Job Description

Ready for something different? Good, so are we. This won’t be your typical logistics job, and we’re not your typical forwarder. At MPL, we think beyond the container and always go one step further in everything we do. How? By living the mission, not just executing the job. With a unique mix of logistics services, real and personal advice, we make things happen. Now, we’re looking for our next hero to level up our Food team. You in?

As Team Leader Food, you guide your team of forwarders through daily operations. You’re part of your team: solving challenges, dividing tasks, and stepping in where needed. You’re a hands-on people manager: clear on expectations and big on support. You’re your team's biggest fan, always pushing for growth and keeping them sharp. Strong client relationships? Non-negotiable. You always go beyond expectations. And you do it all in close collaboration with the Business Unit Manager (BUM).

Requirements

At MPL, we turn knowledge into action. Who are we looking for?

• You have a bachelor’s degree or the kind of experience to match it.
• You have solid experience in forwarding (both import & export).
• Experience as a team lead in the maritime sector (food business)? That’s a big plus!
• You know how to build and motivate a team to work together toward a common goal.
• You live by the motto: nothing was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
• Communication is key. You’re fluent in both Dutch and English. Knowledge of any other languages is a plus.
• Problem solving is in your DNA.
• You’re all about integrity, positivity, and keeping it real. Just like us.
• You think outside of the container and you’re not afraid to speak up.
• You're the digital forwarder of the future, working with new technology gives you a boost.

Benefits

At MPL, we pride ourselves on being different. We don’t settle for status quo, we push the boundaries and challenge one another to become the best versions of ourselves. We always work as a team, valuing every one of our team members.

• Vibrant international working environment;
• Fun team activities that keep us connected;
• Competitive salary package, plus additional benefits.
