SCM Logistics Operation South is facing a significant change. We want to make our organization future-proof by strengthening leadership at all levels and further improving the work atmosphere, conduct, and safety.

To accelerate this change, we are looking for an Interim Manager People & Organization who will play a key role as a member of the Management Team in realizing sustainable, people-oriented organizational development.

This is explicitly not a classic interim management role. We are looking for an experienced professional who realizes change through existing middle management, not by taking over responsibilities. You do this by demonstrating decisive role-modeling behavior, by guiding colleagues, but also by letting them go at the right time towards independence. The success of the assignment will be determined by the extent to which managers and teams become stronger independently.

Objective of the function

The Interim Manager People & Organization is responsible for strengthening the social safety, leadership quality, organizational structure, and change capacity of SCM Logistics Operation South. The manager supports and develops middle management in such a way that managers become owners of the change themselves. The speed of change is combined with stability for employees and continuity of operations. After the initial period of stabilization and support, the manager will provide integrated advice for the future-proof organization.

Result areas

Responsible for social safety within the organization.

Develops an open, professional culture of accountability.

Identifies and addresses risks in the areas of culture, collaboration, and employee well-being.

Supports managers with complex personnel and organizational issues.

Coaches managers in their role as leaders.

Increases ownership, decisiveness, and leadership impact.

Ensures that change is realized through the line.

Strengthens the execution power of the Operation South Management Team.

Analyzes the current organizational structure.

Assesses the alignment between teams, work packages, and organizational structure.

Maps out necessary competencies, roles, and leadership profiles.

Develops a concrete future-oriented organizational proposal.

Strengthens readiness for change within the organization.

Connects strategy, leadership, and daily behavior.

Ensures that employees experience direction, clarity, and trust during the transition.

Within the first 100 days:

Alignment with operations at all levels has been achieved.

A complete analysis of the current organization has been performed.

Natural authority at director, management, and operational levels.

Assignment

Responsible for:
