Job description

How do you make our customers happy?

Bol operates a vast logistics network with dedicated warehouses and logistics partners to meet customer expectations. In this role, you coordinate the project to open and run our new warehouse, ensuring it meets high standards of safety, quality, and efficiency. You help resolve operational challenges during the launch and daily operations that directly impact the experience of millions of bol customers. By collaborating with logistics partners and internal teams, you ensure reliable delivery from this new location.

The biggest challenge

Opening and running a new warehouse requires balancing tight timelines, diverse stakeholders, and operational goals. You guide the transition from the initial launch phase to stable daily operations by keeping all project milestones on track. This role does not involve direct people management, meaning you deliver results through structured coordination and collaboration. You align logistics partners and internal specialist teams around operational readiness and performance targets. The challenge lies in keeping the launch moving forward and managing expectations without hierarchical authority.

What You Will Do As Project Manager Logistics

You coordinate and support the project to open and run our new warehouse. As a project manager, you ensure the structured implementation of operational processes and keep track of launch deliverables. You translate project plans into clear actions and collaborate with logistics service providers on daily operations. By working closely with various specialist teams, you help build a stable and future-proof warehouse operation.

• Coordinate the launch and operational setup of the new warehouse to realise agreed project milestones.
• Support the resolution of operational challenges regarding capacity, quality, safety, and service in the new facility.
• Play an active role in planning, setting up, and stabilising daily operations at the new site.
• Collaborate closely with stakeholders from operations, engineering, finance, and product teams.
• Track project progress, manage timelines, and report on key deliverables for the new warehouse.
• Combine data, analyses, and project insights to deliver sustainable operational improvements.

Why you can make a difference

In this role, you combine structured project management skills with a drive to launch and run a new warehouse facility. You get the space and guidance to bring stakeholders together and ensure that operational goals are actually realised. You take the initiative to keep launch tasks on track and proactively address operational risks with partners. You analyse data to monitor warehouse performance and translate insights into clear action points. Bol offers you the support to manage this key launch and develop your project management expertise within a large-scale environment.

Where you'll be working

You join the logistics chain of bol, which is responsible for managing, innovating, and running our logistics network. Within this environment, you work closely with external logistics service providers, project teams, and specialists from various disciplines to launch this new site. These disciplines include operations, engineering, capacity management, safety, and product and tech. You operate in a dynamic environment where you receive the guidance to grow your skills. Your project management support helps make a tangible impact on the success of our newest warehouse.

Something for you?

• Launch coordination: You enjoy organising project phases, tracking timelines, and bringing the right parties together to open a new facility.
• Eagerness to learn: You want to develop your knowledge of warehouse operations, logistics processes, and project management methodologies.
• Collaborative driver: You get energy from realising operational milestones through structured communication and collaboration instead of hierarchical authority.

Nothing for you?

• Seeking people management: You prefer a role focused on managing team members and conducting HR conversations over project coordination.
• Routine preference: You prefer highly predictable daily routines over managing the shifting timelines of a new warehouse launch.
• Ad-hoc working: You prefer working without structured project plans, templates, or clear milestones.
