LOGISTICS ENGINEER - FREIGHT ANALYTICS & OPTIMIZATION
___________________________________________________________
Place: Venlo, the Netherlands
Type: Full-time, hybrid
Level: Medior
You will make a difference in the following ways
You'll be part of Belden's Global Freight & Logistics team, reporting directly to the Director of Global Freight & Logistics. It's a small, focused team with a clear mandate: make our freight smarter, cheaper, and more transparent, across APAC and EMEA.
Concretely, this means
Building and maintaining freight dashboards and spend analytics (ocean, air, road, parcel) across both regions
Translating data into savings: lane consolidation, mode shifts, load factor improvements, accessorial reduction
Show the full description
Tracking carrier and forwarder performance through KPIs, scorecards, and quarterly reviews
Supporting freight sourcing events (RFQ/RFP) with solid analytical groundwork
Keeping our data clean and consistent across TMS, ERP (SAP), and BI tools
This is primarily an analytical and execution role. You'll be the person who spots the inefficiency in the data and drives it to resolution, not setting freight strategy, but owning the numbers that inform it.
What your bring
3–5 years of experience in freight, logistics, or supply chain analytics
Comfortable with Excel, BI tools, and freight data across international modes
You know your way around ocean surcharges, Incoterms, and cross-border freight basics
Fluent English; Dutch or another language is a plus
Experience with SAP S/4HANA or a TMS? Great, not a must-have
We're not looking for someone who ticks every box above. If freight analytics and optimization is your thing, we'd like to talk.
What Belden offers
Competitive salary + annual bonus
Hybrid working
27 vacation days
Good pension with employer addition of 20,5%
Flexible working time
A real scope: two regions, all modes, direct impact on freight cost
Let’s Create Possibilities Together.
Join a global community shaping the future of intelligent connectivity. At Belden, you’ll help push the boundaries of technology and write the next chapter of innovation, creating possibilities for your career, your future, and the world around you.
