Purpose of the role

The purpose of this role is to lead Finished Goods Warehouse and Import operations across Mexico, ensuring the safe, compliant, and efficient end-to-end flow of finished goods from factories and import processes through regional warehouses and last-mile delivery to customers.

• Measure and evaluate key performance indicators (KPIs) across warehousing and import operations. Analyze relevant data to identify trends and develop strategies that reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and enhance overall supply chain performance.
• Promote a safe and healthy workplace by taking reasonable care of themselves and others, complying with all applicable legal and JTI health and safety requirements, and consistently following established controls and safe working practices. Complete required training and promptly report incidents, near misses, hazards, and unsafe behaviors, taking corrective action whenever possible and within their authority.
