Career.zycto is actively seeking a highly motivated and experienced Logistics Coordinator, with a distinct emphasis on warehouse and delivery operations, to become a vital part of our dynamic team based in Old Harbour, St. Catherine. This professional role is truly pivotal, serving as the backbone for ensuring the seamless and highly efficient flow of goods from our central warehouse to a diverse array of destinations, thereby playing a critical and direct role in our overarching operational success and, most importantly, our unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. You will be instrumental in not only optimizing our existing logistical processes but also in innovatively managing inventory, and meticulously coordinating the timely dispatch and precise receipt of all shipments.
The ideal candidate will possess a deep and comprehensive understanding of fundamental supply chain principles, coupled with hands-on proficiency in advanced warehouse management systems, and an intimate familiarity with local delivery networks across Jamaica. In this capacity, you will hold direct responsibility for overseeing a wide spectrum of daily logistics activities. This includes, but is not limited to, precise order processing, real-time inventory tracking, strategic route planning, and fostering crucial liaison relationships with external freight forwarders, various carriers, and a multitude of internal departments. This demanding role intrinsically requires exceptional organizational prowess, an almost obsessive attention to detail, and the innate ability to not only survive but truly thrive within a relentlessly fast-paced operational environment where adept problem-solving and proactive, crystal-clear communication are not merely desired, but absolutely essential.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will extensively involve the skillful utilization of advanced logistics software solutions to continuously monitor inventory levels, precisely schedule pickups and deliveries, and to expertly generate comprehensive reports designed to pinpoint and articulate areas ripe for significant improvement. You will be tasked with diligently ensuring unwavering compliance with all pertinent local and international transportation regulations and stringent company policies, while meticulously maintaining accurate, auditable records and detailed documentation for every single logistics activity undertaken. We are specifically searching for a logistics professional who is not only adept and highly competent at executing and managing complex operational tasks but also inherently possesses a strategic mindset. This individual should be capable of independently identifying efficiencies, proposing innovative solutions, and implementing industry best practices across all our warehouse and delivery functions. If you are genuinely passionate about the intricate world of logistics, possess a well-documented and proven track record in sophisticated warehouse and delivery coordination, and are genuinely eager to contribute your expertise to a rapidly growing and forward-thinking enterprise, we enthusiastically encourage you to submit your application without delay.
