Supply Chain Manager

Location: Delfzijl, Netherlands

Imagine being responsible for the end-to-end supply chain of a brand-new, first-of-a-kind production facility—one that plays a direct role in accelerating the transition to sustainable aviation.

The Role

With DSL-01, our upcoming production facility in Delfzijl, we are moving from pioneering supply to large-scale production. The plant is expected to be ready for production in 2028, and the operational organization is being built now.

As Supply Chain Manager DSL-01, you will design, build and lead the complete end-to-end supply chain for this facility — from feedstock sourcing and logistics to production support and product offtake. This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior role where you don’t inherit complexity — you create clarity, structure and impact from the ground up.

• Define and implement the end-to-end supply chain strategy for DSL-01.

• Design and roll out S&OP and E2E planning processes (strategic and operational).

• Build and lead the Supply Chain organization (roles, hiring, team development).

• Select and implement ERP / SCM systems.

• Ensure uninterrupted supply of feedstocks, chemicals and additives.

• Ensure smooth offtake of products, by-products and waste streams.

• Own daily production, supply and offtake planning.

• Manage suppliers, off-takers and logistics service providers.

• Own quality, quantity and sustainability documentation flows.

• Prevent demurrage, delays and production losses.

• Fluency in both English and Dutch is required.

• HBO / WO degree.

• 5+ years in supply chain, logistics or operations leadership roles.

• Background in environments such as logistics providers, storage terminals, petrochemical / oleochemical operators or manufacturing.

• Strong understanding of transportation, warehousing, forecasting and stock optimization.

• Hands-on ERP experience (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics or similar).

• Familiar with trade regulations (e.g. ADR), sustainability standards and risk management.

Capabilities

• Comfortable operating at both strategic and plant-operational level.

• Proven ability to build structure in complex, evolving environments.

• Strong stakeholder management skills with suppliers, Logistics Service Providers and internal teams.

• Calm, pragmatic and effective in crisis situations.

Nice to have

• Experience in (renewable) fuels supply chains.

• Lean / Six Sigma or continuous improvement exposure.

• Scenario planning and contingency development.

• German and/or French.

• A rare chance to build a full end-to-end supply chain from scratch.

• High ownership and visibility in a first-of-its-kind SAF production project.

• Direct contribution to the energy transition and sustainable aviation.

• Combination of strategy, execution, and team building.

• Entrepreneurial, purpose-driven environment rather than a traditional corporate setting.

A senior Supply Chain or Operations professional who already performs well in a complex industrial environment, but is looking for:

• More ownership

• Broader scope

• A true build-and-scale challenge

• Work with clear societal impact
