Don't let the title fool you. This is a broad logistics and supply chain operations role – with a customer service team attached – at the Belgian production site of an established international manufacturing group whose products are distributed worldwide.
You will sit at the operational heart of a compact, close-knit site, owning the full order-to-delivery chain across EMEA. One day you are optimising freight routes and negotiating with carriers; the next you are steering excise compliance through an audit or resolving a cross-border shipping issue before it reaches a customer. You will lead a small customer service team and work daily with production planning, sales and finance. No layers, no bureaucracy, full visibility.

- Work in a culture that values prioritisation, clear communication and delivering quality without wasted effort

What's On Offer
