Job Description:

The "Supply Chain & Logistics" organization of Airbus Commercial has launched the OPTIFLOW platform to drive the transformation of its global operations.

• Develop an Inbound Control Tower solution covering all flows, from suppliers to warehouses (all Incoterm options: DAP, FCA, etc.) as well as plant-to-plant flows. The solution's scope encompasses the make-or-buy strategy, organizational principles, digital software suites, and business cases.
  
• Deploy the full suite of digital tools including a real-time transport visibility platform, a Transport Management System (TMS), ticketing tools, freight invoice audit tools, and optimization tools.
  
• Improve the transport demand data structure to enable accurate performance reporting, robust root cause analysis, and truck load optimization.
  
• Adapt the current transport operating model (4PL-3PL) by integrating the new make-or-buy strategy, upskilling teams, and updating processes, to ensure activity ramp-up and strengthen resilience.
