Organisation

Some roles improve a process. This role shapes how logistics performance is led across an entire region. As Process Excellence Manager EMEA Logistics, you will step into a high-impact EMEA leadership position with the freedom to build standards, influence decision-making and deliver measurable business impact across multiple countries, distribution centers and 3PL partners.

You will not be optimizing at the edges. You will lead end-to-end logistics performance improvement, act as the primary EMEA interface to Global Enterprise Excellence, and work closely with Commercial and Finance on cost, margin and operational trade-offs. This is a role for someone who wants to combine strategic scope, international exposure and the opportunity to make a lasting difference in a complex network.

You will join Bausch + Lomb, a global leader in eye health and pharmaceuticals. For more than 165 years, the company has been improving vision and quality of life around the world. In the Netherlands, you will work within a small, committed team where openness, collaboration and a positive working atmosphere come naturally. 
 
You will be part of the EMEA Logistics team and work closely with senior stakeholders across the region, including Logistics leadership, Commercial, Finance, site leaders, DCs, 3PL partners and Global Enterprise Excellence.
