Build and own our international logistics backbone.
Are you a logistics expert who thinks like a project manager? At Off-Grid Europe, we don’t just ship boxes; we deploy critical energy infrastructure to rural Senegal, remote parts of Africa, and emergency zones. We are now looking for a senior, digitally fluent logistics professional to take ownership of our global export and purchasing operations and to modernize them into a robust, scalable, fully digital logistics function.
Location: Pfullendorf, Germany | Start Date: Immediately | Type: Full-time (incl. International Travel)
Tasks
Your Mission: Strategic Oversight & Operational Excellence
In this dual-role, you are the backbone of our international operations. You don't just follow processes—you build, digitize, and lead them.
* End-to-End Project Management: You maintain a "helicopter view" of the entire logistics chain, from supplier coordination to customs clearance to final delivery in Africa and other non-EU markets.
* Process Engineering in Odoo: Logistics at OGE is fully digital. You work natively in ERP systems and take ownership of logistics-related data, workflows, and structure.
* Complex Export & Customs: You lead the processing of sea and air freight, managing all export declarations, certificates of origin, and Letters of Credit (L/C) for African markets.
* Strategic Purchasing: You negotiate with international suppliers and freight forwarders, optimizing costs and securing lead times for critical components.
* On-Ground Problem Solving: You aren't afraid to get your hands dirty. When a project hits a snag, you are willing to travel to our project sites or ports to resolve logistics bottlenecks in person.
Requirements
What You Bring to the Table
We are looking for a senior profile with a "can-do" attitude and a high level of professional discipline. We are explicitly looking for someone who knows international logistics and customs in practice, not in theory.
* Experience: At least 3-5 years of professional experience in international logistics, export, or supply chain management.
* Customs Expertise: In-depth knowledge of Incoterms 2020, customs law, and the specific regulatory challenges of exporting to African nations.
* Digital Mindset: You are fully comfortable working digitally and structurally in ERP systems. You think in workflows, data consistency, and automation—not spreadsheets and emails.
* Languages: Business fluent in German and English is a must. (French is a plus).
* Mentality: You are a proactive decision-maker who thrives under pressure. You possess a tidy, structured working style and the flexibility to travel internationally as needed.
* Africa Experience: Ideally, you have already worked "on the ground" in Africa or have extensive experience dealing with the logistical nuances of the continent.
Benefits
What We Offer You
* Impact: A key role with real responsibility in a company driving the global green energy transition.
* Growth: The freedom to shape your own department and implement your own digital strategies. Direct influence on how logistics is structured, digitized, and scaled.
* Culture and Benefits: An international team with flat hierarchies and quick decision-making. A fully equipped kitchen, free drinks/coffee, and regular team events.
We are looking forward to your application!
