DC Specialist

About the Position

We are looking for a DC Specialist to join our team at foodpanda, a part of the Delivery Hero Group. As a DC Specialist, you will manage daily operations, ensure inventory integrity, and oversee quality checks in our distribution center.

Responsibilities

• Daily Operations

  • Run a fixed daily rhythm covering floor walk, shift huddle, KPI review, receiving oversight, dispatch supervision, and end-of-day handover.
  • Oversee inbound receiving, putaway, picking, QC, and dispatch so stock reaches dark stores on time and in full.
  • Escalate issues the same day to the Distribution Center Lead instead of letting them accumulate.

• Store Transfers and Fill Rate

  • Ensure every requested quantity is sent against its Store Transfer (ST) reference and every ST is completed.
  • Keep cancelled and reverse STs at zero by clearing pending and aging STs before they become cancellations.
  • Check the running fill rate through the day and intervene early if it is trending below target.

• Inventory Integrity

  • Own the monthly cycle count of all SKUs, split into a daily count plan with minimal discrepancy.
  • Personally review and approve every cycle count adjustment, so you know about each one.
  • Enforce Location Based Inventory (LBI) so pickers always know where a product is, with full compliance.
  • Share the list of SKUs expiring within 60 days with the commercial team in the first week of each month, so discounts can reduce shrinkage.

• Quality, Invoices, and Reporting

  • Ensure QC checks are logged on every dispatch.
  • Resolve quantity mismatches and upload invoices to the shared drive daily before 8 PM.
  • Send a daily end-of-day KPI report and a monthly scorecard to the Distribution Center Lead.

• People

  • Lead, coach, and set standards for supervisors and floor staff, including attendance, shift planning, and training of new joiners.
  • Build competence in each role at the DC, from supervisors to the inventory team.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain, logistics, business, or a related field.
• 2+ years in warehouse, distribution, or inventory operations, including 2+ years managing supervisors and large floor teams.
• Proven track record in inventory accuracy: cycle counts, discrepancy investigation, and shrinkage control.
• Strong working knowledge of Excel or Google Sheets for daily KPI tracking and reporting.
• Discipline to follow a fixed daily routine, with sound judgment on when to escalate.
• Willingness to work on-site in a high-volume, time-sensitive environment, including peak days.

We Offer

• Opportunity to work in a dynamic and fast-growing company.
• Be part of a global team with operations in around 65 countries.
• Professional growth and development opportunities.
