You’ll also have regular, exciting interactions with our international traders, adding to the global flair of your role.

The International Food Connectors office currently has 30 colleagues spread across the departments of Trading, Logistics, HR, and Finance. With team members from diverse countries like Vietnam, China, Colombia, Spain, France, and Argentina, you’ll be part of a truly multicultural environment where English is the go-to language. This global, energetic vibe is what makes our workplace so special.

Our office is in a prime location in Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid, near the Erasmus Bridge. It has recently been expanded and offers plenty of space, comfortable workplaces, and opportunities to relax. The tram and metro stop right at the door, and there are various coffee bars, lunch spots, and supermarkets nearby.

**Our offer**
- A gross monthly salary of € 2,500 - € 3,500 (based on 40 hours), depending on your knowledge and experience + 8% holiday allowance
- Annual bonus up to 15%. This is 50% based on your performance and 50% on company results
- 25 holidays (based on 40 hours)
- Definite contract with the prospect of a permanent position
- Commuting allowance: € 0,23 per kilometer, or full reimbursement for second-class public transport
- Good pension benefits at a.s.r.
- A fulltime position where we work daily at our beautiful, recently renovated office in Rotterdam (Kop van Zuid)

- Excellent command of English. Good command of Dutch is a plus.
- Secondary vocational education (e.g. STC, or Transport & Logistics)
- Experience or affinity with logistics and international trade

Other competencies that fit this job are perseverance, the ability to prioritize, and customer focus.

**We would love to hear from you**
