• Education level: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent level of thinking

1. Purpose of the Role

As a Supply Chain Planner for Miron Violetglass B.V. and Calaso B.V., you are responsible for operational planning, which you translate into a concrete, realistic forecast that serves as the foundation for warehouse planning in the Netherlands and the United States.

You will take ownership of the planning processes for both companies and serve as the go-to contact for exceptions or bottlenecks. You’ll work closely with procurement, sales, and logistics — both in Hoogeveen and internationally — and frequently coordinate with colleagues in the United States. You report to and are supported by an experienced business analyst, but you’ll have significant autonomy and authority to make decisions.

We are on the verge of a strategic project to potentially centralize the supply chain planning of our U.S. operations to Hoogeveen. You will play a key role in shaping and professionalizing this transition.

In short: a role with responsibility and impact in a complex, international environment.
