Tails.com is looking for an experienced Factory Manager to oversee our Netherlands operations located in Amstelveen. Working with our high performing operational teams, you will be instrumental in ensuring we serve our customers on time, all the time.
We’re tails.com, a dog food subscription company with a big difference. We create truly tailored food for each and every dog we serve. We start by asking people a few simple questions about their dog. Then we use that information to create their dog’s unique tails.com recipe – so their dog gets exactly the nutrition they need, in the taste they love, delivered to their door every month. It’s clever stuff.
We’ve got ambitious plans. Having created an entirely new category in pet food, we’re now scaling fast in the UK and Europe – backed by Purina, one of the world’s largest pet food companies. You’ll join a bunch of smart people working towards the same goals – and a bunch of smart-ish dogs, all working on their own thing.
Together, we’ll change the world of pet food for good.
In Factory Operations, we’re responsible for creating a different product for each and every dog, and delivering it to our customers - on time and in beautiful condition. It means we design the processes that make it possible to do what tails.com does – meeting challenges and finding new ways to do incredible things.
The team is engaged, empowered, and high-performing. We’re driven by results and delivery – which means you get the space and trust to take a problem and solve it. We believe most hard skills are learnable – so we’re looking for attitude and approach above all else. Eager to learn, adapt, and work hard? You could be just the person we need to deliver a truly game-changing product to thousands of people, every day.
Sound like a team you want to join? Here’s how you’ll make a difference:
Based in our Amstelveen Factory, you will provide leadership to our Factory Operation teams and support to other functions to ensure that all tails customers receive their orders right the first time. Production scheduling, facilities management and the effective distribution of finished goods to the customer through our courier partners are at the heart of this role.
With a strong focus on people, you will execute Factory Operations long term production and distribution plans in our European markets as well as supporting strategic engineering and change projects, including supporting the development and production of new products.
You will also share in the objectives of other operational teams such as Supply Chain and Quality teams, working collaboratively to meet tails growth objectives and maintain a smoothly running operation.
And it's a bonus if you have an Engineering, Manufacturing or Management Degree.
