Job description

Your mission
We are solving global plastic pollution - and you will be part of the solution!  
Do you have experience in building and scaling international supply chains, are you familiar with EU and US agribusiness and do you want to work on one of the biggest material innovations for the future? Do you focus on a high level of personal responsibility, disruptive solutions and sustainable supplier relationships? Do you want to grow as part of an ambitious start-up and take on responsibility? Then we are looking for you!

With our innovative technology, we transform agricultural by-products into a groundbreaking and eco-friendly biomaterial – biobased, plastic-free, and compostable. A material that leaves no harmful traces behind. Our goal is to replace as much conventional plastic as possible, and this is where you come into play: to help us build our international supply chains!

As a Strategic Supply Chain Specialist (m/f/d) at traceless, you will be responsible for expanding and scaling our international supply chains for compostable biomaterials. Your core mission is to develop forward-looking supply strategies for our primary raw materials and implement profitable distribution concepts for our by-products. You will establish strategic partnerships with future key suppliers and help build a robust and secure supply chain to achieve our ambitious goal: replacing conventional, petroleum-based plastics on a large scale.

With your extensive experience in international supply chain management, ideally within the agribusiness sector, and a strong network among leading raw material suppliers, you bring the expertise and connections we need. Your negotiation skills and determination make you the ideal candidate to help position traceless as the market leader in compostable biomaterials.

Your responsibilities with us:
  • You will develop long-term strategies for traceless’s international supply chain for primary raw materials and define the distribution strategy for our by-products, ensuring sustainable and competitive sourcing.
  • You will qualify strategic suppliers in the field of agricultural raw materials. Based on your strategy, you will manage relationship building with key suppliers and lead collaborations to success – from initial contact through supplier qualification to contract negotiation.
  • You will secure a continuous and profitable supply for our future industrial traceless facilities, ensuring that supply chains meet the highest quality and sustainability standards.
  • You will continuously expand our international network of suppliers and by-product customers, working closely with the traceless team, especially with senior management, operations, supply chain management, product development, and sales.
  • You will bring market and supplier insights into the company and derive innovation potentials and strategic recommendations for company development to position traceless as a leader in the compostable biomaterials industry.
Your working days are mainly spent remotely, but you will also regularly be in an innovative working environment with start-up flair at the ISI center in Buchholz i.d.N. and from around mid-2025 in Hamburg-Harburg.
Your profile
  • You have a university degree in a technical or business subject or a comparable education, have at least 10 years of professional experience, ideally with a focus on supply chain and sales
  • You have international experience in agribusiness, in particular raw material procurement and by-product sales
  • You enjoy developing strategic concepts 
  • You are characterized by a high level of technical and professional competence and creativity in finding solutions
  • You are business fluent in German and English
  • Experienced handling of MS Office and D365 Business Central is an advantage
  • You have very good communication skills and negotiation experience
  • You have a hands-on mentality and think innovatively and solution-oriented
  • You are a team player and have a sense of humor
  • You are willing to travel nationally and internationally
Why us?
Become part of our Operations Group, which produces the innovation material of the future and scales internationally!
At traceless you get a job with purpose! A team of passionate experts is waiting for you, united by our pioneering spirit and our mission to create a better future. If you want to actively shape the green industrial production of tomorrow today, then you've come to the right place.

We offer you a unique team spirit and flat hierarchies in which you can grow together with us. You will be given the freedom to develop solutions independently, take on responsibility and make a real difference with your skills every day. We value respect, fairness and working together as partners, so you can always rely on the support of your colleagues. Mutual appreciation and empowerment form the core of our culture, because we know that we can only achieve our goals together.

We offer you fair pay based on our transparent salary model. You will also receive shares in our company through our Employee Shares Program.
