Who we are
Suntree Food BV is a startup company operational for a year and part of the Cefetra Group. We specialize in import & distribution of sustainable nuts, dried fruits, edible seeds and superfoods and cater to high-spec industrial customers, private label and branded retail packers, both conventional and organic.

We are IFS broker certified and are organic certified. We aim to be the leading supplier of ingredients to retail packers, brands and the food industry by creating sustainable long-term partnerships with suppliers and customers in an entrepreneurial, no-nonsense and engaging culture.

The job
As a Supply Chain Officer, you play a key role in ensuring our daily logistics operations run smoothly within a fast-growing company. Your main focus will be on managing import of the nuts, dried fruits and seeds by container shipments from start to finish, coordinating the process from supplier to final delivery, as well as the smooth handling of outbound customer orders. In this role, you will act as the central point of contact between suppliers, logistics providers, warehouses, and internal teams. You’ll take ownership of operations and resolve issues as they arise.

What you’ll do

• Manage inbound shipments, from booking through to final delivery

• Take responsibility for the handling of outbound customer orders, from issuing release orders to the warehouse to arranging transport

• Ensure customer orders are delivered on time, in full and to the full satisfaction of our customers

• Coordinate with freight forwarders, transport providers, and warehouses

Who are you?
You are someone who takes ownership and enjoys making things run smoothly. You’re naturally organized, detail-oriented, and able to keep an overview even when multiple shipments and deadlines are moving at the same time. You don’t wait for problems to escalate but you spot them early and take action. You’re comfortable working independently but also enjoy collaborating with others and communicating clearly across teams and external partners. In a fast-paced environment, you stay calm, structured, and focused on solutions.

In addition, you bring:

• A bachelor’s degree in Logistics, Supply Chain, Business, or a related field
