5 hours ago
We are seeking a seasoned and highly skilled Import Logistics Manager to join our dynamic team in Iraq. This is a high-pressure, high-volume role responsible for managing the end-to-end logistics for all our inbound container shipments.
Reports to: Head of Supply Chain / Logistics Director
Location: IRAQ (Full-time, On-site)
The ideal candidate is a hands-on expert who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You will be our primary point of contact for all import operations, managing massive volumes of 20ft and 40ft High Cube (HC) containers, which include both bulk materials and general cargo.
This position requires mandatory relocation to Iraq. We strongly welcome applications from candidates currently in India who are willing to relocate, or those who have previous work experience in Iraq.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Import Management: Oversee the complete logistics cycle for high-volume inbound shipments from port of loading to final destination in Iraq.
- Container Management: Expertly manage 20ft & 40ft HC containers, with specific experience handling both bulk-loaded cargo (e.g., grains, raw materials) and standard general cargo.
- Shipping Line Negotiation: Serve as the main liaison with all major shipping lines. Manage relationships, negotiate freight rates, track shipments, and proactively resolve issues (e.g., vessel delays, equipment shortages, demurrage, and detention).
- Customs & Clearance: Direct and manage relationships with customs clearing agents in Iraq. Ensure all import documentation (Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Packing Lists, etc.) is 100% accurate and submitted on time to guarantee smooth and rapid customs clearance.
- Problem-Solving: Proactively identify and resolve all logistics bottlenecks, documentation errors, or customs delays to minimize costs and ensure operational continuity.
- Reporting: Maintain detailed records of all shipments, costs, and transit times. Provide regular reports to senior management on import KPIs.
Required Qualifications & Skills
- Experience: 10-15 years of proven experience in import logistics, specifically working for a large-scale import company or a major shipping line.
- Volume Handling: Demonstrable experience managing very high volumes of containerized imports (hundreds of TEUs per month).
- Cargo Expertise: Must have hands-on experience managing both bulk cargo (loaded directly into containers) and general palletized/crated cargo.
- Stakeholder Management: Exceptional negotiation and relationship management skills with shipping lines and customs clearing agents.
- Language: Fluency in Arabic (spoken and written) is mandatory. Professional proficiency in English is also required.
- Relocation: Must be willing to relocate to Iraq.
Preferred Qualifications
- Candidates currently based in India with extensive international logistics experience are strongly encouraged to apply.
- Previous work experience in Iraq is a significant advantage, demonstrating a clear understanding of Iraqi port operations (e.g., Umm Qasr) and customs regulations.
- Advanced skills in logistics software and MS Excel for tracking and reporting.
What We Offer
- A highly competitive, tax-efficient salary package that reflects your skills and experience.
- Comprehensive relocation support, including visa processing, flights, and secure housing.
- A senior, impactful role within a major operation, offering significant responsibility and growth potential.
