Sportamore Chief Logistics Officer

Sportamore is the leading sporting goods e-tailer in the Nordics. We are a fast-growing pure player that is currently looking for a world class candidate to join our executive team. Every month five million visitors come to us looking for inspiration, information and motivation -  making us the by far largest online destination in the Nordics for sporting goods consumers.
Over the last years we have received multiple awards; best retailer, best customer service and best e-commerce of the year – and we are just getting started.  In 2017 we invested in a new, state of the art, highly automated fulfillment center which tripled our capacity to handle customer orders. The foundation for growth has never been better.

We are now moving on, ready to write the next chapter of our story. To maximize our potential, we are looking for someone to lead the charge in elevating our supply chain and overdeliver on customers last mile expectations. Expectations are high – you are working for the most agile and fastmoving company in the business. You have an outstanding track record showing that you have the skills and capacity required to excel in the job managing an organization under constant development with multiple stakeholders and no room for errors. You are a competitive person who loves optimizing processes and saving seconds – all in benefit of a faster delivery and better experience for our most important asset – our customers. The logistic field is your home and you know how, and who to call, to make not only our fulfillment function thrive, but also to create success others never could dream of.
Your three most important priorities will be to:

Actively decrease lead time and implement new user-friendly delivery options in all markets.
Vigorously increase and optimize fulfillment center capacity.
Actively evolve Sportamores inbound supply chain to maximize efficiency and support strategic objectives.
