YOUR ROLE
As a Workforce Planner, you make sure that the right number of temporary workers with the needed skills and qualifications are available on time to support our logistics operation. Together with your colleagues, you build the workforce planning puzzle. You work closely with the operational teams and our staffing partners to make this happen.

How do you make a planning like that? You and your team base the staffing plan on the client’s forecast. You translate this forecast into the number of temporary workers needed per period. To give you an idea: during peak times, our Bleiswijk site which supports Zalando as its only client can scale up significantly from its base of approximately 400 team members.

You inform and advise internal stakeholders, mostly via email and phone. That means you're strong in communication both verbal and written in English, and ideally Dutch as well. To support your advice and planning decisions, you use data and are comfortable working with Excel and various systems. You're detail-oriented and can prioritize well, ensuring that all stakeholders have the information they need.

• Create 4-8 week workforce plans in collaboration with operations
• Increase flexibility of the workforce pool by facilitating job rotation

WHAT DO WE OFFER YOU?
