Job Description: Supply Chain Manager (Outbound & Fulfilment)
We are seeking a data-driven and operationally sharp Supply Chain Manager to lead our end-to-end outbound logistics and fulfilment operations. In this role, you will be responsible for the strategic movement of goods from our warehouses to a Pan-India network of distributors and direct dealers.
This role focuses exclusively on Outbound Logistics, requiring a specialist who can bridge the gap between sophisticated demand planning and the "boots-on-the-ground" reality of vehicle placement and warehouse audits. The ideal candidate will treat logistics as a revenue driver, balancing aggressive growth with a relentless focus on cost optimization and lean efficiency.
Core Responsibilities
1. Demand Planning & Inventory Optimization
- ROL Management: Maintain optimal inventory levels using the Re-Order Level (ROL) method to ensure high stock availability while minimizing working capital tied up in excess safety stock.
- Agile Demand Updates: Manage semi-automated demand planning, recalibrating plans mid-month to support sales surges while mitigating the high costs of emergency stock transfers.
2. Outbound Logistics & Distribution
- End-to-End Excellence: Oversee the journey from warehouse to distributor/dealer. Optimize lane-wise freight costs and ensure 100% vehicle placement through strategic transporter selection.
- Logistics Innovation: Manage complex Bill-to-Ship-to models. Maximize vehicle utilization rates and optimize Partial Load (PTL) movements to reduce the "cost-per-unit" shipped.
- Process Automation: Standardize manual processes to reduce administrative overhead and eliminate human error in the billing and dispatch cycle.
3. Strategic Cost Management & Optimization
- Freight & Route Optimization: Continuously audit and re-engineer primary and secondary distribution routes to reduce transit times and fuel surcharges.
- 3PL Performance Management: Negotiate and manage 3PL contracts with a focus on tiered pricing models that reward efficiency and volume consolidation.
- Loss Prevention: Implement rigorous controls to eliminate transit damages, pilferage, and "dead-miles," directly impacting the bottom line.
4. Distributor Success & OTIF
- Growth Enablement: Drive Customer OTIF (On-Time In-Full) metrics. Ensure distributors have the right stock at the right time, transforming logistics into a competitive advantage.
- Market Opportunity: Eliminate lost sales by ensuring shelf-availability, ensuring that cost-saving measures never compromise service levels.
5. Warehouse & Team Management
- Operations & Audits: Conduct rigorous Warehouse and Supply Audits to ensure 100% inventory accuracy and SOP compliance. Reduce warehouse "shrinkage" and optimize floor-space utilization to lower storage overhead
- Leadership: Manage warehouse teams and 3PL partners to maintain high standards of safety, speed, and dispatch precision. Foster a culture where every team member is an owner of operational waste reduction.
Key Requirements
- Experience: 7–12 years in Outbound Logistics, Secondary Distribution, or Fulfillment Operations.
- Strategic Mindset: Ability to treat logistics not just as a cost center, but as a driver of revenue through high product availability.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong experience with ERPs and automated planning tools; ability to manage data-heavy ROL and demand forecasting.
- Geographic Expertise: Deep understanding of Pan-India freight routes, transporter networks, and regional unloading norms.
- Financial Acumen: Proven track record of delivering measurable year-on-year cost savings without degrading delivery service levels (SLA).
