Company: Orbem

About the job

Orbem uses AI to industrialize MRI, delivering non-invasive insight into everything from fruits to eggs to the human body. We are transforming what is becoming the world’s largest biological dataset into actionable intelligence to reduce waste, increase quality, and accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable and healthier future.

Headquartered and founded in Munich, Germany, with an office now in Houston, Texas, our world-class team is scaling inside-out technology to transform how humanity sees and understands biological matter.

Your Role
As a Supply Chain Manager, you'll be a core part of our Procurement & Supply Chain team, driving the flow of materials, components, and products across our international markets. You'll work hands-on across sourcing, logistics, and delivery to keep our European and international installations running smoothly and support the people who depend on them, internally and externally.

Requirements

Your Experience And Skills

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in supply chain, logistics, procurement, or operations.
  • You're hands-on, self-sufficient, and know how to solve problems without waiting to be told. You adapt quickly in fast-moving environments and don't need things to be perfectly defined to get started.
  • Experienced in supplier management and negotiations.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to spot inefficiencies and actually fix them.
  • You have hands-on experience with inventory management, logistics fulfillment, and project management. Familiarity with the tools that support these is expected.
  • Fluent in English and German (written and spoken). Spanish or French is a plus.
  • A valid EU Class B driver's licence is a plus. The role requires regular business travel, estimated at around 30% of the time.

Fit to Our Values

  • We Own Every Challenge: we enjoy complexity and thrive under uncertainty.
  • We Strive for Better: we seize any opportunity for growth and challenge the status quo. We are constantly learning and improving.
  • We Imagine New Frontiers: we think beyond “doable” and “reasonable”. We design a sustainable and healthy future together.

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Background in hardware, manufacturing, medtech, or deep-tech.
  • Industry knowledge across medical, fresh produce, or industrial supply chains, with an existing network of vendors and logistics providers.
  • Experience scaling operations in international markets.

The candidate

  • Own and manage the end-to-end supply chain for goods and services across our international markets, including supplier onboarding, equipment ordering, delivery management, warehousing, goods inspection, and service provider commissioning.
  • Coordinate logistics including last-mile transportation, import and export procedures, customs and tariffs, and all related documentation to ensure compliance and avoid delays. Be ready to get hands-on at customer sites when needed.
  • Assess supply chain inefficiencies, implement corrective measures, and drive continuous process improvements that support our scaling.
  • Support procurement across make-or-buy decisions, contract creation and management, vendor management for hardware, software and services, and R&D component change requests via Jira.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Field Ops, BD, Customer Support, and R&D to keep operations running and improve how we work together.
  • Consolidate data from multiple sources, build clean reporting structures, and automate where possible. We're scaling this function and need someone who can grow with it.
