Position Overview
The Team Lead Logistics & Warehouse is responsible for developing and carrying out an efficient logistics strategy. You lead and further develop warehousing, transport, and dispatching, and you make sure the logistics organisation runs smoothly, cost-effectively, and on time. You look at processes across the whole value chain, from goods receipt to shipping, and you bring in and extend modern logistics and automation solutions. You manage external logistics partners and build long-term, high-performing relationships with service providers. You also work closely with purchasing, production, and sales so everyone has maximum transparency and efficiency. Beyond the operational work, the role is explicitly about being a driver of cultural change, with a focus on performance, digitalisation, and continuous improvement. It is aimed at someone with leadership energy who likes to make things happen.
Why This Role Matters: A company that makes glass jars for homes and for industrial filling depends on getting products out reliably and at sensible cost. If warehouse, transport, and dispatching are not coordinated, delivery dates slip and costs rise. This role connects those pieces and also joins them to purchasing, production, and sales so decisions are made with the same information. Because the company says it is changing its culture, the team lead is also expected to help people work in new ways: more digital, more performance-focused, and always looking for the next improvement. In a business with a long history and new investor backing, that mix of practical logistics and change leadership is exactly what makes the job interesting.
