Job description

Ready to Join the Backstage Crew?

At Bleckmann, we've been delivering on promises since 1862. As a market leader in supply chain management for fashion and lifestyle brands, we keep the show running behind the scenes - from moving boxes to moving data, from pack & ship to IT and HR.

But we’re not just logistics experts. We’re The Backstage Crew - a tight-knit team of 6,500+ people who make fashion and lifestyle brands shine by doing the work that matters most, out of the spotlight but never out of impact.

Whether you're on the warehouse floor or behind a screen, you'll find:

• Strong connections with colleagues who support and celebrate you.
• Fast growth in a company that’s expanding across Europe, the US, and Asia.
• High energy in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same.
• Guided freedom to take initiative, solve problems your way, and grow your career.

We believe in entrepreneurship, expertise, excellence, and engagement - and we live these values every day. From repairing returned goods to reducing waste, we help brands extend product lifecycles with sustainability in mind.

So if you're ready to roll out the red carpet for our clients - and for each other - we've got a spot for you.

Behind the scenes is where the real excitement begins. Ready to join us?

As Site Manager, you are ultimately responsible for all activities within the site. Given the current growth of the location, you will support the current Site Manager in leading the operations. Together, you will manage the site leadership team and ensure that all disciplines (including warehouse operations, contract management, budgeting, automation, customs, and HR) collaborate as efficiently as possible to achieve the best results.

In this shared role, both of you will report to the Cluster Director and work closely together to further drive the growth and optimization of the site.

Your Responsibilities

• Ensure effective and efficient business operations across the entire physical operation, within the site's budgeted guidelines.
• Manage all operational processes in accordance with SLA agreements and contractual commitments.
• Drive operational performance based on productivity targets and KPI objectives.
• Monitor cost-versus-revenue flows and adjust where necessary.
• Ensure effective operational communication with customers through OBRs, MBRs, and QBRs.
• Take overall responsibility for the site's budget and performance, including the preparation and reporting of monthly financial results.
• Hold ultimate responsibility for QEHS, facilities, and site security.
• Coach and inspire teams to achieve their full potential on a daily basis.
• Provide strong account management and continuously strengthen customer relationships.
• Proactively drive continuous improvement of processes, methodologies, and operational approaches within the site.

Profile

• Bachelor's degree level (or equivalent) with a proven track record in a similar role within a logistics environment; experience in fashion and/or outdoor logistics is a strong advantage.
• Excellent command of both Dutch and English.
• Strong understanding of customers and markets, with a solid sense of business ethics.
• Pragmatic and hands-on mindset, combined with the ability to develop creative, integrated logistics solutions.
• Passionate about team development and focused on achieving results in both team and personal growth.
• An enthusiastic and inspiring leader with a healthy winning mentality.

What We Offer

• A versatile and challenging role with significant responsibility at the heart of our operations.
• A pleasant working environment where we passionately serve our customers every day and where entrepreneurship is at the core of everything we do.
• The opportunity to be part of a passionate leadership team that has a direct impact on business performance, employee wellbeing, and customer success.
• Plenty of room for initiative and new ideas, allowing you to apply your entrepreneurial mindset in coordinating daily operations, developing teams, and continuously improving performance and results.
• Diverse growth and development opportunities within a large, rapidly growing international organization.
• An attractive compensation package aligned with your experience and expertise.

At Bleckmann, we are guided by our values: We take a parachute and jump (Entrepreneurship), we unpack our knowledge (Expertise), we raise the bar with every box (Excellence), and we spark energy that connects (Engagement).
