The Opportunity

We’re supporting an international brand-led business in hiring a Direct Ship Logistics Manager to take ownership of factory-to-customer deliveries across Europe.

This role focuses on managing shipments that bypass traditional distribution centres, ensuring products move directly from suppliers to customers efficiently, compliantly, and on time.

It’s a highly hands-on position, ideal for someone who enjoys working at the centre of operations — coordinating shipments, managing documentation, and keeping everything moving in a fast-paced environment.

The job:

• Manage end-to-end shipments from factory to customer across EU markets

• Oversee direct deliveries from both EU and international suppliers

• Ensure all shipments meet customer-specific and customs requirements

• Coordinate key shipping documentation including:

• Commercial invoices

• Packing lists

• Origin statements / REX declarations

• Link purchase orders to sales orders and support accurate invoicing

• Work closely with suppliers, freight forwarders, and internal teams to ensure smooth execution

• Monitor shipment progress and proactively resolve delays or issues

• Maintain accurate tracking and ensure all shipments are correctly invoiced and closed

What we need from you:

• Experience in international logistics, transport, or supply chain operations

• Strong understanding of EU road freight and cross-border shipping

• Hands-on experience with customs documentation and compliance

• Comfortable managing shipment data, reports, and operational processes

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail

• Able to work across multiple stakeholders in a fast-moving environment

• Experience in retail, apparel, or FMCG is a plus

Why?

• End-to-end ownership of a critical logistics flow

• Exposure to international markets and complex supply chains

• A role that combines problem-solving, coordination, and process improvement

• Fast-paced environment with strong operational visibility
