Nice to Have

• In-depth knowledge of Microsoft Business Central (BC) for data collection and reporting.
• Experience training and mentoring colleagues on Lean and process optimization.
• Familiarity with financial analysis and budget management.
• Ability to manage change in fast-paced environments.
• Understanding of industry trends and best practices in warehouse and back-office operations.

Your Role

• Streamline warehouse and back-office operations by applying Lean principles, eliminating waste, and improving efficiency.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives across Supply Chain functions, with a strong focus on operational excellence.
• Design, implement, and monitor a KPI structure to track performance and highlight areas for optimization.
• Analyze data from the Business Central (BC) system and use insights to drive operational improvements.
• Prepare reports and recommendations for management.
• Identify process bottlenecks and implement practical, sustainable solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional departments (operations, logistics, HR) to ensure smooth workflows and alignment of processes.
• Provide training and guidance to colleagues on Lean methodologies and process optimization practices.

What we offer

• An attractive salary package
• Private medical care (Luxmed), Multisport card, and group life insurance
