Junior Warehouse & Logistics Manager (m/f/d)

Job Description

Build our warehouse and logistics operations with us!

CS-International is a fast-growing international company operating in the trading card game, collectibles, gaming and entertainment industries.

As our business continues to grow, we are building and professionalizing our warehouse and logistics operations in Ratingen. We are therefore looking for a hands-on Junior Warehouse & Logistics Manager who wants to take real ownership, develop scalable processes and grow into a future leadership position.

This is not a purely administrative role. You will work directly within the operation, help establish our systems and processes from scratch and gradually take over responsibility for the entire warehouse and logistics function.

Your responsibilities

• Support the setup and continuous development of our warehouse and logistics operations in our brand new warehouse in Ratingen
• Help design efficient processes for inbound goods, storage, picking, packing, shipping and returns
• Actively participate in day-to-day warehouse operations, particularly during the setup phase and peak periods
• Support the implementation and configuration of our new ERP and warehouse management processes
• Translate operational requirements into practical ERP workflows together with management, internal teams and external implementation partners
• Establish clear processes for inventory management, stock accuracy, cycle counts and annual stocktaking
• Help define warehouse layouts, storage locations, product flows and picking structures
• Coordinate parcel and freight shipments as well as relationships with carriers and logistics service providers
• Monitor operational performance and develop relevant KPIs and reports
• Identify bottlenecks, errors and inefficient processes and implement practical improvements
• Create and maintain process documentation, work instructions and operational standards
• Gradually coordinate and lead warehouse employees and temporary staff
• Support logistics planning for events, conventions, retail activities and international projects
• Work closely with Events/Organized Play, Project Management and Management
• Take on increasing responsibility with the long-term perspective of leading our warehouse and logistics department
• Grow gradually into this role, having the opportunity to become part of our management

Qualifications

• Completed vocational training or a degree in logistics, supply chain management, business administration or a comparable field
• Approximately two to three years of relevant professional experience in warehousing, logistics, fulfilment or supply chain operations
• Practical understanding of inbound goods, storage, inventory management, picking, packing, shipping and returns
• Confident use of Microsoft Office applications and general familiarity with digital business systems
• Very good written and spoken German and good written and spoken English (Our main language is ENGLISH!)

Experience with ERP or warehouse management systems, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Shopify, shipping software, international logistics or the coordination of operational teams would be an advantage, but is not essential.

Your Profile

• You have a hands-on mentality and are willing to actively support day-to-day warehouse operations
• You enjoy building new processes, systems and structures rather than simply maintaining established routines
• You work in a structured, accurate and independent manner and take ownership of your responsibilities
• You are able to identify operational problems and develop practical, workable solutions
• You communicate reliably and enjoy working across departments and with external service providers
• You are motivated to support the implementation of a new ERP and warehouse management structure, you are a stakeholder in this process
• You are comfortable working in a growing environment where processes are still being developed
• You have the ambition to gradually take on leadership responsibility and develop into the future head of our warehouse and logistics operations

You do not need to already have experience in every individual area. What matters most to us is your understanding of warehouse operations, your willingness to actively build new structures and your motivation to grow into a responsible leadership position. We want to help you developing with workshops etc. in areas you are not 100% confident.

What to expect

• A key role in building and professionalising our warehouse and logistics operations from the ground up
• The opportunity to actively shape workflows, warehouse structures and operational standards
• Direct involvement in the implementation of our new ERP and warehouse management processes
• A varied position combining hands-on warehouse operations, process development and project work
• A high level of ownership and the freedom to contribute and implement your own ideas
• Close cooperation with management and the opportunity to get involved into the gaming industry
• Short decision-making paths and an international working environment
• Diverse products and projects from the trading card game, collectibles, gaming and entertainment industries
• A growing operation in which responsibilities and leadership opportunities will increase over time
• A clear long-term development perspective towards leading our warehouse and logistics department

You will join us during an important development phase. Not every process is already finalised, and this is exactly where you will make a difference: By helping us create scalable structures that can support the company’s future growth.
