Job Description
The Logistics Coordinator role at Taphandles UK is responsible for managing the complex logistics around our worldwide business. Taphandles UK brings new beverage dispense concepts, mainly bespoke beer fonts, from idea to reality. We help breweries and beverage companies sell their products by making them stand out against their competition. You’ll be proud to see the product of your work at the local pub or restaurant serving beverages from the fonts you helped bring to market.
Taphandles UK is a technical leader, meaning we take on and succeed at the most challenging projects. We delight our customers by creating solutions they didn’t think were possible. Taphandles UK manages worldwide projects across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, and South America.
The Logistics Coordinator responsibilities include managing our UK store room, tracking inventory, physically receiving, and shipping products coming in by air freight, container freight, and local delivery. Additional responsibilities include managing and purchasing from local suppliers and freight forwarders, and executing tasks at our Witney workshop.
On shipping days, you'll prepare pallets of shipments and drive a fork truck for loading and unloading. This currently happens about 2 days per month but is planned to grow. For the rest of the month, this is an office job communicating with freight forwarders, vendors, and our internal team to ensure everything is moving around the world as needed.
The Logistics Coordinator is a key role that involves high levels of cross-functional collaboration to drive accountability, continuous improvement, and optimize outcomes that achieve business objectives. Skills such as leadership, communication, time management, adaptation, and critical thinking are appreciated. Being detail-oriented and reading through documents thoroughly is critical.
This job will be a full-time in-person role located in Witney, Oxfordshire, UK.
