ROCKSTAR SUPPLY CHAIN / LOGISTICS / INVENTORY MANAGER NEEDED FOR AMAZON FBA SELLER

-----THIS IS A RE-POST. DO NOT REAPPLY IF YOU HAVE ALREADY------

***ABOUT YOUR NEW EMPLOYER***

Hey there! I run a 6 year old Canadian company selling our own branded line of over 20 products on Amazon with a small team of four wonderful people from the Philippines doing 7 figures in USD annually. Right now, business is booming and I'm looking for a SUPPLY CHAIN / LOGISTICS SPECIALIST. Starting salary range for this position is 35000 PHP to 45000 PHP per month depending on your experience, hours worked, and your day to day availability.


***IDEAL SUPPLY CHAIN SPECIALIST SKILL SET***

1. Previously trained and familiar with the Amazon Seller Central Interface, especially shipment creation
2. Strong numerical skills
3. Familiar with FCL, LCL, and air freight shipments to the US/UK/EU from to start to finish
4. Experience in communicating with 3PL warehouses in the US, UK and EU
5. Able to optimize container space and domestic shipment plans to reduce fees
6. Self-motivated and can work without supervision
7. Experience working with Chinese suppliers and factories
8. Can communicate clearly and succinctly in writing
9. Comfortable talking on the phone with warehouses and freight forwarders (on rare occasions)
10. Able to work graveyard from time to time

***WHAT DOES A TYPICAL WORK DAY LOOK LIKE?***

I'm in a different time zone so you will be working independently most of the time (your Filipino coworkers will be there but they can't help you too much because they have their own work to do and supply chain isn't there specialty). From time to time, you may be expected to work graveyard or odd hours especially for urgent and time sensitive shipments in the US or in Europe.

***WHAT ARE MY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES?***

Essentially, I need you to handle our re-orders at our Chinese factory, manage all order details along the way, and then coordinate with freight forwarders to prepare for shipment overseas to Amazon warehouses from start to finish. Additionally, I also need you to manage our domestic inventory situation from our 3PL to Amazon to ensure we stay in stock at all times. I also expect you to be "smart" about setting up these shipments by balance/optimizing for container space, pallet usage, warehouse fees, and small parcel delivery to minimize our expenses. I will provide guidance and training but the ideal candidate is one who just "gets it" most of the time on their own and that is why a strong grasp of working with numbers is ideal.
