Beveren, Flanders, Belgique Major Manufacturing Temps plein

Don't let the title fool you. This is a broad logistics and supply chain operations role – with a customer service team attached – at the Belgian production site of an established international manufacturing group whose products are distributed worldwide.

You will sit at the operational heart of a compact, close-knit site, owning the full order-to-delivery chain across EMEA. One day you are optimising freight routes and negotiating with carriers; the next you are steering excise compliance through an audit or resolving a cross-border shipping issue before it reaches a customer. You will lead a small customer service team and work daily with production planning, sales and finance. No layers, no bureaucracy, full visibility.

Customer Service Leadership:
Supervise and develop a small team of Customer Service Representatives
Ensure customer inquiries and orders are handled efficiently, from first contact to invoicing
Coordinate with internal departments to deliver an outstanding customer experience

Continuous Improvement:
Apply data-driven thinking to freight spend, service levels and processes
Work in a culture that values prioritisation, clear communication and delivering quality without wasted effort

Your Profile
Bachelor's degree in a commercial or logistics field
3–5+ years of experience in logistics, transportation, customs or supply chain operations
Experience with excise duty management and EU customs regulations is a strong advantage

Genuinely specialist excise and cross-border experience – a real career asset
The stability of a large international group with the autonomy and visibility of a smaller site
