YOUR ROLE
As an Inventory Specialist, your goal is to keep the customer’s inventory well organized. LEAN is our philosophy, and you'll analyse how inventory management processes can be further improved. You act as an advisor and initiator to your manager and the operational supervisors when it comes to how we store our inventory.

Your role bridges the gap between the data in the Warehouse Management System and actual operations. You will strategically assess opportunities and identify bottlenecks within inventory management. This assessment forms the basis for improvement projects, which you will carry out together with the operation and a colleague in the same role.

The shared goal? To make operations more efficient and in that, you play a key role in signalling opportunities and initiating improvements!

You will work closely with the warehouse operation and supervision, which means you will also put on your work shoes and be present in the warehouse. It's a dynamic environment where you serve as a point of contact for both colleagues and the customer. Your working hours can be flexibly scheduled within office hours (between 08:00 AM - 06:00 PM). However, the operation itself is open from 06:00 AM to 00:00 AM.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
You will be part of the Operations Support team for a fashion client at our warehouse location in Roosendaal. Your manager will be the Operations Support Manager, and you’ll work closely with various internal departments and colleagues – such as Warehouse Supervisors, the Operations Manager, and of course, your fellow team members in Inventory Control.

This close collaboration allows you to turn daily challenges into long-term, structural solutions. Your analyses will be based on historical data, predictive data provided by the customer, and hands-on, pragmatic observations on the work floor.

As an Inventory Specialist, you will work on:

• Monitoring and analyzing order flows using, for example, the ABC analysis. If there are any anomalies or deviations, you will inform the customer and/or colleagues so that appropriate actions can be taken;
• Identifying and contributing to the structural resolution of issues within the warehouse to drive productivities and efficient storage of products;
• Preparing the long-term (6-12 months) (re)organization of goods in the warehouse.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
You enjoy optimizing processes in a large-scale logistics environment. You have a strong ability to accurately process, analyze, and monitor data, and you know how to translate that data into pragmatic and realistic improvement proposals.

In addition, you communicate easily with both colleagues and external stakeholders. You are stress-resistant and have a mindset focused on continuous improvement.

Specifically, you bring the following knowledge and experience:

• Proficient in English, as many systems and communication with colleagues and the customer are in English;
• Strong proficiency in numerical databases (Excel and WMS system) as you will perform many analyses based on data;
• Familiarity with the ABC analysis;
• At least a Bachelor's (HBO) degree level of education;
• Work experience is less relevant, as starters are very welcome!

WHAT DO WE OFFER YOU?
At CEVA Logistics, there are ample opportunities to bring out the best in yourself and your career. Besides a dynamic environment where we achieve our goals together rapidly and result-oriented, we offer a position that allows room for enjoyment and connection. This role can be the first step towards a broad career path within our organization. The possibilities to chart your own course are endless!

Additionally, we offer:

• A salary between € 2.593,66 and € 3.547,49 (depending on your work experience and education level), with the opportunity for growth within the pay scale;
• A one-year contract with the prospect of a permanent position;
• Employment conditions in accordance with our own CEVA collective labor agreement (Dutch: cao), including 25 vacation days, 5 ADV days, and an annual salary increase;
• A laptop and phone;
• Profit sharing of up to 3% with positive business results;
• Good pension scheme, travel allowance and 8% holiday pay;
• Many opportunities to develop yourself through training and internal growth.
