Textile waste is a growing global challenge. Syre’s mission is to decarbonize and dewaste textiles, starting with the world's biggest fiber, polyester. By implementing true textile-to-textile recycling at hyperscale, we want to drive the transition from a linear to a circular value chain by putting textile waste to use, over and over again.

Syre is now looking to expand our operations team with a skilled and detail-oriented Supply Chain and Logistics Specialist. If you are passionate about optimizing processes and ensuring the smooth flow of products from suppliers to customers, we want to hear from you!

You will play a key role in designing and building up our operational readiness for the operation of the Blueprint plant. In addition, you will be part of the team preparing the organization for future expansion, including potential international travel.

  • Develop and implement logistics strategies to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.
  • Monitor and forecast demand, adjusting orders and shipments to meet customer needs while minimizing excess inventory.
  • Analyze logistics data, including transportation costs, delivery performance, and inventory levels, to identify improvement opportunities.
  • Negotiate contracts and maintain strong relationships with vendors and carriers.
  • Ensure compliance with industry regulations, safety standards, and company policies.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including procurement, sales, and production, to align supply chain operations with business objectives.
  • Implement technology solutions to track shipments, inventory, and logistics performance.
  • Identify and mitigate potential supply chain risks to avoid disruptions.

We would prefer if you have

  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills.
  • Strong negotiation and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Knowledge of industry regulations and best practices in supply chain management.
  • Certification in supply chain management (e.g., APICS, CSCMP) is a plus.
