Job description

If you’re looking for a role where you truly own the international flow of goods and can make a visible impact every day, this could be it.

As Logistics Manager at DO IT Organic, you take full responsibility for all inbound and outbound goods flows, from supplier delivery to customer shipment. You lead the daily logistics operation while shaping a more efficient, scalable and future-proof supply chain.

What will you be doing?

As Logistics Manager, you own everything logistics-related outside the warehouse. While the Operations Manager is responsible for internal processing, you ensure that our products arrive on time and reach our customers as planned.

You will operate in a dynamic environment within the food industry, where quality, traceability and reliability are essential. In this role, you take full ownership and lead the Supply Chain team, consisting of both inbound and outbound specialists who coordinate national and international goods flows.

As Logistics Manager, your responsibilities include:

• Leading and further developing the Supply Chain team (approx. 8 FTE)
• Organising, contracting and optimising transport flows (containers, FTL/LTL and international shipments)
• Managing and optimising external warehouses (including the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom)
• Coordinating and preparing export documentation for shipments to customers outside Europe
• Aligning sales orders and transport requirements with the appropriate logistics flows
• Monitoring and improving KPIs such as delivery reliability, costs and inventory levels
• Initiating and delivering continuous improvement projects (e.g., 3PL, distribution structure and new import flows)

In this role, you will work closely with Category Management (procurement), Sales and Warehouse (internal processing) to ensure the supply chain operates effectively.

You will join an organisation that is continuously evolving. We are expanding internationally and further professionalising our processes. This means you are not only responsible for the daily operation, but also actively contribute to making our logistics chain smarter and more future‑proof.

What will you bring?

• A completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (HBO/WO equivalent)
• Extensive experience in international logistics (transport, export and distribution)
• Experience within the food industry (e.g., food, ingredients or FMCG)
• Familiarity with logistics requirements such as quality, shelf life, traceability and documentation
• Experience working with external logistics partners and/or 3PL providers
• Leadership experience within a logistics environment
• The ability to switch easily between day‑to‑day operations and process improvement
• A strong sense of cost, efficiency and planning
• Ownership and the confidence to make decisions

What do we offer?

When you join us as a Logistics Manager, you will get:

• Premium‑free pension scheme: we pay your share!
• 26 holidays and 8% holiday pay (paid out in May).
• Eligibility for an annual profit distribution in case of a positive operating results (paid out in the second quarter).
• Automatic reimbursement of commuting expenses (€0.23 per km from 10 km), no need to submit expenses.
• The opportunity to buy STAK certificates with a permanent contract.
• Staff discount on a wide range of delicious organic products from our shop.
• A catered lunch every two weeks (optional) for a small contribution per lunch.
• Fun activities every 2–3 months organised by our staff association.
