Description du poste

Are you a hands-on Supply Chain Manager who knows eCommerce, inventory, and international logistics?

We’re looking for an experienced Supply Chain Manager who can take ownership of our supply chain across the Netherlands/Belgium, UK, and US.

You’ll work closely with the founder and COO to make sure we have the right inventory in the right markets, suppliers and logistics partners are running smoothly, and we’re continuously finding ways to improve costs and efficiency.

If you’re strong in supply chain, comfortable working independently, fluent in Dutch, and enjoy solving problems before they become bigger problems, we’d love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Own day-to-day supply chain operations across NL/BE, UK, and US

• Manage sourcing and manufacturing relationships

• Plan and forecast inventory across multiple markets

• Build and maintain reorder and purchasing plans

• Monitor stock levels, lead times, inbound shipments, and potential stock-out risks

• Plan inventory for major sales periods, including Black Friday and Q4

• Manage relationships with our 3PLs, freight forwarders, and logistics partners

• Coordinate international shipments from suppliers through to fulfillment

• Manage shipping and logistics across the EU, UK, and US

• Coordinate customs and import requirements

• Identify and implement opportunities to reduce freight, fulfillment, and landed costs

• Evaluate alternative shipping and fulfillment models, including direct shipping from China/Asia

• Source and evaluate new suppliers and manufacturers

• Request product samples and coordinate supplier evaluations

• Negotiate supplier pricing, terms, and logistics costs

• Build strong relationships with suppliers and logistics partners

• Track supply chain performance and maintain clear reporting

• Identify bottlenecks and proactively solve operational issues

• Build and improve supply chain processes as the business continues to scale

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of hands-on supply chain experience

• Fluent Dutch, both spoken and written

• Good English communication skills

• Experience with inventory planning, forecasting, and replenishment

• Hands-on experience working with 3PLs and freight forwarders

• Experience managing international shipping and logistics

• Understanding of customs and import requirements

• Experience managing suppliers and/or manufacturers

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership

• Available to work during EU hours

• Looking for a long-term freelance/contractor engagement

Experience with eCommerce or DTC? Even better.

We’d be particularly interested in candidates who have worked with eCommerce or DTC brands, especially larger online businesses.

Experience in any of the following would be a strong advantage:

• 8-, 9-, or 10-figure eCommerce brands

• Supplements, health & wellness, food, or FMCG

• Sourcing and manufacturing in China or Asia

• Shipping products directly from China/Asia

• ShipBob or similar 3PL platforms

• Multi-market inventory planning

• Black Friday / Q4 demand planning

• Logistics and landed-cost optimization

• Supplier negotiations and cost reduction

You don't need to have done everything listed above. But you should be someone who can take ownership of a supply chain, understand how all the moving pieces connect, and confidently solve problems without needing to be micromanaged.

Remote & EU Hours

This is a fully remote role and we're open to candidates outside the Netherlands.

You must be able to work during EU working hours and communicate effectively with a remote team.

Dutch fluency is required for this role.

Why this role?

You’ll join a fast-growing DTC brand operating across the Netherlands/Belgium, UK, and US, where supply chain directly impacts growth, customer experience, and profitability.

You’ll work closely with the founder and COO, giving you genuine ownership and visibility into the business.

This isn't a role where you'll simply be following processes someone else created. You'll have the opportunity to improve the supply chain, identify cost savings, build supplier relationships, and help shape how the operation scales.

We're looking for someone interested in a long-term collaboration, not a short-term project.

If you're a Supply Chain Manager who enjoys taking ownership, solving complex logistics problems, and helping a growing eCommerce business scale, we'd love to hear from you.
