International Logistics Coordinator

Purpose of the role: Treat every client order as a project and drive it from confirmation to invoice. Sit at the crossroads of Sales, Supply Chain, Quality, Finance, carriers, suppliers and clients — in France and internationally — and make sure every shipment leaves on time, at the right cost, with the right documents, while the client always knows where it stands.

Impact on the business: Reliable execution turns a signed order into revenue and a repeat client. This role protects the order-to-cash cycle, client satisfaction and margin — and offers a front-row seat on how an international scale-up runs.

Key Responsibilities

• Track every shipment in real time, anticipate delays and fix issues before they reach the client
• Make sure invoicing follows delivery milestones, accurately and on time

Internal Coordination

• Communication skills: clear and concise in writing and on the phone, comfortable with partners from different cultures
• Rigour and organisation: you juggle several files at once without losing a detail
