About Samako Cleaning

The Role

The Supply Chain Manager will take full ownership of Samako’s end-to-end supply chain, spanning demand forecasting, procurement, inventory planning, logistics and supplier management.

This is much more than a support role.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring products are available at the right time, in the right place and at the right cost. You’ll proactively identify risks and bottlenecks, improve systems and build strong relationships with manufacturers, suppliers, freight forwarders and warehouse partners.

This is a hands-on build + scale opportunity for someone who wants genuine ownership and the opportunity to create a world-class supply chain operation.

Responsibilities

• Own demand forecasting, inventory planning, purchasing and replenishment across all sales channels
• Build rolling 3-, 6- and 12-month forecasts using sales history, seasonality, marketing activity, product launches and commercial targets
• Maintain healthy stock levels across Bol.com, Amazon, Shopify and wholesale channels
• Plan replenishments and manage purchasing cycles to ensure timely procurement and delivery
• Lead the monthly Sales & Operations Planning process, aligning demand, purchasing, inventory, marketing and finance
• Manage relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, freight forwarders, 3PLs and warehouse partners
• Build a resilient supplier and logistics network through contingency planning and backup partners
• Optimise production, inventory and logistics to improve availability while controlling costs
• Support international expansion, additional 3PLs, new sales channels and growing B2B operations
• Ensure compliance with European import/export regulations, customs requirements and HS codes
• Track supply chain KPIs and take corrective action when risks, delays or inefficiencies arise
• Build scalable, data-driven systems and automate processes wherever possible
• Document processes and continuously improve workflows as the business grows

Day to Day

• Reviewing forecasts, inventory levels and replenishment requirements across every channel
• Coordinating purchase orders and deliveries with international suppliers and logistics partners
• Identifying potential stockouts, overstocks, delays and cost inefficiencies before they become problems
• Aligning purchasing and inventory plans with marketing campaigns and product launches
• Leading the monthly S&OP process across operations, marketing and finance
• Monitoring supply chain performance and reporting actionable insights to the COO and CEO
• Improving systems, processes and contingency plans to support continued international growth

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience across supply chain management, logistics or procurement
• At least 3 years of experience within DTC eCommerce
• Strong demand forecasting, inventory planning and analytical capabilities
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills; experience with inventory planning tools is advantageous
• Experience managing international suppliers, manufacturers, freight forwarders and warehouse partners
• Strong knowledge of international logistics, customs procedures and import/export regulations
• Familiarity with Amazon FBA and Shopify fulfilment processes
• Proven ability to design and implement scalable supply chain systems
• Strong negotiation and supplier relationship management skills
• Excellent communication skills in English
• Comfortable working independently and taking full ownership of outcomes

What Really Matters

More than anything, they’re looking for someone who:

• Thinks proactively and identifies issues before they affect the business
• Combines strong analytical skills with practical execution
• Can bring structure and scalability to a fast-growing operation
• Takes genuine ownership and accountability
• Builds strong, commercially valuable supplier relationships
• Remains calm and solutions-focused when navigating complex challenges
• Wants to build an end-to-end supply chain capable of supporting a €100M+ brand

Results

Success in this role will be measured by:

• Accurate forecasts and on-time replenishment across all channels
• Consistently high product availability with fewer stockouts and overstocks
• Improved logistics and inventory efficiency without compromising service
• Strong supplier relationships and favourable commercial terms
• A reliable and scalable S&OP process
• Full compliance with import/export laws and regulations
• Clear, actionable reporting for the COO and CEO
• A resilient supply chain that supports international growth without adding unnecessary operational complexity

Why Join Samako?

• Join a brand with genuine momentum and more than 100,000 customers
• Own the entire supply chain rather than one individual function
• Play a central role in scaling the business towards €100M+
• Build systems and processes with long-term international impact
• Work directly with the leadership team
• Enjoy real autonomy, accountability and progression
• Join a compact team of ambitious, high-performing colleagues

Benefits

• Excellent salary
• Flexible, remote-first working
• Unlimited vacation days, provided your responsibilities are covered
