Deputy Site Manager
Want to help build the future of last-mile e-commerce logistics across Europe? At Instabee (Budbee), we deliver millions of parcels every month for leading merchants like bol, H&M, and Vinted. For our hub in Vianen, we are looking for a hands-on Deputy Site Manager. In this role, you drive daily operations, coach the team, and step in as the direct stand-in for the Site Manager.
What You'll Do
Lead & empower: Act as a visible leader on the floor—coaching team members, building morale, and ensuring a safe, positive work environment.
Deputy responsibility: Act as the Site Manager's right hand and take full operational ownership of the site whenever needed.
Drive KPIs & performance: Monitor daily throughput, cost efficiency, and service levels, proactively resolving deviations in operational processes.
Continuous improvement: Lead operational changes, optimize workflows, and coordinate with third-party staffing agencies on workforce planning.
People management: Conduct interviews, drive onboarding, resolve personnel matters, and develop talent across shifts.
General Management Responsibilities
Uphold Instabee’s policies, safety standards, and labor compliance across the site.
Foster a culture of continuous improvement by actively implementing ideas from the floor.
Maintain positive collaboration with local workforce representatives and trade unions (where applicable).
What We Are Looking For
Proven leadership experience in logistics, warehousing, or fast-paced last-mile operations.
Availability and flexibility to work evening and night shifts (essential to our parcel sorting and dispatch cycles).
A decisive, present leader who thrives on the warehouse floor rather than behind a desk.
Strong problem-solving skills with a solid grip on operational KPIs.
Fluent communication skills in English (conversational proficiency in Dutch is a strong advantage on the floor).
Based within commuting distance of Vianen.
What We Offer
🎂 26 vacation days per year + your birthday off (based on full-time)
🏦 8% employer-paid pension (no personal contribution needed)
🚆 Travel reimbursement if you live >10 KM from our hub in Vianen.
🧘 Well-being allowance (€25 per month)
💻📱 High-end equipment provided
Sound like a match?
Most of the job is learned on site, so don't hold back if you're missing a point or two. If you know how to lead a team and keep an operation moving, we want to hear from you. Send us your CV and tell us why you want to join.
