In this dynamic role, you are continuously working on improving store operations. Your range of tasks is very diverse:

• Project management: you independently run projects that have a direct impact on the stores. Think of the digitalization of operations via new systems and applications, or the optimization of store processes.
• Gatekeeper for operations: you represent the interests of store operations in everything we do. You work closely with other departments (such as Customer, HR, IT, Supply Chain, and Logistics) and assess whether the choices made there are workable and in the interest of the branches.
• Stakeholder management: you are the listening ear for operations. You actively gather feedback from the regions and branches and know how to seamlessly connect different interests and departments.
• Rolling out guidelines and improving processes: you translate new, often international, guidelines to the branches. You work these out down to the last detail and ensure a successful, clear rollout to all regions and branches, while ensuring support at all levels. Additionally, you come up with your own improvement proposals to enhance processes in the branches.

To be successful in this role, you switch effortlessly between strategic thinking and pragmatic action. You understand that a good idea on paper only truly works when it is embraced on the shop floor. Furthermore, you bring the following:

• Organizational sensitivity and stakeholder management: you are a connector pur sang. You are a good listener, you empathize with operations, and at the same time, you stand firm in your shoes to push back against other departments.
• Analytically and process-oriented strength: you quickly see through complex processes, identify where the bottlenecks are, and know how to turn them into concrete improvements.
• Communicative strength: you are able to translate complex (international) theories or guidelines into understandable, bite-sized information for the shop floor. You speak fluent Dutch and have a good command of English.
• Mentality: you are proactive, decisive, and have the no-nonsense mentality that fits Lidl. You think in solutions and get energy from an environment that is always in motion.
