Nhara Healthcare Industries تعلن عن وظيفة مدير أول سلسلة التوريد والخدمات اللوجستية الدولية في الرياض

Position Summary

Nhara Healthcare Industries is seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Senior Supply Chain & International Logistics Manager to own and execute end-to-end supply chain, international trade, import/export, logistics, inventory coordination and related SAP S/4HANA activities.

This is not a freight-forwarder coordination role.

Freight forwarders, customs brokers, couriers and transport companies are service providers-not substitutes for the candidate’s own supply-chain and international-trade expertise.

Manage independently:

Purchase Order → Supplier → Production Readiness → Documentation → Export → Freight → Saudi Customs → Clearance → Delivery → Warehouse → SAP S/4HANA → Inventory Availability → Closure

Outbound:

Shipment Requirement → Classification → Documentation → Customs Description → Export Requirements → Freight/Courier → Destination Requirements → Shipment → Customs Clearance → Delivery Confirmation

Know what needs to happen, how, who is responsible and when, and drive every action to completion.

1. End-to-End Supply Chain Ownership

• Personally monitor and manage open purchase orders.
• Follow suppliers from PO issuance through manufacturing, goods readiness and dispatch.
• Confirm and challenge supplier production and delivery schedules.
• Maintain visibility of raw materials, components, finished products and critical supplies.
• Identify potential shortages before they affect manufacturing or customer commitments.
• Coordinate material requirements against production plans.
• Determine when expedited, partial or alternative shipments are necessary.
• Manage supplier delivery performance and recurring supply problems.
• Maintain accurate ETDs, ETAs, goods-ready dates and delivery commitments.
• Coordinate inbound receipt with warehouse and production.
• Ensure physical receipt, documentation and SAP transactions are aligned.
• Investigate shortages, overages, damaged shipments and receiving discrepancies.
• Drive every open supply-chain action through final closure.

2. Direct International Logistics Execution

• Select air, sea, road, courier or multimodal transport based on urgency, cost, customs and product characteristics.
• Apply Incoterms and define responsibilities between Nhara, suppliers and logistics providers.
• Arrange bookings/pickups and origin export formalities.
• Track cargo, anticipate clearance, manage Saudi customs clearance and delivery to Nhara.
• Confirm physical delivery and system receipt.
• Handle urgent/production-critical and specialized freight.
• Review and negotiate freight quotations and logistics charges.
• Instruct forwarders what must be done; do not rely on them to determine the process.

3. Saudi Customs & Import/Export Expertise

Strong practical Saudi customs/import-export experience required; regulated healthcare/medical-device experience preferred.

Must understand Saudi import requirements for medical devices, finished products, raw materials, components, packaging, samples, manufacturing machinery, spare parts, testing and laboratory materials.

• Determine documentation before shipment.
• Understand and verify HS classification principles.
• Coordinate certificates of origin and required trade documents.
• Identify customs risks and resolve queries/holds.
• Work with customs brokers while retaining internal ownership.
• Coordinate with Quality/Regulatory Affairs for SFDA/regulatory documents.
• Maintain import/export records.
• Recognize and challenge incorrect/incomplete broker or forwarder information.

4. International Samples - Critical Responsibility

Own rapid, compliant medical-device sample movement into/out of Saudi Arabia for customers, hospitals, distributors, laboratories, suppliers and partners.

Determine/document:

• Accurate product description, intended purpose and material/composition where required.
• Sterile/non-sterile status; commercial vs evaluation/sample status.
• Quantity, declared value and country of origin.
• Appropriate HS classification and applicable import/export requirements.
• Supporting regulatory documentation.
• Prepare clear, accurate customs descriptions to minimize questions/delays.
• Prepare sample-shipment documentation; select courier/freight method.
• Establish destination-country requirements; coordinate inbound/outbound samples.
• Resolve customs holds; maintain reusable approved templates.
• Track every sample door-to-door until confirmed delivery.

5. Freight Forwarder & Customs Broker Management

Must have strong Saudi/international logistics network covering freight forwarders, customs brokers, air cargo, shipping lines, couriers, transport, warehouses and specialized medical-device logistics.

Forwarders/brokers are execution partners; the Manager remains accountable for shipment, documentation, timing, clearance and delivery.

