About Circulose

Circulose is a company revolutionizing the fashion and textile industry with its innovative material, CIRCULOSE®. Designed to tackle the pressing issue of textile waste, CIRCULOSE® is made by recovering cellulose from discarded textiles, offering an alternative to traditional raw materials like cotton, oil, and wood.

We’re scaling fast, expanding globally, and making real impact. To do that, we need sharp, structured minds who can turn data into actionable insights and help us deliver value consistently, from the first brand conversation to full value chain activation.

The Opportunity

As Feedstock & Logistics Lead, you are responsible for leading factory-level logistics and feedstock operations at Ortviken, ensuring reliable material flow, strong supplier performance, and operational stability in a dynamic and constantly evolving environment.

You are the primary operational voice of logistics at the factory. You translate on-the-ground realities into structured insights, quantified risks, and actionable improvements, exercising clear decision authority at factory level to safeguard production continuity and feedstock quality while partnering closely with the strategic supply chain team.

This is a hands-on, on-site role based at Circulose’s factory in Sundsvall (Ortviken). It combines desk-based planning with daily presence in warehouse and production areas. Remote work is not compatible with the nature of this role.

This is a role for someone who thrives in high-change environments. Our supply chain is scaling and still maturing, which means ambiguity, gaps, and occasional chaos. We are looking for someone who rolls up their sleeves, brings structure where it’s missing, and turns operational challenges into sustainable solutions.

The position reports to the Head of Feedstock & Logistics (Executive Management Team).

What a Day (or Week) in This Role Looks Like

This role is hands-on and close to operations. On any given day, you might:

• Review material availability and production needs, adjusting plans when reality shifts

• Spend time on the warehouse floor validating flows and solving bottlenecks

• Work with production and lab teams to monitor feedstock quality and address deviations

• Engage suppliers directly to resolve delivery or quality issues and drive corrective actions

No two days are the same, but your focus remains constant: keeping materials flowing, risks visible, and operations stable.
