About the job
Are you energized by leading a young team in our new distribution center?
Your Role
From our warehouse, we supply a variety of orders to over 70 Van der Valk hotels. Ranging from tea to ice cream, and from candy to soup, our product assortment is constantly expanding! Every day, we ensure that all logistical processes run seamlessly, allowing our hotels to receive their orders on time. This includes handling incoming and outgoing goods, order picking, shipping, warehouse layout, and returns sorting. As a Logistics Team Leader, you will share responsibility for these processes. You enjoy contributing ideas, are proactive, and can independently manage a significant workload to elevate our warehouse operations. Additionally, you will ensure a safe and clean work environment while accurately and timely recording goods flows in our warehouse management system (WMS).

Do you want to manage the order fulfillment for our hotels alongside your team?
As a Logistics Team Leader, you will oversee a team of 15 employees. You will direct their tasks, ensuring productivity and quality standards are met. Furthermore, you will foster the continuous development of your team members by regularly engaging in discussions to identify their needs for support. Naturally, you will be present on the floor and assist colleagues during peak times. You will also serve as the point of contact during escalations; should you encounter an issue that requires resolution, you will collaborate with the logistics supervisor to address it.
Your Team
The distribution team currently comprises 30 colleagues who collectively manage the complete logistics process for our hotels. We achieve this through close collaboration and mutual support. An open culture prevails, encouraging sharing and humor.
The Organization
Working with Van der Valk means being part of the most hospitable hotels in the Netherlands. We strive to put a radiant smile on the faces of our guests! You will be part of the distribution center within the Purchasing department, which strategically manages procurement for over 70 Van der Valk hotels both domestically and internationally. We previously outsourced storage and distribution but decided to bring this in-house in 2022, resulting in the construction of a new and modern distribution center near Eindhoven.