6. Shipping & Trade Documentation

Prepare/review commercial/proforma invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, AWBs, bills of lading, shipping instructions, HS classifications, product/customs descriptions, import/export, freight, customs, delivery and supplier shipping documents, and applicable regulatory documents.

Review documentation before supplier dispatch; accuracy, completeness and traceability are essential.

7. SAP S/4HANA - Hands-On Requirement

Must work in SAP S/4HANA; SAP activities should not routinely be handed to an administrator. Strong practical SAP MM required; S/4HANA logistics highly desirable.

• Manage POs/open quantities and monitor supplier/inbound deliveries.
• Support/monitor goods receipt.
• Review material availability, inventory and stock status.
• Investigate PO, shipment, physical receipt and SAP discrepancies.
• Monitor outstanding materials and support inventory management.
• Maintain accurate supply-chain data.
• Understand material master and supply-chain master data.
• Work across procurement, warehouse, production and logistics.

Familiarity with MM, SD, PP and WM/EWM integration highly desirable. Must understand how the physical supply chain is represented in SAP and keep both aligned.

8. Production Supply & Material Availability

• Ensure production materials are available when needed.
• Monitor requirements against production plans; track critical/long-lead materials.
• Identify shortages early and expedite suppliers.
• Coordinate priorities across procurement, logistics, warehouse and production.
• Prevent avoidable production stoppages.
• Monitor safety stock/replenishment and optimize inventory without compromising production.
• Develop alternative supply/logistics plans for critical materials.
• Escalate risks early with proposed solutions.

9. Daily Control & Follow-Through

Exceptional personal discipline is mandatory.

Maintain daily control of:

Open POs • Supplier production • Goods-ready dates • Pickup bookings • Documentation • ETDs • ETAs • Customs clearance • Deliveries • Material shortages • Samples • SAP receipts • Discrepancies • Supplier commitments • Regulatory documents • Critical spare parts

Every open item must have:

Current Status → Responsible Person → Next Action → Due Date → Follow-Up → Closure

Review critical items daily. Sending an email is not completion; follow up until the result is achieved and documented. Nothing should fall through because a supplier, broker, forwarder or internal employee failed to respond.

10. Quality & Medical-Device Documentation

Combine speed/commercial execution with quality-system discipline in Nhara’s regulated medical-device environment.

• Follow applicable QMS procedures and maintain traceable supply-chain records.
• Ensure correct documentation accompanies incoming materials/products.
• Work with Quality on receiving discrepancies and supplier nonconformities.
• Support supplier investigations, CAPA/root-cause investigations and supplier/material/logistics change control.
• Support audits.
• Maintain records and ensure transactions withstand regulatory/quality review.

In medical-device manufacturing, speed without documentation is not successful execution.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business, Industrial Engineering or related discipline.
• 8-15+ years of substantial supply-chain and international logistics experience.
• Extensive practical experience importing goods into Saudi Arabia.
• Strong Saudi customs/import-export knowledge.
• Experience preparing/reviewing international shipping documents and HS classification.
• Strong Incoterms and international freight knowledge.
• Experience managing urgent international shipments; international sample-shipment experience highly desirable.
• Medical devices, pharmaceuticals, healthcare manufacturing or another regulated industry strongly preferred.
• Strong hands-on SAP S/4HANA, particularly MM and logistics processes.
• Excellent English; Arabic highly desirable.
• Established Saudi freight-forwarding, customs and logistics relationships preferred.

The Profile We Are Looking For

Nhara is not looking for a candidate whose logistics experience consists primarily of sending shipment details to forwarders and following up for status updates. We need the internal supply-chain expert.

The candidate should receive a requirement and independently determine:

What needs to move →From where →By when →Under which Incoterm →With which documentation →Under which classification →By which transport method → Through which customs process → At what cost → Into which inventory location → Through which SAP transactions → What happens next.

Ideal candidate should:

• Know the status of every critical shipment without needing to ask others.
• Understand documentation and discuss clearance problems technically with customs brokers.
• Challenge freight forwarders and identify incorrect supplier shipping documents.
• Anticipate customs issues before shipment.
• Understand how international freight actually moves.
• Be exceptionally organized and comfortable in SAP S/4HANA.
• Follow critical actions daily and escalate problems early.
• Bring management solutions/options, not simply problems.
• Maintain control during urgent shipments and production needs.
• Take personal ownership until goods/samples physically reach their destination and the transaction is properly closed.
