Logistics Compliance Manager


Full-time: 38 hours per week

Action is one of the fastest-growing retailers in Europe. We operate around 2,600 stores, are active in 12 countries, and opened more than 300 stores last year. To continue our success and support our stores, we operate an extensive DC network consisting of 14 Distribution Centres in 6 countries, container hubs, X-docs, and several other logistics functions. The DC network will grow in line with store expansion, resulting in 1–2 new DCs each year, starting operations in new countries annually. The DC network also needs to handle the assortment planned for our stores.
