Logistics Support Specialist

About Hoogwegt

We are Hoogwegt. We’re the world’s largest privately owned dairy ingredient provider. Founded in the Netherlands in 1965, Hoogwegt has grown to become the world’s largest independent supplier of dairy products and ingredients, active in over 130 countries. Thanks to our global network, 60+ years of experience, and a team of commercial, technical, and logistics experts, we add vision and value to our business. In this role, you will be part of our dynamic Logistics and Operations community located at our modern, collaborative office in Arnhem, working within an international supply chain network that spans across multiple continents.

About the Role

We are looking for a proactive Logistics Support Specialist to join our operational community. This function sits right in the middle of our international logistical flows, serving as a critical data and administrative link.

In this role, your primary responsibility will be navigating, verifying, and processing crucial commercial and transport data to ensure our global supply chain runs seamlessly. Because our products operate within fast-moving supply chains, information must move efficiently and accurately within tight timeframes.

This dynamic position balances meticulous administrative data management with active, collaborative communication. You will step up to monitor transport metrics, proactively clear operational roadblocks, and handle fast-moving situations where logistics data points diverge.

What you will do:

• Manage the administrative processing, data entry, and operational handling of back-office logistics documentation.
• Gather, review, and verify key volume, delivery, and quality data from international shipping and transport flows.
• Communicate directly with customers, suppliers, and external partners to resolve discrepancies swiftly.
• Actively troubleshoot operational variations and handle unexpected situations where logistics metrics or prices differ.
• Ensure a seamless flow of accurate data to our internal invoicing, administration, and commercial trading departments.

Who you are:

• You have a background in commercial administration, sales support, B2B customer service, or a logistics support role where managing administrative data and customer contact went hand-in-hand.
• You are comfortable picking up the phone, speaking up, and driving data accuracy forward to meet tight deadlines.
• You have excellent professional fluency in English and minimal conversational Dutch.
• You have strong administrative skills, feel comfortable managing operational variables under pressure, and enjoy working closely with assertive internal and external stakeholders.
• This position requires a minimum availability of 4 days per week.

What We Offer

At Hoogwegt, we believe your career should be as dynamic as the market you work in. That's why we offer:

• An informal and open culture where you can be yourself
• The freedom to shape your work in your own way
• Plenty of room for personal growth and development, with training tailored to your role
• A warm welcome from experienced and enthusiastic colleagues who will help you find your feet
• Strong employment conditions, including attractive variable pay, a solid pension plan, generous leave, and collective insurance
• A sports programme with bootcamp, running, or yoga under professional guidance
• A modern office directly opposite Arnhem Central Station, easy to reach by public transport
