X is a well-established consumer electronics brand across the Middle East, now entering the Spanish market. As Supply Chain Manager, you will build and run the end-to-end supply chain for Spain from the ground up: getting products from our manufacturing and regional hubs to Spanish retailers, e-commerce channels, and customers on time, compliant, and at the right cost.

This is a launch role. You will set up the partners, processes, and planning rhythms that a new market needs, then scale them as volume grows.

What you'll do

Design the Spain and wider EU supply chain model, including warehousing, transport lanes, and fulfilment for retail, online, and distributor channels.

Select, contract, and manage third-party logistics (3PL) providers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, and last-mile carriers in Spain.

Manage inbound flows from our manufacturing sites and regional hubs in the Middle East and Asia, covering ocean, air, and road freight, with a focus on transit time, cost, and reliability.

Ensure import compliance for consumer electronics in the EU: customs clearance, tariff classification, CE marking, RoHS, WEEE, battery regulations, and packaging and labeling requirements, working with legal and quality teams.

Lead demand and supply planning with Sales and Marketing, including launch forecasts, safety stock, replenishment, and promotional peaks such as Black Friday and Christmas.

Own inventory health in Spain: stock accuracy, aging, obsolescence,



and working capital targets.

Set up returns, repairs, and warranty logistics, including reverse flows and spare parts, in line with Spanish consumer protection rules.

Build supply chain KPIs and reporting (OTIF, fill rate, landed cost, inventory turns) and run regular reviews with partners and leadership.

Manage supplier and partner risk, including contingency plans for port delays, component shortages, and demand swings.

What you'll bring

10+ years in supply chain, logistics, or operations, with at least 3 in consumer electronics, FMCG, or another fast-moving, high-value product category.

Proven experience launching or scaling a supply chain in a new market, ideally in Spain or Southern Europe.

Strong working knowledge of EU import and customs processes, Incoterms, and electronics compliance (CE, RoHS, WEEE).

Experience managing 3PLs, forwarders, and carriers, including contract negotiation and performance management.

Solid demand planning and inventory management skills, with fluency in ERP and planning tools (SAP, Oracle, or similar) and advanced Excel or BI.

Fluent Spanish and professional English;

Comfort working across cultures and time zones with headquarters, factories, and local partners.

A hands‑on, problem‑solving mindset and the ability to work independently in a start‑up-like setting inside an established company.
