Position Overview
The Logistics Expert at ROSSMANN Logistik in Landsberg joins directly within the Operations Management team — learning and contributing to both the operational and strategic dimensions of ROSSMANN’s central warehouse.

This is a role where analytical intelligence and human leadership skills are equally valued — and where both are given room to develop and genuinely matter.

- Support managers and team leaders in the sustainable embedding of new working methods, processes, and organisational approaches
- Challenge existing procedures with a constructive, analytical mindset — developing practical, ground-level improvements with measurable impact

- Bring together different interests and perspectives across departments — facilitating alignment and enabling effective cross-functional collaboration

Structure Development & Leadership Tool Advancement
- Support the further development of structures, processes, and leadership tools within ROSSMANN Logistik’s Betriebsleitung from day one
- Identify gaps in current management instruments and contribute practically to developing improved tools, templates, and reporting frameworks
