Context

In a context of rapid European expansion, a growing premium cosmetics company is looking for a hands-on Logistics & Operations Coordinator to stabilize and drive the performance of its external logistics operations.

This role is part of a small, entrepreneurial structure, where resources are limited, decisions are fast, and impact is immediate.

There is no internal warehouse, no dedicated operations team on site — you will play a central role in ensuring that operations run smoothly on a daily basis.

 

About the Company

Our client is an independent, fast-growing player in the premium cosmetics sector, expanding across several European markets (France, Benelux, Germany, UK).

The organization remains lean and agile, relying entirely on external logistics partners (3PL and transport providers).

This creates a dynamic but demanding environment where ownership, adaptability, and execution discipline are critical.

 

Your Role

You will act as the local operational point of contact, ensuring the reliability of order fulfilment and the quality of execution across external partners.

This is not a formal managerial role, but it requires a strong level of autonomy, ownership, and the ability to influence partners without direct authority.

You will operate in a low-structure environment, where priorities evolve quickly and where hands-on involvement is part of the role.
