Senior Logistics Specialist

Stark builds the worlds most powerful electric motorcycles. From the VARG MX to the road-legal VARG EX & SM our bikes have won world championships and are engineered to outperform anything with a combustion engine.

Were based in Sant Boi Barcelona growing fast (77% year-on-year) and building a team that will take us even further. If you want to work on a product that people are genuinely obsessed with this is it.

Stark will become the global market leader in premium motorcycles. Building premium motorcycles requires innovation and we need your help to make us succeed.

Our mission is to lead the way towards a sustainable motorcycle industry by reducing plastic and CO2 pollution.

This will be achieved by building sustainable products that are superior to traditional technology in terms of Performance Emotion and Design.

Our Logistics team keeps Starks global flows moving every day in both directions and across every market we sell in. Its a fast hands-on operation and its growing quickly.

Were looking for a Senior Logistics Specialist to strengthen it. Youll work across our flows end to end (including the returns and reverse flows that come with a product built around batteries) sorting out whats stuck today improving what keeps getting stuck and making sure the way we work keeps us on the right side of customs and battery shipping rules without slowing us down.

Youll sit alongside our Inbound and Outbound Managers reporting to the Global Logistics Manager. You wont manage a team but youll be one of the people this operation relies on.

Keep the operation moving

• Get involved where flows are blocked delayed or going wrong and see them through to resolution

• Work directly with our transport partners and warehouses to sort out problems and keep them sorted

• Keep the teams who depend on us - Production Sales and Aftersales - informed when something is at risk before they have to ask

• Make sure our logistics data reflects whats actually happening so decisions are made on something real

Own our reverse flows

• Take ownership of returns and reverse logistics end to end: bikes parts and batteries coming back from dealers and customers

• Set up and run the process for returning moving and storing batteries safely and compliantly including damaged and end-of-life packs

• Work with Aftersales and Quality so warranty and defective returns move quickly instead of sitting in a corner of a warehouse

• Manage the flows to our recycling and repair partners and keep the documentation and traceability behind them in order

• Build reverse logistics into something planned and measured rather than something that happens to us

Improve how we work

• Find where our flows lose time money and service quality and fix the causes rather than the symptoms

• Simplify and standardise the way we do things and document it so it holds when people are away or new people join

• Cut out manual steps and duplicated work and push for the right tools where a process needs one

• Track how were performing in cost transit time reliability and use it to argue for change

Keep goods clearing borders without drama

• Keep shipments moving through customs and when something gets held get it released and then fix whatever caused it

• Make sure the paperwork is right first time by improving how its produced rather than correcting it shipment by shipment

• Work with our brokers and forwarders to sort out clearances quickly and make sure the same problem doesnt come back next month

• Keep our battery shipments running properly with the partners who handle them: packaging labelling and declarations that hold up wherever they land

• Turn the rules we have to follow into simple ways of working the team can apply without thinking twice

Required

• 5 years in international logistics transport or distribution with real hands-on operational experience

• Experience with customs procedures export/import documentation and Incoterms

• Experience working with freight forwarders carriers and warehouse partners and holding them to what they promised

• ERP experience ideally Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

• The instinct to fix the cause rather than the symptom and the persistence to see it through

• Fluent English

Nice to have

• Spanish

• Experience shipping dangerous goods particularly lithium batteries (UN3480 / UN3566) under ADR IATA or IMDG or the appetite to get certified in it

• Experience with returns warranty flows or reverse logistics

• Experience with BI tools dashboards or workflow automation

• Competitive salary and benefits package

• 30 days paid vacation

• Subsidised in-house restaurant

• Free gym access including weekends

• Direct access to our products riders and race teams

• A creative international team based in Sant Boi

• A logistics function growing fast enough that what you build here will still be running in three years
