Logistics Manager (D2C 3PL/ E-Commerce) - Skincare/ QComm

Key Responsibilities:

The role involves leading warehousing and outbound shipping performance end-to-end, while building a robust distribution planning rhythm as we scale channels and volumes. This is a high-ownership role - leading for commercials, partner performance, and key cost metrics.

1) Warehouse (3PL) performance & relationship management

• Own 3PL warehouse SLAs: inbound putaway, pick-pack accuracy, dispatch TAT, returns processing, shrinkage control.
• Run weekly/monthly performance reviews, root-cause analysis, and improvement plans.
• Improve SOPs, audit readiness, and exception handling to reduce customer-impacting errors.

2) Courier partner performance management

• Own courier selection, onboarding, and daily performance tracking (pickup adherence, delivery TAT, NDR/RTO %, damage/loss, reverse logistics).
• Build a structured escalation and governance mechanism with partners to maintain service quality at scale.

3) Distribution & stock movement planning

• Plan and execute stock movement across nodes/channels (e.g., primary warehouse ? secondary locations/marketplaces/dark stores as applicable).
• Maintain inventory health through replenishment planning, safety stock logic, lead-time management, and visibility reporting.
• Partner closely with demand/commercial teams to align inventory availability with growth plans.

4) Commercials & P&L ownership

• Own rate cards/contracts and negotiate commercials as volumes scale (forward, reverse, COD, volumetric, surcharges).
• Track logistics + warehousing costs vs targets; identify levers to improve unit economics without compromising customer experience.

5) Systems & reporting (Unicommerce + Excel)

• Own day-to-day operations on

  Unicommerce

  : order flow, shipping rules, courier allocation logic, tracking hygiene, exception queues.
• Build strong Excel-based reporting (pivots, advanced formulas, dashboards; Power Query a plus) for cost, SLA, and inventory movement insights.
