Jouw Rol

Jij staat in het hart van onze missie om handmatig, foutgevoelig en repeterend werk te elimineren. Met data en procesanalyse identificeer je inefficiënties, ontwerp je slimmere workflows en implementeer je oplossingen die ons richting volledig geautomatiseerde terminals brengen. Dit is geen rol in de dagelijkse planning, maar een strategische rol waarin jij onze planning en operaties naar het niveau van wereldklasse e-commerce tilt met staal in alle kwaliteiten, afmetingen en vormen als ons kernproduct.

  • Intensief samenwerken met de Data Analyst en het Customer Value Team om inzichten om te zetten in actie
  • Leidinggeven aan implementatieprojecten met operationele teams, met focus op soepele adoptie en meetbare resultaten
  • Definiëren en bewaken van KPI’s om succes tastbaar te maken (bijv. foutreductie, tijdbesparing, automatiseringsgraad)
  • Stimuleren van een cultuur van continu verbeteren met methodieken zoals Lean, Six Sigma of Kaizen

Wat Jij Meebrengt

  • Sterke analytische mindset met aantoonbare ervaring in procesverbetering, operations analytics of digitale transformatie
  • Hands-on kennis van tools zoals Excel, Power BI en procesmapping software; bekendheid met SQL, Python/R of WMS/TMS/ERP-systemen is een sterke pré
  • Affiniteit met automatisering, digitalisering en schaalbare businessmodellen (ervaring met e-commerce of platformgedreven operaties is zeer gewaardeerd)
  • Uitstekende communicatieve vaardigheden en stakeholdermanagement – in staat om te overtuigen en teams mee te nemen
  • Proactieve, praktische instelling met de drive om niet alleen te analyseren, maar ook daadwerkelijk te implementeren
  • Ervaring in logistiek, productie, warehousing of supply chain optimalisatie is een sterke plus
  • Beschikbaarheid voor parttime of hybride werk

Waarom Jij Voor Ons Kiest

  • Flexibiliteit om parttime en/of hybride te werken
  • Een vooruitstrevend en ambitieus team waarin je direct de toekomst van onze logistieke operaties mee vormgeeft
  • De unieke kans om de efficiëntie- en automatiseringsmentaliteit van Amazon en bol.com te vertalen naar de B2B-staalindustrie
  • Ruimte om te groeien en eigenaarschap te nemen over strategische verbeterprojecten met grote impact
