Job description

At Nutreco, an SHV company, you will own an innovative supply chain role within Cell Feed, where science, innovation and operational excellence meet. In this position, you shape strategy and execution, partnering closely with Global Supply Points to turn breakthrough technologies into reliable, scalable operations.

Cell Feed is Nutreco’s innovation hub for cellular agriculture – a new way of producing protein by feeding cells in bioreactors rather than raising entire animals. To help this field scale, the team develops nutritional solutions that enable cultivated-meat producers to grow their cells consistently and efficiently.

As the local Supply Chain Specialist, you connect Cell Feed’s fast-moving, science-driven culture with Nutreco’s Global Supply Points, an international network of production and logistics facilities. These sites form the backbone of Nutreco’s specialty supply chain, and their standards, systems and expertise will support you in building the supply chain for an entirely new product.

By translating proven Global Supply Point capabilities into an early-stage, innovation environment, you help Cell Feed grow from pilot scale to global relevance. It’s a space where curiosity meets execution, where structure is built from scratch and where every improvement moves a new industry forward.

What you’ll do

• Build and evolve Cell Feed’s end to end supply chain across planning, purchasing, inventory management, logistics and customer service.
• Lead the weekly S&OE and monthly IBP cycles and translate scenarios into concrete decisions.
• Partner with Nutreco’s Global Supply Points to bring proven supply chain standards into an early stage, R&D driven environment.
• Shape planning, replenishment and inventory policies while optimising working capital without losing service reliability.
• Coordinate warehousing and logistics with external providers and drive continuous improvement in cost to serve and operational performance.

Who we’re looking for

Someone who takes ownership, brings structure to complexity and thrives in a fast moving, innovation driven setting. You bring:

• Degree in Supply Chain, Operations or a related field.
• Five or more years of experience in end-to-end demand or supply planning, or operations.
• Experience with IBP, S&OE, scenario planning and KPIs such as OTIF, inventory and capacity utilisation.
• Confidence working with ERP systems (we use Infor M3), and strong Excel capability.
• Fluency in English; Dutch or Spanish is a plus.

What you’ll receive

A place in a global community united by the mission of Feeding the Future.

• A competitive package with 30 vacation days and a solid pension scheme.
• Flexible work environment (hybrid).
• Access to learning (incl. internal training and e-learning), peer communities, and opportunities across Nutreco and SHV.
• An inclusive culture where you’ll be encouraged to own your ideas, your development, and your impact.

This role offers the chance to shape how a new category in sustainable protein becomes reality. If you’re ready to build, influence and grow in an environment where ownership matters, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
