Job description

Are you passionate about turning data into powerful insights that drive real operational change? As a Logistics Business Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in optimizing our European logistics network—connecting data, performance, and people to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and elevate service levels. This is more than an analytical role. You’ll be a driver of improvement, a challenger of the status quo, and a trusted partner to logistics, supply chain, and commercial teams.

Your Mission

• Strengthen decision‑making across the organization
• Increase cost awareness and operational transparency
• Optimize warehousing, transportation, and distribution flows
• Support strategic initiatives and continuous improvement

What You’ll Be Doing

Data Analysis & Business Insights

• Develop and maintain dashboards and reports that enable data‑driven decision‑making
• Translate data from multiple systems into clear, reliable insights
• Support network optimization projects with analytical modelling and recommendations
• Build and quantify business cases to evaluate opportunities and investments
• Provide deep insights into logistics cost structures and performance trends

Warehouse Optimization

• Analyze performance gaps and identify cost‑saving opportunities
• Improve reverse logistics processes and reduce supply chain complaints
• Drive initiatives such as cost‑to‑serve optimisation and waste reduction
• Monitor actual vs. expected operational performance

Transport & Distribution Improvements

• Support optimisation of transportation flows between plants, warehouses, and customers
• Collaborate closely with 3PL partners to enhance efficiency and service levels
• Assist with onboarding new logistics providers and expanding services
• Develop tools that improve delivery reliability and time‑service performance

Project & Stakeholder Leadership

• Lead and support cross‑functional improvement initiatives
• Build strong partnerships with logistics, sales, and supply chain teams
• Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement
• Ensure compliance with safety, legal, and operational standards
• Deliver sustainable solutions to recurring operational challenges

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, or related field
• 2–3 years of experience in logistics, preferably in an international food or FMCG environment
• Experience working with multiple stakeholders in complex organisations
• Strong analytical toolkit: SQL, Python, R, or VBA
• Experience with Power BI or similar visualisation tools
• Ability to connect and structure data from multiple systems
• Familiarity with SAP, IBP, or Coupa/Llamasoft is a plus
• Fluent in Dutch and English (spoken and written)

Who You Are

• A proactive self‑starter with a “can‑do” mentality
• Analytical yet pragmatic—you turn insights into action
• Comfortable navigating complexity and deadlines
• A collaborative partner who builds trust across teams
• Resilient, structured, and focused on solutions
• Someone who doesn’t just analyse problems—you fix them

Ready to Turn Insight into Impact? If you thrive at the intersection of data, logistics, and improvement, we’d love to hear from you.

We offer you a challenging job in a dynamic and growing organisation in the food industry. We challenge you to grow in the same way as our company, where development is key.
