The role offers long-term ownership of scalable controlling structures and performance management within a complex logistics environment.

Core Function: Financial and operational performance transparency across the end-to-end logistics network
Key Disciplines: Controlling, logistics performance management, and Business Intelligence
Reporting Tools: Scalable BI-based reporting solutions, ideally using Microsoft Power BI
Ownership Scope: Long-term ownership of scalable controlling structures across logistics locations

Position Overview
This Senior Logistics Controller role in Münster involves improving performance and value drivers across the end-to-end logistics process, from goods receipt through to transportation.
