Logistics & Transport Manager

Fuel your limits. Go beyond.

At Amacx, everything revolves around getting better. With our sports nutrition, we support endurance athletes of every level, from dedicated weekend warriors to professional athletes. We work with leading names such as Team Visma | Lease a Bike, Amstel Gold Race, IRONMAN, Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team and AZ Alkmaar.

We are growing fast and now deliver to customers in 31 countries. All our products are produced externally, so every pallet comes in from a supplier and goes out again to a customer somewhere in the world. That is why we are looking for a Logistics & Transport Manager who keeps full sight of all inbound and outbound shipments, from supplier to customer, and organises our logistics in a smart and cost-conscious way: the right service for the customer, at the right cost.

You are the director of our flow of goods. You always know where our goods are, what it costs to get them there and which choice delivers the most commercial value. You work closely with our Warehouse Manager, who is responsible for day-to-day warehouse operations, and with Procurement, Sales and Backoffice. As a scale-up we work without unnecessary hierarchy: you think strategically and you also get things done yourself.

Full visibility of inbound and outbound shipments

  • You have up-to-date visibility of all inbound shipments from our (international) suppliers, from pick-up to receipt, and act in time when there are delays.
  • You coordinate and monitor our national and international outbound shipments, from order confirmation to delivery.
  • You make sure shipments are prepared correctly, including transport, export and customs documentation.
  • You maintain one up-to-date overview of all shipments, so Sales, Procurement and Backoffice always know where goods are and when they will arrive.
  • You spot deviations, resolve them quickly and make sure they do not happen again.

Costs & commercial trade-offs

  • You own our logistics costs (transport, storage, external warehouses) and actively manage costs per shipment, pallet and market.
  • You negotiate rates and terms with carriers and freight forwarders, and benchmark them regularly.
  • For each customer, market or order, you weigh service level against cost (express or consolidated, pallet or parcel, own or external warehouse) and advise Sales accordingly.
  • You make logistics costs transparent for Sales and management, so delivery promises are commercially and operationally feasible.
  • You continuously look for savings without compromising delivery reliability or customer experience.

Collaboration & alignment

  • With Procurement, you align on inbound goods, lead times and expected availability.
  • With Sales, you align on delivery promises, large or special orders and customer-specific requirements.
  • With Backoffice, you work together on order processing, documentation and administration.
  • With the Warehouse Manager, you align on inbound and outbound flows, capacity and priorities, and together you safeguard safety, quality, order and cleanliness in the warehouse.
  • You are the central point of contact for carriers, freight forwarders and external logistics partners.

Process improvement & professionalisation

  • You map our logistics processes and make them scalable, with a focus on delivery reliability, costs and error reduction.
  • You make performance measurable with KPIs such as lead time, delivery reliability, transport costs and deviations.
  • You make smarter use of systems, data and automation across the logistics chain.
  • You are a sparring partner for management on logistics, transport and international growth.

What you get

  • An independent, responsible role at a fast-growing international sports nutrition brand, with plenty of room to leave your mark on our logistics.
  • A competitive salary, 25 vacation days (based on 40 hours), 8% holiday allowance and pension accrual.
  • A phone and travel allowance, free fruit and a generous staff discount on our range.

What you offer

  • You have a vocational or higher professional (MBO+/HBO) level of education, preferably in logistics, supply chain or transport.
  • You have 3 to 7 years of experience in logistics or transport, preferably with international (B2B) shipments.
  • You have experience with export, customs formalities and transport documentation.
  • You have experience buying transport and negotiating with carriers and freight forwarders.
  • You are cost-conscious and commercially minded: you understand that logistics contributes to both customer satisfaction and margin.
  • You are analytically strong and enjoy working with figures, KPIs and systems (Excel, ERP/WMS).
  • You think in processes: you see not only what goes wrong, but also why.
  • You switch easily between colleagues and external partners, and communicate fluently in Dutch and English.
  • You are hands-on and pragmatic, and you make sure improvements are actually implemented.
  • A forklift certificate or VCA is a plus.
