You will help warehouses around the world resolve both routine and complex issues while working closely with users, logistics specialists, software developers, and external partners.

Incident and Problem Management You will act as the second line point of contact for our warehouses and users worldwide. You will analyze incidents, user questions, and recurring issues within our logistics applications and work toward sustainable solutions. The first line of support is provided by the key users at our sites, with whom you will work closely to resolve disruptions quickly and effectively.

We provide a structured onboarding program that helps you become familiar with our applications, processes, and operations, enabling you to gradually grow into an independent contributor within the team. What sets our team apart from many traditional support organizations is that our colleagues not only have expertise in applications and systems but also have strong backgrounds in logistics and warehouse operations. As a result, we understand the daily challenges faced by our users, speak the same language as the operation, and look beyond purely technical solutions. We understand the impact disruptions can have on warehouse operations and act based on the needs of our users and the logistics processes we support. Because of this background, we place significant emphasis on supporting and developing new colleagues. You will be guided by experienced team members who actively share their knowledge of both our systems and logistics processes. This ensures a positive and structured onboarding experience where you have the opportunity to learn, ask questions, and grow confidently in your new role. Who are we looking for?

Do you enjoy analyzing and solving problems? If so, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you do not meet every requirement listed above. We believe that curiosity, analytical thinking, and an affinity for logistics processes are just as important as specific system knowledge. Supported by the experience within our team and our structured onboarding approach, you will have every opportunity to further develop yourself in this role. In addition, you recognize yourself in the following competencies: Problem Analysis You enjoy understanding how things work and do not give up easily when faced with a problem. You analyze issues thoroughly, ask the right questions, and can identify the root cause of a problem. Resilience You remain calm and structured when pressure increases. You demonstrate perseverance, can manage changing priorities, and adapt easily in a dynamic environment. Customer and User Focus You can put yourself in the user's position and understand the impact issues can have on daily operations. You listen actively, show understanding for the user's situation, and ask the right questions to arrive at an appropriate solution. Users and customers remain at the center of everything you do. Collaboration You enjoy working with colleagues, key users, software developers, and external parties. You share knowledge, ask for help when needed, and actively contribute to a positive team environment. Ready for the next step? Are you interested in this vacancy and would like to apply?
