You will own supply chain end-to-end for our implantable devices at the moment it matters most: the transition from clinical supply to commercial launch. There is no established team to inherit and no legacy machine to keep running. You will design the demand, procurement, inventory and logistics processes a compliant, resilient medical device supply chain depends on, run them hands-on, and recruit and lead the team around you as commercial volume grows. You will work daily with Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, Finance and Commercial, and report into operations leadership.\nWhat you'll own\nEnd-to-end supply chain: demand planning, procurement, inventory, logistics and S&OP for implantable devices.\nThe monthly S&OP cadence, driven with Sales, Operations, Finance and Manufacturing, and the forecast accuracy behind it.\nSourcing and supplier strategy for raw materials, implant components and packaging: negotiation, performance management, and (with Supplier Quality and Regulatory) qualification and audits.\nInventory health: service levels, turns, traceability and obsolescence risk, under full lot traceability.\nDomestic and international logistics, warehousing and distribution, with a constant eye on cost and service.\nSupply chain readiness for new product introductions, from material planning to launch.\nSupply risk and continuity: mitigation, contingency and business-continuity planning across suppliers, capacity and materials.\nBuilding the function: as volume scales, recruiting and leading planners, buyers and logistics, and setting the standard for how the team operates.\nCompliance is the baseline\nEverything above runs inside a regulated quality system. You will keep supply chain activities compliant with EU MDR, ISO 13485 and GMP, maintain full product traceability, and support internal, supplier and regulatory audits. FDA 21 CFR 820 / QMSR experience is a plus as we scale internationally.\nIs this you?\nThis role is for you if:\nA blank page energises you. You want to build, not maintain.\nYou're comfortable owning outcomes before you have a team to delegate to.\nYou can hold service, cost, compliance and continuity in your head at the same time.\nYou want the scope of a leadership role now, not in five years.\nIt's probably not for you if:\n- You want a mature ERP, settled processes and a team already in place.\n- You prefer deep specialisation in one lane over end-to-end ownership.\nWhat you'll bring\n3-5+ years in supply chain, spanning planning, procurement and inventory.\nEither first-line management experience, or clear readiness and appetite to step into your first management role and build a team.\nWorking knowledge of demand planning, inventory optimisation, strategic sourcing and S&OP.\nHands-on ERP experience.\nA Bachelor's or Master's in Supply Chain, Operations, Business or a related field.\nFluent English; German, Dutch or Spanish is a plus.\nNice to have\nExperience in medical devices, implants, pharma or another regulated life-sciences environment.\nAPICS/ASCM CSCP or CPIM, or Lean Six Sigma (Green or Black Belt).\nExperience managing 3PLs and FDA-regulated manufacturing.\nHow you'll be measured\nSimple and outcome-based: OTIF ≥ 98%, forecast accuracy ≥ 85%, healthy inventory turns and low backorders, strong supplier on-time delivery and quality, and clean audit and traceability compliance.\nAbout Xeltis\nXeltis is a cardiovascular medical technology company developing a new class of restorative implants: devices engineered to be gradually replaced by the patient's own living tissue. Our lead product, aXess, is a restorative vascular access conduit for patients on haemodialysis. Following CE marking, we are moving into commercial launch. We are around 60 people, headquartered at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, and building the functions that will carry our technology to patients at scale.\nWhat we offer\nThe ownership of building a function end-to-end, with the scope and visibility of being early.\nDirect impact on getting a genuinely novel technology to patients who need it.\nA growing, international team of around 60 people who take the science seriously, move fast, and are easy to work with\nReal ownership, fast decisions, and the chance to see your work reach the clinic\nA culture built on five values we actually use: innovate, listen, grow, act, and joy\nApply\nThis is a full-time, on-site role in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
