Supply Chain Manager
Nuud is set out to revolutionize deodorants with products based on natural ingredients that benefit the body and the planet. An effective supply chain is a prerequisite for continuing the scale-up’s growth. The Supply Chain Manager automates and optimizes processes to ensure flawless operations while complexity (volumes and SKUs) increases.
About Nuud
Nuud is an Amsterdam-based scale-up and the first natural deodorant brand without the disadvantages of traditional deodorants. Their products are harmless to the body, yet highly effective.
Nuud’s concentrated cream is made entirely with natural ingredients. The active compound is micro silver, which neutralizes the bacteria that cause odor. The other ingredients are natural oils that care for the skin and maintain the micro silver. Unlike other products, Nuud has no aluminum salts or parabens and contains no artificial fragrances or alcohol.
Launched in 2017, Nuud already has annual revenues exceeding ten million euros and more than 1.5 million people worldwide are excited about its products. The scale-up currently employs about twenty FTEs. Their products are sold in more than one hundred countries, and mainly focus on Western Europe and new markets in the US and UK.
Nuud’s success is mainly thanks to a direct-to-consumer approach that leverages the power of e-commerce, social media, and their customers’ engagement. To continue its rapid growth, Nuud is adding new product categories and shifting its business model towards an omnichannel strategy. They’re also expanding their retailer network in key markets such as France, DACH, and the Benelux.

Supply Chain Manager
Nuud’s Supply Chain Manager will lead the production, fulfillment, and worldwide shipments. Their priority will be to automate processes, implement a new ERP solution (Odoo), and optimize workflows. The Supply Chain Manager will join Nuud’s leadership team. They’ll work closely with the company’s founders and four other leads in charge of Marketing, Influencer Marketing, B2B, and Design.
Today, Nuud’s logistics are getting more and more complex.

Shifting to an omnichannel business model is also adding to this role’s complexity and its exciting dynamics. To be successful in this aspect, the Supply Chain Manager needs the analytical expertise to oversee the entire process, ensure flawless execution, and push for automation.
The position also involves building and maintaining strong relationships with various stakeholders, including suppliers, fulfillment partners and other companies in the value chain. The Supply Chain Manager will actively dive into data to analyze sales figures, make accurate forecasts, and optimize inventory positions. These responsibilities illustrate the flexibility and versatile skillset – from communications to analytics – needed for success.

As the company continues to grow, the Supply Chain Manager will have the opportunity to broaden their scope towards process optimization and product development. That’s why this role is an ideal fit for someone who can drive growth, effectively prioritize, and is energized by contributing to Nuud’s further international expansion.
