Logistics Manager

A logistics manager is responsible for overseeing the movement, storage, and distribution of goods within a company or across companies. This includes managing transport, warehousing, inventory, and deliveries to make sure products reach customers efficiently and cost-effectively. Logistics managers work closely with suppliers, manufacturers, retailers, and customers to plan and coordinate logistics operations. They are often required to analyse data and processes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and solve logistical problems. Strong organisational and communication skills are essential, as well as the ability to work under pressure and handle multiple tasks. Many logistics managers have a background in business, supply chain management, or a related field, and may also hold professional qualifications from organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT).
