Gross fixed salary per year for a Junior Logistics Manager (1-3 years of experience, typically the first management-adjacent role after a trainee programme or a logistics coordinator position) at a German SMB. Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Hamburg pull the range up by 5-10 %; rural regions and the East pull it down. A relevant degree (industrial engineering, logistics management or supply chain management) or a completed trainee programme pulls up; a career change with no logistics-specific training pulls down. The role usually has no structural variable component at this level.
