Are you ready to lead a team that makes a difference every day in transport solutions for our Contract Logistics customers? At DSV, you will get the opportunity to further strengthen structure, performance, and collaboration within the South-East Netherlands region.

As Supervisor Transport Solutions, you are responsible for the daily management and development of a team of 5 colleagues. Your team ensures efficient, reliable, and cost-conscious transport solutions for one of our customers within Contract Logistics. You bring oversight, set priorities, and ensure that customer agreements, carrier performance, and operational processes align well: you contribute to this.

How do you do this? You combine operational management with stakeholder management and continuous improvement. You monitor the performance of transport activities, resolve escalations, and act as a key link between customers, carriers, warehouse operations, account management, and management. You ensure a clear way of working, develop your team, and take initiative to make processes smarter, more consistent, and future-proof. You achieve this by:

• leading and developing a team of 5 direct reports, including coaching, capacity planning, performance reviews, and stimulating ownership;

• improving processes and working in a data-driven manner by analyzing transport data, identifying opportunities for improvement, and implementing best practices within Transport Solutions.

Your team stands out within DSV due to the combination of transport expertise, customer focus, and ownership. Together, you ensure a reliable transport operation, maximum visibility on performance, and a solid foundation for further growth of Transport Solutions within Contract Logistics.

DSV is a global provider of transport and logistics services. With offices in more than 90 countries and a growing network of partners, there is no place in the world we cannot reach via air transport, by sea, by rail, via couriers, or by road, or where we can offer storage in warehouses.

The beautiful thing about this role is that you have a direct influence on the quality, structure, and further professionalization of our transport solutions, according to Stefan Stoelinga, Director Transport Solutions.

In the Netherlands, we work from more than 40 locations, with more than 5,000 colleagues. Together, we take on the challenge brought about by a rapidly changing environment. We make fast decisions at every level and combine ambition and teamwork. This is how we move forward and make a difference together.

• HBO (higher professional education) working and thinking level, preferably in logistics, supply chain, business administration, or similar;
• at least 5 years of experience within transport, distribution, or supply chain, preferably within a logistics service provider;
• experience in managing, coaching, or coordinating a team in an operational environment;
• strong communication skills and the ability to effectively connect customers, carriers, and internal stakeholders;
• analytical ability, result-orientedness, and experience with KPIs, reporting, and process improvement;
• excellent command of the Dutch and English languages.

It all counts for this vacancy of Supervisor Transport Solutions in the SON region. Furthermore, it is naturally important that you feel at home with us. That will certainly go well if you like to take responsibility, provide direction to a team, and want to grow with DSV.
