Supply Chain Manager – Samako Cleaning

Rewarding Salary + Benefits

Full Time

Remote | EU-Based

We've partnered with Samako Cleaning, a fast-scaling DTC brand in the home care space, now looking to hire an experienced Supply Chain Manager to own and optimise its end-to-end supply chain.

About Samako Cleaning

At Samako, we believe a clean home creates a clear mind.

Cleaning shouldn't feel like a chore or a source of frustration; it should bring calm, clarity and balance to everyday life.

Samako designs minimalist, beautifully crafted cleaning companions that are made to be seen and used. Rooted in Dutch design, its products combine form and function to create effortless routines and peaceful spaces.

In just five years, Samako has grown into a much-loved brand with more than 100,000 happy customers, strong sales across Bol.com, Amazon and its own webshop, and a highly engaged community.

Following this strong and consistent growth, Samako is entering its next phase of international expansion. To support its ambition of becoming a €100M+ brand, the business is now looking to build a resilient, scalable and data-driven supply chain operation.

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.
