Employment: Full-time (40 hours – 32/36 hours negotiable)

Salary: Up to €5,000 gross per month (excluding 8% holiday allowance)

Are you a Logistics Data Analyst with a passion for improving processes and optimizing logistics operations? Do you enjoy working with SQL, Business Intelligence, and WMS systems in an international e-fulfilment environment? Do you also have experience with Lean Six Sigma?

At Active Ants, you will have the opportunity to make a real impact as a specialist on our logistics processes and the performance of our international warehouses. As a Logistics Data Analyst (within our Operational Excellence team), you contribute to optimizing processes across our warehouses. Your data analysis skills help identify opportunities for improvement. You also use them to establish KPIs and investigate operational issues. Guided by the principle "measuring is knowing," you support not only operational departments but also commercial teams.

In addition to being an analyst, you act as the expert of our in-house developed WMS, where you identify bottlenecks and lead improvement projects. SQL holds no secrets for you, enabling you to combine all relevant information from underlying databases into meaningful analyses and dashboards. You will work with our locations across Europe: from the Netherlands and Belgium to Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. An international challenge!

• Data & Business Intelligence: You independently access and analyze data sources using SQL, identify the "question behind the question," and use data analysis to highlight bottlenecks and improvement opportunities.
• Continuous Improvement: You lead Lean Six Sigma Green Belt projects aimed at optimizing processes and increasing efficiency across the organization.
• Operational Support: You manage the operational mailbox and act as the primary point of contact for data analysis requests and process improvement initiatives.
• WMS Specialist (Maya): You provide expert support for our WMS, resolve system-related issues, support the testing of IT adjustments, and guide implementation on the work floor with clear process documentation.
