  • Manage import and export flows across multiple countries (Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso, Ghana, etc.).
  • Ensure full compliance with customs regulations and tariff classifications to mitigate risks.
  • Handle customs and shipping documentation (certificates of origin, invoices, landing factors, transit and clearance documents).
  • Collaborate with freight forwarders and customs authorities to streamline operations and negotiate duty exemptions when applicable.
  • Monitor and optimize costs related to customs duties, incoterms, and insurance logistics.

2. Procurement & Vendor Management

  • Manage the procurement of goods and services across all business operations (office equipment, operational supplies, external services, cleaning, shop insurance, IT equipment, branding, etc.).
  • Manage the end-to-end procurement cycle, from supplier selection and contract negotiation to performance tracking.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities and optimize expenditure.
  • Develop and maintain strong supplier relationships, ensuring quality, reliability, and competitive pricing.
  • Ensure all purchases comply with internal policies and regulatory requirements.

3. Performance Tracking & Process Optimization

  • Develop dashboards and provide accurate reporting on procurement, logistics costs, and stock management.
  • Implement process automation tools to improve purchasing and import-export operations.
  • Work closely with finance, logistics, and marketing teams to enhance data integration and traceability.
  • Manage new product introductions, ensuring compliance with customs regulations and potential exemptions.
  • Oversee all import and export activities in alignment with customs requirements.

You might be a strong candidate if you;

  • Bachelor's degree in Logistics & Supply Chain Management, International Trade, Procurement, Business Administration, or a closely related discipline.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in procurement, supply chain, import-export, or international logistics.
  • Good knowledge of West African customs and tax procedures.
  • Proven track record in strategic procurement and supplier negotiations.
  • Proficiency in SAP (procurement, inventory, and logistics management).
  • Good Excel skills (pivot tables, advanced data knowledge).
  • In-depth knowledge of Incoterms, tariff classifications, and customs regulations.
  • Experience in cost optimization and contract management.
  • Fluency in French & English (written and spoken) is essential for managing supplier and partner relationships.
  • Strategic mindset to identify process optimization opportunities.
  • Attention to detail & compliance focus to prevent disputes and ensure regulatory adherence.
  • Proactive & innovative approach to explore cost-saving strategies and duty exemptions.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
