Job responsibilities

As a logistics strategist, you will have overall responsibility for developing and optimizing Lekia's purchasing and logistics processes. You will work closely with the wholesale manager, warehouse manager, and other key functions to ensure that logistics solutions are cost-effective, sustainable, and scalable as the company grows. The role is a specialist function without personnel responsibility but with significant influence and leading responsibility in projects and development initiatives. You will act as a requirement setter, project manager, and strategic partner in areas such as freight agreements, distribution strategy, process optimization, and cost monitoring.

Your role includes owning and developing Lekia's warehouse policy with a focus on service levels, inventory levels, capital binding, turnover rate, and relevant key performance indicators. You are responsible for developing and implementing the distribution strategy and logistics price list together with the wholesale manager, and you lead the work of negotiating and following up on sea freight and distribution agreements. You drive projects related to bonded warehouses, e-commerce logistics, and other improvement initiatives. The role also involves analyzing and monitoring logistics-related KPIs, preparing materials for inventory planning, and being an important sounding board for the warehouse manager in budget work and cost monitoring.
