Job description

Why we are here

Together, we can fight exploitation in cocoa. Full stop. Tony's is an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes an impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too.

What You Will Do

We are looking for a Business Controller Logistics to bring financial clarity to how we move and store our chocolate around the world. From inbound and outbound logistics to warehousing and inventory, you will connect the numbers to what is happening in our supply chain, helping us make better decisions as we grow our business and our impact.

You will be the go‑to finance partner for our Heads of Operations in Europe and the US and our S&OP Manager. Together, you will understand performance, challenge assumptions and identify opportunities to improve efficiency. Whether you are unpacking the impact of tariffs and freight rates or building a business case for a new logistics initiative, you will turn complex information into clear recommendations.

Based in Amsterdam, you will report to the Supply Chain Finance Manager and join our six‑person Business Planning & Performance team. Alongside your logistics focus, you will support month‑end close and the wider supply chain planning cycle. If you love getting into the detail while keeping sight of the bigger picture, this could be your next move.

All wrapped up

• Own logistics planning and control: Deliver timely, reliable reporting, latest estimates, budgets and three‑year plans for logistics and warehousing. Bring clarity to historical and expected performance, flagging risks early so there are no avoidable surprises.
• Make our costs transparent: Build a robust control framework that delivers reliable insights into actual and forecast inbound and outbound logistics costs, warehousing spend, and inventory levels. Analyze and quantify how tariffs, fuel prices, and ocean and air freight rates affect financial performance, incorporating these drivers into forecasts to anticipate risks and support decision‑making.
• Be a trusted business partner: Work closely with our Heads of Operations in Europe and the US and our S&OP Manager to translate financial insights into action. Challenge spending decisions and explain differences against budget and the costs included in our transfer pricing.
• Spot opportunities and drive improvement: Identify opportunities to improve financial performance and supply chain efficiency. Turn analysis into practical recommendations and influence stakeholders to make decisions that are best for Tony's.
• Build business cases that deliver: Partner with operational teams on new supply chain initiatives, making assumptions, risks and financial trade‑offs clear before sign‑off. Track actual performance and embed new initiatives into our planning and control framework.
• Support the wider finance cycle: Help the Supply Chain Finance Manager deliver month‑end close and planning for our Bars entities in the Netherlands and the US. Prepare transfer pricing models, coordinate operational inputs and support other supply chain finance topics when needed.

Job Requirements

Our new flavor

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in business control, Corperate banking, transaction services or a value creation team. You bring a strong financial foundation, developed through education or experience.
• Highly analytical, with the ability to connect financial detail to business performance. You do more than explain what happened: you help people understand what to do next.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills. You translate complex financial information into clear recommendations and work confidently with colleagues across all levels of the organization.
• The confidence to speak up and challenge assumptions. You bring an informed opinion, ask thoughtful questions and influence decisions with sound analysis.
• An entrepreneurial approach to building structure. You enjoy improving processes, taking ownership and making things work in a dynamic, growing business.
• Flexibility and a team‑first mindset. You balance recurring deadlines with new priorities and step beyond your own focus area when the wider team needs support.
• Experience in FMCG, logistics or supply chain is a plus, as is experience in a fast‑growing organization.
• We are all about being more in person than apart: this means we offer flexibility but see each other in the office on average 3 days a week. More is fine too!
• Believe wholeheartedly in Tony's purpose. You live our core values: outspoken, in it together, entrepreneurial, raise the bar, and makes you smile.

Our Benefits (the Icing On The Cake)

At Tony's you will get the opportunity to be part of something extraordinary: first and foremost, by making real impact in the world but also enjoying the nice benefits we provide as you help us succeed. We are dedicated to enabling all Tonys to grow and develop their careers and therefore we offer training programs, regular feedback cycles, coaching and a generous L&D budget. We also offer a wide range of additional benefits, including a luxurious vega‑lunch, company bonus, minimum of 28 holidays, inspirational team updates, unforgettable events and unlimited chocolate. But we also know chocolate will not cover the bills, so we have made sure your salary is just as rewarding. For this role that means a salary between 68k - 85k on a yearly basis, including holiday pay.

At Tony's we are convinced that diversity of thought, background and perspectives will make us stronger (...just like the different flavors of our chocolate assortment). Our mission is founded on principles of equity and justice, and we are actively seeking candidates who bring new perspectives and life experiences, especially from underrepresented groups. We look forward to your application!
