Warehouse Manager — CFAO Mobility (Maputo)

What it's about

CFAO Mobility Mozambique — the company that officially distributes Toyota, Hino, and Suzuki brands in Mozambique — has an opening in its warehouse operations in Maputo for the position of Warehouse Manager, intended to reinforce the team in an environment described in the posting as structured, demanding, and results-oriented. The job posting presents the position's responsibilities, the required profile, and the application pathway, with a single position available.

The deadline closes on September 17, 2026, and applications are submitted via the company's official form, which the posting lists as the sole channel — the publication does not include an email address.

It is a role managing the complete logistics flow: from the moment goods enter the building to the moment shipments depart, with the team, numbers, and equipment in between. It is not an operational dock position — it is the role that plans, supervises, and is accountable for the area's key metrics.

Your day-to-day in the role

The announcement describes a role spanning the complete logistics cycle. The declared core tasks are:

• plan and coordinate the main warehouse flows — from receiving to storage, picking to packing and dispatch;
• define and manage priorities and installed capacity, balancing shifts, resources, and peak volumes;
• ensure compliance with deadlines and SLAs, both internal and client-facing;
• ensure inventory integrity, keeping movements, locations, and adjustments under control;
• conduct cycle counts and inventory audits, investigate discrepancies found, and implement corrective actions;
• define and review slotting policies — fast and slow movers —, location mapping, and space layout;
• lead mid-level management — supervisors and team leaders — and, consequently, operational teams; hold individuals accountable and monitor performance;
• develop your direct reports, strengthening leadership capacity and autonomy within the supervisory team;
• implement and maintain SOPs, 5S methodology, internal audits, and continuous improvement initiatives;
• investigate operational incidents, order picking errors, damages, and complaints, always addressing the root cause;
• define and report department KPIs to management — productivity, service, quality, costs, and safety;
• supervise the area's operational budget — costs, resources, and warehouse equipment;
• oversee relationships with operational vendors and service providers — e.g., carriers and equipment maintenance;
• ensure safe practices in operating equipment, PPE usage, cargo handling, and forklift operations;
• control access, critical areas, sensitive goods, and loss prevention.

Details omitted in the posting — team size, shift organization, and the physical warehouse address in Maputo — remain to be clarified during the selection process; arrive prepared with scenarios for typical questions for such a role: how you prioritize when two deadlines collide, or how you keep middle management aligned without distancing leadership from the shop floor.

Profile we are looking for

We are looking for a candidate with a solid track record in warehouse and logistics operations, including team leadership experience — the posting asks for years in the field, middle management experience, and a strong command of inventory management systems. The rest is technical background: IT skills, academic level, languages, and driver's license, plus a set of advantageous qualifications valued by the company —

industry background, working with targets, budget management, and certifications. Each criterion is labeled as required or advantageous in the requirements section of this page, where you should verify if you meet the essential criteria before submitting the form.

What the posting offers

Four commitments are listed in the job posting: integration into a solid international structure, working with leading brands in the sector; an organized environment with clear processes; a competitive compensation package with a variable performance-based component; and a real opportunity for professional growth. The posting does not state salary figures, working hours, or contract type — which is why the listing shows compensation as "Negotiable".

It also does not provide an email address or subject line for applications: the official channel is the company form.

How to prepare your application

Applications must be submitted via the official form of CFAO Mobility Mozambique, Lda. — application form — with a deadline of September 17, 2026. The form does not specify mandatory documents; as a best practice, attach an updated CV and a short cover note stating the position applied for and one or two concrete achievements from your warehouse management experience — quantify wherever possible.

Show that you meet the essentials: years in the field, middle management leadership experience, and English proficiency. If you hold certifications — forklifts, occupational safety, 5S/Lean, team leadership — list them: the announcement explicitly values them.
