Operations Manager Warehousing

As Operations Manager Warehousing, you are responsible for an important part of our warehousing activities within the Benelux, with 3 warehouses totaling over 65,000 m2. You direct daily operations and are responsible for optimization, financial performance and further development. In doing so, you ensure efficient, safe and customer-focused execution of logistics processes.

You are part of the local and broader management team of Vos Logistics and operate at the intersection of strategy, tactics and operations. You translate long-term objectives into concrete improvements and drive performance, productivity, quality, service, costs, capacity and financial results.

You play an important role in making our warehouse operations future-proof. You promote digitalization and data-driven working and leverage new technologies, including AI, to make processes smarter, more efficient and more predictable. Sustainability is also part of your role: you continuously seek opportunities to streamline processes and logistics flows and reduce our ecological footprint.

You look ahead and provide input for the long-term vision and strategy of the warehouses. You forecast volumes and the required capacity of people and resources and contribute to decisions on investments in mechanization, automation and robotics. You also play an active role in implementing new customers and processes. This gives you real room to change, improve and build.

You strengthen the teams within operations and create a culture of ownership and continuous improvement. You coach and develop employees, ensure proper staffing and encourage collaboration. You lead with trust and clarity and create an environment where learning, accountability and shared responsibility are self-evident. At the same time, you ensure compliance with laws and regulations, company procedures, customer agreements and safety requirements.

You look beyond the warehouse walls. You maintain and develop customer relationships, discuss performance and customer satisfaction and monitor contract and SLA agreements. Using reports and data, you translate insights into concrete improvements. Additionally, you recognize commercial opportunities and work with customers and internal stakeholders to find solutions that fit both operationally and commercially.
