Regional Service Operations Manager (Europe)

February 16 2880, Bornem

Department

Service Repair Center – Operations

Summary

Quest International is seeking a Regional Service Operations Manager (Europe) to lead service execution across Belgium and Germany. This role owns depot performance, vendor field service coordination, SLA compliance, and Tier 2 technical escalation within a regulated, ISO-driven environment. This is an execution-driven leadership role with direct accountability for operational KPIs, service quality, turnaround time, and customer performance — not a strategy-only position. The role is based in Belgium and provides hands-on oversight of EU service operations.

Responsibilities

  • Lead day-to-day depot workflow execution in Belgium
  • Oversee EU vendor field service partners and SLA compliance
  • Drive operational KPIs (turnaround time, quality, productivity, cost control)
  • Manage Tier 2 technical escalation and customer-facing issue resolution
  • Ensure ISO/GDP documentation compliance and audit readiness
  • Report operational performance to global leadership
  • Coordinate cross-border service execution (Belgium & Germany)
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives across EU service operations

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of service operations or field service leadership experience
  • Experience in regulated industries (MedTech, Healthcare, OEM, Industrial, or similar)
  • Proven background managing depot operations and vendor service networks
  • Strong KPI reporting and SLA management experience
  • Experience handling technical escalations and customer performance issues
  • Professional English proficiency required
  • German or Dutch proficiency is a strong advantage
  • Authorized to work in Belgium (no sponsorship available)
Not a fit for:
  • Strategy-only or corporate PM roles without operational ownership
  • Sales-focused roles without service execution experience
  • Leaders without direct KPI accountability
  • Willingness to travel within EU as required

Offer

  • Gross annual salary range: €85,000 – €110,000 (based on experience and scope)
  • Executive-level operational leadership role
  • Direct visibility to global leadership
  • Cross-border service ownership (Belgium & Germany)
  • Performance-driven environment with KPI accountability

Additional information

This role is based in Belgium and requires regular presence within EU service operations. It is not a remote-only role.
Candidates must demonstrate hands-on operational leadership experience in regulated service environments.
