Requirements

What we're looking for

HBO work and thinking level: You have a completed HBO degree (for example in Business Administration, Logistics, or Supply Chain Management) or have demonstrable work experience.
Seniority and leadership: You have demonstrable experience in managing and motivating operational teams, without being bossy.
Analytical and decisive: You know how to effortlessly translate operational data and KPIs into concrete actions and improvements on the shop floor.
Reliable: An agreement is an agreement; arriving on time and taking responsibility are second nature to you.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

Salary: A gross monthly salary between € 3,060 and € 4,070 (based on 40 hours), scaled according to your seniority and background.
13x salary: We pay out every 4 weeks, so you receive 13 times your wages per year.
Allowances: Do you work early hours, evenings, or weekends? Then you will receive clear irregularity allowances.
Hours & balance: 36 to 40 hours per week
Travel expenses: € 0.23 per kilometer for one-way trips between 10 and 25 km.
Holiday & pension: 25 vacation days per year and solid pension accrual.
Development: Training opportunities and coaching to continuously sharpen your leadership skills.

The role

To be clear from the start: as an operational manager, you combine strong leadership on the shop floor with a sharp, inquisitive eye for smarter processes.

What you'll do

As a senior manager, you ensure calm, overview, and progress on the floor. Your role rests on three clear operational pillars:

Directing and coaching on the shop floor: You start shifts with focus, distribute staffing, and build a down-to-earth working atmosphere in which colleagues hold each other accountable and support one another.
Analyzing and optimizing processes: With your perspective, you look beyond the daily grind; you identify waste, solve recurring bottlenecks, and bring structure to the workflows.
Providing direction to your department: Together, we coordinate where you take the lead; with the early departure times and trips within Transport, the flow and order picking in Logistics, or the strict administrative and physical control in Inventory Management.

How you'll work

The hospitality and service sectors never stand still, and every discipline has its own rhythm. In transport, the first vehicles depart early between 05:00 and 07:00, and within logistics, shifts continue through the afternoon and evening. Our halls consist of regular storage, cooling, and freezer cells (-24°C).

We are looking for a strong personality who understands operational processes and speaks the down-to-earth language of the team.
