• Continuous Improvement: Lead root-cause analyses for operational deviations and track quality KPIs to propose corrective measures.
• Strategic Partnership: Support the VP of CSC by translating onsite insights into actionable strategic decisions and process improvements.
• Stakeholder Management: Build strong daily relationships with 3PL leaders and collaborate cross-functionally with Grover’s Data, Product, and Repair teams.

🤝 What you bring:

• Operational Leadership: Proven experience in warehouse management, ideally within a circular economy or refurbished goods context.

• Analytical Mindset: You are data-driven and capable of translating complex operational findings into clear reports and strategies.
• Process Orientation: Strong knowledge of quality management, audit frameworks, and E2E supply chain workflows.
• Adaptability: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can pivot quickly to resolve operational risks.
• Stakeholder Management: Ability to build rapport with on-site 3PL staff while effectively communicating strategic needs to Grover leadership.
• Ability to Travel: You are ready to travel 50% of the time to our warehouses in Germany and the Netherlands. 
• Language Skills: C1+ English skills and +B2 German skills are must-haves for this position.
