productivity, speed, and order accuracy (among other metrics),- analyzing data collected over time and implementing process improvements wherever possible.- In addition, the Manager will be responsible for preparing logistics operations for expected challenges (such as spikes in seasonal demand), and for building a resilient supply chain that is strong and stable enough to withstand unforeseen challenges (such as supply chain blockages or a pandemic/similar situation).**Inventory and warehouse management -** managing warehouse processes to ensure supply chain runs smoothly.
The Manager must ensure that inventory levels are satisfactory and that stocks are organized and easily accessible. This includes monitoring of standard warehousing and fulfillment procedures such as receiving, picking, and packing, for speed, efficiency, and quality of throughput.

**Inventory Management Software** - Research and suggest a solution for the use of an inventory management software (IMS) and/or a warehouse management system (WMS) to automate and simplify the warehouse management for myPOS or partner with a 3PL company with inventory and warehouse management capabilities.

**Budgeting - **As one of the individuals with a deep understanding of all the moving pieces (and prices) in myPOS logistics network, the Manager is well-positioned to create and manage logistics budgets.
It is expected of him/her to develop operational budgets for all sorts of logistics costs — including facilities, labor, supplies, and freight — in addition to annual budgets.

**Staffing**:

- Logistics are complex systems powered by lots of dedicated people. The Manager motivates and manages all the teams and individuals that keep business operations running. The Manager will recruit and train the new staff, ensuring a proper running of the team throughout the year.

**Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies** - A good supply chain runs like a fine-tuned machine, with numerous steps, processes, and people working together — but all it takes is a single bottleneck to grind this synergy to a halt.
Inefficiencies like outdated operating processes, inefficient inventory practices, obsolete or confusing technology platforms, lack of manpower, and supply chain gaps wreak havoc on the fulfilment cycle and can make it impossible for a business to get finished goods to customers efficiently and on budget. If these bottlenecks are not resolved, it could result in big revenue losses for the business.
The Manager should track data to proactively identify and tackle inefficiencies before they become liabilities and should strive for a holistic understanding of the systems and software used to manage inventory and warehousing, so that pinpointing opportunities for optimization becomes second nature.

**Automate processes when possible -** The Manager will seek to simplify and streamline operations wherever is necessary.
One easy way to save time, money, and hassle is to introduce automation into areas of the supply chain that are frequent and repetitive. This way, human labor is directed only to operations that need attention. Automated order processing, automatic pick list generation, automatic reorder point notifications, and automated shipping not only help keep goods flowing through the supply chain smoothly, but usually result in fewer errors than when the functions are performed manually.
