Job Description
Join Our Purpose - Feeding the Future
Nutreco is a member of the SHV family, and we are committed to 'Feeding the Future' through sustainable and innovative practices. Nutreco has two business lines: Skretting is a leading global provider of innovative aquafeed solutions, revolutionizing aquaculture for a sustainable future. Trouw Nutrition specializes in animal nutrition and is committed to advancing livestock health and productivity through cutting-edge solutions.
Cellfeed is Nutreco’s innovation hub for cellular agriculture—where protein is made by feeding cells in bioreactors. Our focus is clear: create the nutritional solutions that cultivated‑meat producers rely on to grow cells at quality and scale.
About the Role
To turn that ambition into day‑to‑day reality, we’re looking for a Supply Chain Lead to build and run the entire supply chain from our Boxmeer (NL) pilot plant. You’ll be the supply‑chain point person inside Cellfeed -close to the science, hands‑on in operations, and thoughtful about what needs to scale next.
You’ll bridge two strengths: Cellfeed’s agile, innovation‑focused environment and Nutreco’s Global Supply Points (GSP) - our internal production and logistics network across the Netherlands, Germany, and the USA that supports Trouw Nutrition globally. As part of the GSP community, you’ll tap into proven standards, systems, and expertise, then right‑size them for a small, R&D‑driven setup.
The goal is simple and ambitious: deliver seamless planning, inventory, and logistics today, while building scalable processes for tomorrow.
Responsibilities
Build and evolve Cellfeed’s end‑to‑end supply chain: planning, purchasing, inventory, logistics, and customer service.
Lead weekly S&OE and monthly IBP cycles; turn scenarios into clear decisions.
Partner with Global Supply Points to adopt best practices while tailoring them to Cellfeed’s scale and pace.
Shape policies for planning, replenishment, and inventory; optimize working capital without compromising service.
Coordinate logistics and warehousing with external providers; drive continuous improvement in cost‑to‑serve.
Qualifications
Degree in Supply Chain, Operations, or a similar field.
5+ years’ experience in demand/supply planning or operations.
Practical experience with IBP/S&OE, scenario planning, and KPI management (OTIF, inventory days, capacity utilization).
Proficiency with ERP systems (Infor M3 a plus) and strong Excel skills.
Fluency in English; Dutch or Spanish language skills are a plus.
Expectation from Role
Establish and optimize supply chain processes to support Cellfeed’s growth.
Ensure compliance with HSE and quality standards in all operations.
Drive continuous improvement and efficiency across supply chain activities.
Why You Will Love Working with Us:
A full-time position in an international, dynamic environment.
Competitive remuneration package, good pension scheme, and 30 vacation days.
Opportunities for professional growth within Nutreco and the broader SHV group.
Next Steps:
We value a seamless candidate experience and would like to respond within five (5) business days. The hiring process typically takes 4-6 weeks.
