Collaborating with our QA and procurement team, you'll design and establish Tony's Supplier assessment program, as well as handle the onboarding of new suppliers.

• Document the approval process for Tony’s suppliers according to ISO 22000/FSSC 22000 Standards
• Set up and run the new supplier onboarding process in partnership with our procurement team and other internal stakeholders
• Conduct the quality supplier assessments to evaluate suppliers’ food safety and quality systems and their ability to meet our quality and food safety standards and applicable regulations.

The ideal candidate:

• Relevant work experience in conducting supplier audits and managing quality & food safety standards with suppliers.
• In-depth knowledge of relevant regulations and GFSI standards, such as FSSC 22000/BRC/IFS
• Bachelor’s or master's degree in food or a related field.
• Strong project management skills, with experience in developing and implementing Quality Supplier Approval policies and procedures.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Ability to commute to our Amsterdam office on a weekly basis and to travel internationally up to 30% of your time.
• Raise the bar. Challenge yourself and team Tony’s to increase our ambition and to accomplish our mission. Make mistakes along the way and learn from them.
• Believe wholeheartedly in Tony’s mission. You live our core values: outspoken, wilful, entrepreneurial and makes you smile.
• Last but not least, you can deal smoothly with the challenges that come with a growing company, and positively contribute to team Tony's performance.
