You will help various business units with efficiency, find opportunities for improvement, increase cost effectiveness and be the point of contact for questions regarding daily logistical challenges and potential risks.

Cebon is looking for someone with the ability and drive to solve operational challenges hands-on as well as having the business skills to make strategic decisions and provide sound advice to colleagues working in the supply chain. Some projects will involve collaboration with multiple other departments, while others will require independent problem-solving. Given that this is a new position in a well-established company, there will be lots of room for personal growth and the possibility to shape the role over time. Your focus will be on improving the supply chain and ensuring sustainable competitiveness for the Cebon Group.

Identify areas for process improvement. Leverage technology with the help of IT for process automation and optimization.
Establish strong partnerships with suppliers and key customers to ensure a smooth and timely flow of goods. Negotiate favorable terms and conditions with transportation providers to achieve cost savings.

Educational background in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, or a related field. Alternatively, you have acquired equivalent knowledge through work experience.
Experience in logistics
Negotiation and communication skills. Able to convey purpose and reasons for doing things.
Familiarity with logistics software and systems.
Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Flexible in taking on hands-on tasks and solving emergency issues.


We are seeking someone with a can-do attitude who sees solutions rather than problems. You enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and able to work with multiple stakeholders simultaneously. To thrive at the company, you should relish working in the operational field, where you will encounter urgent issues that require immediate action, while also being able to take on a strategic mindset and make decisions that will benefit various business areas long-term. The person we are looking for should expect to work with various types of logistics matters and be capable of doing so with short notice.
