  • Project management skills.
  • Excellent analytical and quantitative capabilities.
  • Highly collaborative mindset and strong team-player attitude.
  • Cross-cultural awareness and ability to work effectively in a global environment.

How Would You Stand Out?

  • Six Sigma Certification.
  • APICS Certification.

Why Choose Us?


  • Opportunity to contribute to a strategic 2-year project that will have a lasting impact on our OTC operations and customer experience.
  • 8% holiday allowance and a competitive annual bonus scheme (AIP) and Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for eligible roles.
  • Individual Choice Budget (IKB), which can be used flexibly (for example, additional vacation days or monthly payout).
  • 25 vacation days plus additional ADV days.
  • Commuting allowance (€0.23/km, up to 72 km one way) or full reimbursement of public transport (2nd class), or a lease car (role dependent).
  • Competitive pension scheme, company-paid disability insurance, and enhanced parental leave.
