Role Description

As our Wholesale Sales and Logistics Associate, you’ll sit at the intersection of wholesale sales and operations, supporting the commercial growth of Abel across Europe and beyond, while keeping our backend running smoothly. You’ll coordinate orders end-to-end, and make sure our retailers receive the premium Abel experience they expect. Alongside this, you’ll support core operational workflows including logistics, 3PL coordination, and early-stage product development tasks.

This is a brilliant role for someone early in their career who wants real exposure to multiple sides of a scaling luxury (beauty) brand, enjoys variety, and thrives when juggling partner relationships with hands-on operational detail.

• Sales tracking & reporting: maintain accurate sales data, prepare updates, and share insights to support decisions.
• Maintain customer & pricing data: keep terms, pricing, and partner info up to date across internal systems.
• Coordinate trade marketing materials: send samples, POS, and collateral to retailers and distributors on time.

Operations & Supply Chain Support (approx. 30%)

• Support New Product Development (NPD): research suppliers, source components, gather quotes/samples, and assist early development.
• Sales-linked operations: oversee sample dispatch, POS kitting, and special retailer requests/projects.
• Compliance support: Collect supplier certifications and product documentation as needed for retail/regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate with our Netherlands-based 3PL: daily dispatch, inventory flow, and issue resolution.
• Support global logistics & freight: help manage freight bookings, customs paperwork, and shipping exceptions.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum HBO degree in a relevant field, Master’s degree preferred.
• 0–2 years’ experience in retail sales, sales support, operations, supply chain, or a related role (consumer goods/beauty a plus).
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
• Confident communicator with a customer-first mindset.
• Enjoys working cross-functionally and with external partners.
• Fluent in English, Dutch is a plus.
• Based in The Netherlands (Amsterdam office).

You’ll Thrive If You Are

• Proactive, practical, and solutions-oriented.
• Energised by variety and fast-moving environments.
• A dependable team player who also works well independently.
• Curious about how a growing brand operates end-to-end.
• Excited by clean beauty, sustainability, and premium retail experiences.

Why Join Abel?

• A high-impact role in a scaling, mission-led brand.
• Broad exposure across wholesale, operations, logistics, and product development.
• A collaborative, down-to-earth team that values ownership and initiative.
• Meaningful growth opportunities as Abel expands globally.
