Job Vacancy - Supply Chain Manager

Location: Rotterdam Headquarters
Employment type: Full-time
Hours per week: 40 hours
Start date: Immediately

As Supply Chain Manager at MOST WANTED, you are the link between purchasing, transport, the warehouse and marketing. You are the one person in the company who knows exactly what has been ordered, where it is and when it will be delivered. This ensures that the right items are available at the right time: in the warehouse, on the website and in campaigns.
At our company, the collection is not fixed a year and a half in advance. We work with short lines of communication and launch new items online every week. Our buyers and product developers each work on their own product range and suppliers. The next step is to create an overview of these flows and coordinate their deliveries. You will build and monitor this. This is a new role within MOST WANTED, giving you the freedom to shape it yourself. At the same time, you will need to take the team's pace and current way of working into account.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

• Combine all purchase orders from the different product ranges into one overview: what has been ordered, from which supplier, at what stage and when it will arrive.
• Monitor confirmed delivery dates with suppliers, follow up where necessary and keep the overview up to date.
• Organize and manage transport flows (truck, sea freight, air) from all regions we receive deliveries from, including contact with carriers, freight forwarders and
  customs clearance.
• Choose the right transport mode for each shipment based on cost, lead time and when the item is needed.
• Act as the permanent link between purchasing and marketing/content: provide weekly insight into what will arrive when, so shoots, campaigns and drops can be planned accordingly.
• Immediately translate delays into their impact on campaign planning, availability and revenue, and propose a solution instead of simply reporting the issue.
• Continuously coordinate with our warehouse on inbound deliveries, receiving schedules and capacity, so peaks such as Black Friday run smoothly and without surprises.
• Monitor the flow of incoming goods toward finance: the overview you manage forms the basis for cash flow planning.
• Identify structural issues with suppliers or carriers and improve the related agreements and processes.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You are organized, practical and able to maintain an overview when things get busy. You are just as comfortable speaking on the phone with a freight forwarder in Asia as you are in a meeting with marketing. You think in processes, but also have a feel for the product and the pace of a fashion brand. In addition, you are able to bring people along in your way of thinking and working and ensure that everyone is aligned.

WHAT YOU BRING

• At least 3 years of experience in supply chain, logistics, import or inbound planning, preferably within fashion or e-commerce.
• Experience with international transport flows (sea, air, road), Incoterms and
  customs clearance.
• Experience setting up and maintaining order administration or PO tracking, in Excel or using tools such as ERP, WMS or PLM.
• You understand how a 3PL warehouse operates and how to make agreements with one.
• You communicate clearly with people who do not work in logistics: buyers, designers and marketers.
• You work quickly, systematically and independently.
• Good command of Dutch and English.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A key role within a fast-growing fashion company.
• Lots of responsibility and a direct impact on availability, campaigns and results.
• Room to establish your own inbound structure and tools.
• Fun colleagues in a young, dynamic and ambitious team.
• Short lines of communication and a fast pace.
• Our office in Rotterdam.
• Market-rate salary based on experience.
• Room to help build the continued growth of MOST WANTED.
