SOM Coordinator - Supply Chain & Customs Operations

Your role

As SOM Coordinator, you are a key player within our Supply Chain & Operations team. You combine operational supervision of daily inbound and outbound flows with an active role as back-up customs declarant — a unique combination for those looking to broaden their logistics experience with customs expertise, or vice versa.

You work closely with a dedicated SOM colleague and act as her back-up during leave periods. Alongside day-to-day operations, you contribute to SOM projects: process optimisations, implementations, and continuous improvement initiatives.

What will you do?

• You supervise the operational flow within the SOM department: daily coordination, follow-up, and quality control of goods movements.

• You monitor the full inbound process — from order processing and transport coordination to final delivery at the warehouse — and proactively resolve logistical challenges.

• You ensure accurate, complete, and up-to-date administrative processing of order data in our systems (ERP, WMS, customs software).

• You act as back-up customs declarant for approximately 6 weeks per year: handling customs declarations and ensuring compliance with customs and excise procedures.

• You contribute to the development and follow-up of SOM projects.

• You maintain clear and proactive communication with suppliers, carriers, and internal colleagues across ODC.

Your profile

We are looking for a candidate with a strong combination of hands-on logistics experience and affinity with customs procedures. Ideally someone ready to step from a declarant role into a broader logistics function — or looking to enrich an operational background with customs expertise.

• At least 3 years of experience in a logistics or supply chain environment.

• Basic knowledge of customs and excise procedures; extensive knowledge or experience as a customs declarant is a clear advantage.

• Comfortable working with ERP, WMS, and/or customs software.

• Accurate, detail-oriented, and quality-conscious.

• Proactive and solution-driven, even when things do not go as planned.

• Both independent and a genuine team player — you take ownership and collaborate constructively.

• Cost-aware and business-minded.

• Excellent communication skills in Dutch and English.

• Bachelor's level thinking, preferably with a logistics-oriented background.

What do we offer?

• A key role within a growing international company active in travel retail and logistics.

• A varied position with real operational responsibility and room to think along on projects.

• The opportunity to further develop your customs and logistics expertise in a dynamic environment.

• A flat organisational structure with fast decision-making and direct collaboration with management.

• International contacts and a diverse range of tasks.

• As you grow, the potential to take on expanded responsibilities — including a possible supervisory role for candidates with the right experience.

• A competitive compensation package in line with your profile and experience, complemented by a range of employee benefits.
