Logistics Specialist Import & Export (m/f/d)

Europe's industrial base cannot respond at the speed modern conflict requires. Legacy suppliers operate on month-long timelines. Tribal knowledge is retiring. Supply chains are fragile. SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories — the infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed.
A factory that ships in days rather than months is only as fast as what moves in and out of it. Our materials, equipment, and parts cross borders — between European countries, and out to customers in defense, aerospace, and space. Every tariff classification, every export declaration, every forwarder who doesn't deliver is a potential standstill at the end of the line.
Until now, this has been handled across several people. From here on, it belongs to one.

ou are the first person at SAEKI to own import and export end to end. Early on, that means doing it yourself: you run the day-to-day execution, clean up where processes are improvised, and build the structure underneath as you go — customs procedures, export control, service provider landscape, ERP data.
We're growing fast, and this function grows with us. One person becomes a team. Whoever takes this role now decides what logistics at SAEKI looks like in three years — which providers we use, which processes run, which systems we're on, and who operates them. That isn't a promise of a title; it's a realistic path: build the function well, and you lead it.
Based in the greater Munich area, on-site at Factory ONE.

Your Responsibilities

• Import & export execution: You handle national and international shipments end to end — including shipping and customs documentation, tariff classification, and proofs of origin.
• Cross-border movements: You own transport between our Swiss and German sites, as well as to customers and suppliers across Europe and beyond.
• Export control: You build how we assess and document dual-use and export-controlled matters — not an optional topic in our markets.
• Provider management: You select forwarders and logistics service providers, negotiate terms, and keep performance and cost transparent.
• Process building: You turn recurring activities into documented processes — written so they hold up when someone other than you runs them.
• ERP & data: You keep logistics data in the ERP clean, current, and usable, and help shape how the system is set up for logistics.
• Interface role: You work closely with procurement, production, and engineering, and you're the point where delivery dates become commitments.
• Scaling: You recognise when the work outgrows one person, and build the next stage with us — processes, tools, team.
