Program Manager Supply Chain Expansion

Full-time – 38 hours

Location: Zwaagdijk HQ
Ready to shape the future of one of Europe’s most dynamic retail supply chains?
As our Program Manager Supply Chain Expansion, you’ll be the driving force behind the launch of new distribution centers across Europe. From first blueprint to grand opening, you’ll manage complex, high-impact projects that fuel Action’s rapid growth. A high-visibility role where strategy meets execution—at scale.
 

Your daily actions

Lead complex projects, end to end
Take charge of multi-million euro DC projects from site selection to go-live. You’ll develop project plans, steer execution, and make sure everything runs on time and within budget.

Orchestrate cross-functional teams
Unite internal departments, contractors, suppliers, and consultants around one shared goal. You’re the central point of contact and the glue holding it all together.

Engage senior stakeholders
Work closely with executives and decision-makers across countries. Your clear communication and sharp insights help steer strategy in real time.

Spot risks before they become issues
You think two steps ahead. Anticipate roadblocks, challenge the status quo, and act fast to keep timelines intact.

Oversee construction & compliance
Collaborate with developers and partners to ensure projects meet design, safety, and legal standards. You don’t just deliver buildings—you deliver future-ready hubs.

Ensure a seamless handover
Coordinate the operational go-live with IT and logistics teams. Your job doesn’t end when the building is done—it ends when it’s running smoothly.

Keep everyone in the loop
Provide structured updates to senior leadership, backed by clear documentation, risk logs, and post-project reviews.

Build for the future
With every project, you refine the playbook. You capture lessons learned and scale best practices to accelerate our growth.
