At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.

We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go.

Join EY and help to build a better working world.

Confidence in your impact today | Freedom to build tomorrow

At EY, you make an impact from day one. In our Supply Chain & Operations practice, you will play an active role in building and scaling a logistics capability, working at the intersection of strategy, operations and technology. This is not a standard delivery role — this is an opportunity to take ownership, shape direction, and grow with a practice in build mode.

Your new job | About your role

You will lead and grow logistics transformation engagements, with a focus on operational performance, operating models, and execution capability rather than purely system implementation.

• Lead workstreams and take ownership in delivering logistics transformation engagements, often in environments where structure still needs to be defined and built. You are expected to bring direction, create clarity, and drive progress in situations where not everything is fully outlined

• Translate complex logistics challenges into practical, actionable solutions to improve end‑to‑end logistics operations and performance

• Take ownership of delivery, ensuring quality, structure and clear outcomes for clients

• Work closely with senior stakeholders, guiding discussions and supporting decision-making

• Support the development of repeatable solutions and propositions within the logistics domain

• Contribute to commercial activities, helping shape opportunities and grow client relationships

• Coach and guide team members, while actively helping to build a high-performing and scalable team

Your new team | About your colleagues

The Supply Chain & Operations (SC&O) team (~50 professionals) focuses on transforming end-to-end supply chains and operations. Within SC&O, the Logistics Transformation team is a growing capability, focused on:

• logistics cost and performance improvement

• operating model design

• execution and control

• digital and data-driven logistics

You will join a team that is actively building its position in the market, offering significant room for personal impact and growth.

Your office

Our Amsterdam office is located at the Zuidas: a bustling area full of companies. In our Cross Towers, we welcome up to 1,500 people every day. For a breathtaking view of the city, head to the 22nd floor. Collaboration takes on a new meaning in our Wavespace, a high-tech environment that connects clients and colleagues virtually across the globe.

Your skills and strengths | About your unique contribution

We are looking for someone who combines content strength with ownership and a build mindset:

• MSc degree (WO) in Logistics Management, Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, or related field

• 6–8 years of experience in logistics, supply chain or operations, with a strong focus on logistics, gained in consulting or in-house transformation / change environments (e.g. internal consulting, program roles, transformation teams)

• Experience in logistics transformation, operating model design, or performance improvement

• Ability to take ownership and drive progress in ambiguous environments, with a strong bias toward action and delivering tangible results

• Hands‑on mindset, combining thinking with doing and translating plans into execution

• Strong structuring and problem‑solving skills, translating complexity into clear actions

• Experience leading workstreams and engagement teams

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage both operational and senior stakeholders

• Commercial mindset, with the ability to spot and support opportunities

• Experience or strong affinity with digital logistics (e.g. TMS/WMS, visibility, data), with the ability to connect operational challenges to system and data solutions

• Fluent in Dutch and English (both required), with the ability to operate effectively in Dutch‑speaking client environments

What makes this role different

• You will not only deliver projects, but actively build and shape a growing logistics transformation capability within EY

• You will work in a high‑ownership environment with significant room to grow

• You will be part of building a focused logistics practice within EY

Your benefits | About your perks and work enjoyment

• A competitive salary that reflects your role and responsibilities, depending on experience and qualifications. Plus, a solid pension plan for the future. In addition to your salary, you’ll receive holiday allowance and an annual bonus (based on performance and development).

• You’ll receive a 32-40 hours contract.

• A laptop and phone for both work and personal use, and a monthly internet allowance.

• 34 vacation days to recharge and unwind, plus the option to buy extra days.

• With the mobility budget, you decide how you travel. Choose a lease car, a discounted public transport subscription, or arrange transport easily via our app.

• At EY, we care about a healthy work‑life balance. Hybrid working makes this easier. Whether you're working from the office, at a client, or from home, we’ll make sure you have a well‑equipped home office.

• The opportunity to work up to 20 days per year from abroad.

• The option to swap 3 national holidays for non‑national ones.

• You’ll have the space to grow both personally and professionally. Whether you want to deepen your expertise, develop your personality, or improve your leadership style, we offer a broad range of trainings and courses.

• Your well‑being is our priority. We believe that when you feel good, you perform better. That’s why you’ll have access to the OpenUp wellbeing platform (including for your family). You can easily connect with psychologists and lifestyle experts within 36 hours and take part in wellbeing sessions.

• A strong focus on teaming and various internal networks where you can join all kinds of social activities. A positive work atmosphere and good collaboration with colleagues contribute to your overall happiness at work.

All this within an environment where our core values of integrity, inclusiveness, and respect are central. We think it’s important that you can be yourself and fully develop into the best version of yourself. Curious about all our benefits?
