Teamleader Operations (Warehouse)

Join an international company with a big impact that still maintains a local community-like atmosphere: short lines of communication, a friendly work environment, and a culture where everyone supports each other. Continuous improvement, coaching, and leading a team will be your key responsibilities. You’ll have the freedom to explore what works and what doesn’t. In this role, both your personal and professional development, as well as the improvement of processes, will be central. Don’t wait—give yourself the opportunity to grow and apply now!

Thanks to your leadership, everything within the VAL department will run smoothly. Your team will handle and process specific customer orders. You’ll directly manage 35 operators, alongside another team leader. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to improving processes, making them more efficient and cost-effective. You'll regularly tackle questions like: "How can we save costs, and what benefits will that bring to the company?"

You will be operationally responsible for the well-being and performance of your team. Teams perform best when all business aspects are well organized. This means you’ll focus on daily coaching of employees, work planning, absenteeism management, budgets, facility issues, safety, and other operational tasks.

At Bausch + Lomb, you’ll be supported in every way, but it’s up to you to proactively get things moving, initiate processes, and ensure proper execution. The best part? You’ll work with many different aspects of the company and make a direct impact through the products you deliver.

• 
  
• Daily management of 35 operators, motivating, coaching, and training them.

As one of the most renowned and respected eye care brands in the world, we offer the broadest and best range of eye health products, including contact lenses, lens care products, pharmaceuticals, intraocular lenses, and other eye surgery products. You’ll be working at a location where our eye care solutions are stored and prepared for transport.

You will be part of the Operations team. Hierarchically, you will report directly to the supervisor of your unit. You will lead a team of 35 enthusiastic and driven colleagues. A joke here and there, enjoying your work, and looking out for each other are central values in our team. It's an international company, which is reflected in the diverse nationalities within your team, where respect for one another is key.

You are someone who works meticulously and is always one step ahead due to your proactive approach. With your problem-solving skills, you simplify and make processes more efficient. Additionally, you are a natural leader who people listen to, and you navigate well in a multicultural environment.
