Full job description




We are seeking a

Solutions Design Analyst

to support the strategic

development, expansion, and new-build projects

across our business. This role plays a key part in shaping investment decisions by designing, modelling, and validating solutions that

support business growth and operational efficiency

.


Unlike a traditional CI (Continuous Improvement) role that focuses on refining existing processes, this role requires a forward-thinking,

strategic mindset

--one that can work with

limited or incomplete data

and apply

logical assumptions

to develop

robust business cases

.


You will be responsible for

supporting the development of new opportunities

, conducting feasibility studies, and modelling different expansion scenarios, helping senior stakeholders make data-driven investment decisions.

Key Responsibilities



1. Solutions Design & Expansion Modelling




Support the design and evaluation of new developments, site expansions, and infrastructure projects, ensuring feasibility and alignment with business goals.


Develop cost-benefit and scenario models to compare expansion options and support capital investment decisions.


Assess operational, financial, and strategic implications of new sites, facilities, and capacity expansions.


Provide input into key customer tenders, particularly where they relate to new capacity, site expansions, or development projects.

2. Business Case Development




Prepare structured, data-driven business cases for new builds, upgrades, and strategic investments.


Work closely with Finance, Operations, and Strategy teams to ensure accurate, aligned data assumptions and forecasts.


Present recommendations in a clear, compelling way to influence senior decision-makers.

3. Data Analysis & Assumption Building




Build Excel-based models, using existing data where available and supplementing it with external logic, benchmarks, and assumptions when data is incomplete.


Identify key value drivers, risks, and sensitivities in business case models.


Challenge existing assumptions and bring fresh thinking to investment and design decisions.

4. Stakeholder Engagement & Communication




Work with diverse stakeholders across Europe, including senior leadership, Finance, Operations, Commercial, and external consultants.


Engage with cross-functional teams to gather insights, validate assumptions, and ensure solutions are practical and aligned with business needs.


Present findings in a clear, visually engaging way so that non-technical stakeholders can quickly understand the implications.

5. Modelling, Excel & Data Visualisation




Build financial models and operational forecasts to support investment and capacity decisions.


Use Excel (advanced level) for scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, and data interrogation.


Where relevant, use visualisation tools to translate complex analysis into simple, actionable insights.

6. Cross-Border Collaboration & Travel




Collaborate with teams across different European markets.


Travel within Europe as required to assess sites, meet stakeholders, and support project execution.

What We're Looking For



Experience in 3PL / Logistics / Supply Chain Solutions Design




Background or strong exposure to strategy, expansion planning, logistics network design, or operational growth projects.

Comfort with Limited Data




Able to make logical assumptions, use external insights, and still maintain clarity on risks and sensitivities.

Financial & Operational Modelling Skills




Experience building models for capital investments, expansion scenarios, and cost-benefit analysis.

Excel Expertise




Advanced proficiency in Excel for modelling, data analysis, and scenario planning.

Storytelling & Communication




Able to turn complex analysis into clear, structured, engaging messages for senior stakeholders.

Stakeholder Management




Strong interpersonal skills and confidence working across functions and levels.

Willingness to Travel




Open to European travel Denmark/Sweden/Norway/Belgium/France/The Netherlands/Ireland for site visits, stakeholder meetings, and project assessments.

Nice to Have




Experience with Power BI, SQL, or other data visualization tools


Background in infrastructure planning, supply chain, or logistics solutions


Exposure to market research, financial forecasting, or investment modelling

Why Join Us?

Shape high-impact investment decisions for the company's growth.


Work in a dynamic, cross-functional environment with exposure to senior leadership.


Enjoy a flexible, evolving role with strong career progression and developmental opportunities.
