Be part of something special. Join Vanden.

We are on a mission to build the world's largest recycled plastic commodities company. We're not just looking for the ordinary; we need passionate, determined, and resilient people to join us on our journey.

Is that you? Here at Vanden, our people make our business, and we are incredibly grateful for how proactive and resourceful our team is, in every location across the globe. We provide the support and autonomy that allows our people to grow and develop professionally, and we offer in-depth training to equip them for their role while promoting and celebrating teamwork and collaboration.

We exist to make a difference. Where others see 'waste,' we see valuable commodities. We want to be the company that creates the most value from plastic waste.

  • Develop rate sheets and pricing tools to support the commercial team
  • Provide forecasting and strategy insights to leadership
  • Improve SOPs, reduce costs, and challenge inefficiencies
  • Contribute to ERP and data initiatives to enhance performance
  • Mentor and train staff on shipping regulations and processes

About You

  • Strong understanding of forwarding and logistics, particularly ocean freight
  • Confident managing teams and driving performance
  • Skilled in negotiating, problem-solving, and building provider relationships
  • Able to manage the full logistics process from booking through to delivery
  • Comfortable collaborating across time zones and departments
  • Highly analytical, organised, and solutions-oriented
