How do you make our customers happy?
When our customers receive their package at the time we promised them, at the place they indicated and with the products they ordered, we did a good job. When our customers decide to return a package, we make their experience smooth, while retaining as much value as possible. And, with 13M customers who can choose from over 32M products sourced by 51K partners and delivered from multiple warehouses and via multiple carriers, that’s a tall order. Our goal is to optimally serve our customers in a cost-efficient way, through data-driven insights and intelligent steering of bol’s logistics network. It calls for leveraging advanced data science models and complex software applications. Moreover, we need to balance goals, from reducing costs to improving the customer experience and advancing our sustainability ambitions. Your role is to ensure our innovations work as advertised in our complex logistics network.
What do you do as a Logistics Process Engineer?
Together with your product team, you explore problems and identify opportunities. Some of which may seem obvious, others not so much. You help the team decide which topics to focus on and translate theoretical solutions into ‘workable’ products by using your data and analytical capabilities. You collaborate with experts, including developers who build the solution, and you drive the implementation. How can you best bring these projects across the finish line? And how can you maximize their value for bol, our customers, and partners?
This position challenges your analytical skills: crunch complex puzzles and connect the right people and ideas. Design reliable, scalable, and future-proof processes and IT solutions, and leverage your powers of persuasion and communication to identify relevant internal and external stakeholders, get them on board, and keep them engaged. And flex your project management skills by determining the right approach and managing progress in a complex environment.
