Your challenges
We are looking for a new colleague who would thrive on working with optimisation of processes in our distribution centres and in the last part of the value chain towards the end users. You will be part of our international team responsible for the outbound logistics and transportation within all of the VELUX Groups’ markets.
With special focus on developing long-term relations with international logistics service providers you will play a very important role. In addition, you will analyse, define process improvements in the whole value chain and secure effective operationalisation of the changes.
Furthermore, you will manage the different logistics processes at our external distribution centers and distribution section. That includes close collaboration with international logistics service providers, sales, procurement and other local internal stakeholders.
Your primary tasks will be to:
- Continuously identify problems and root causes in the logistics set-up

Besides, your experience also include working with process improvements, designing international logistics set-up, relationship development and stakeholder management.
You have some knowledge of the European logistics market with focus on groupage, parcel distribution and warehousing and could have experience from establishing partnerships with logistics service providers.
You dare challenge status quo always with a focus on how to create value for the business. You see the big picture and you know what it takes to make business processes work in a matrix organisation.
On a personal level, you are inquisitive by nature with a “can do” attitude. You see yourself as an independent person with a strong drive getting your energy from achieving goals. As a team player, you are open and forthcoming and you truly enjoy building strong and positive relations with others.
