About us

Building a connected supply chain takes more than smart technology alone. It requires programmes that work in the real world across multiple customers, countries, partners and operational realities. That is exactly where Connected Load Carrier makes the difference.


From our headquarters in Den Bosch, we help organisations in retail, FMCG, logistics and pooling gain real-time insight into their supply chains by turning everyday load carriers into connected, trackable assets. But the real value lies in how these solutions are successfully rolled out, adopted and scaled across complex supply chain environments.


Connected Load Carrier is powered by the broader Bright Technology Ventures ecosystem. This means our programmes are supported by in-house hardware development and manufacturing in Europe, a global connectivity backbone, and a strong shared operational foundation. Together, this enables us to deliver reliable, scalable and end-to-end programmes, even in high-volume, international supply chains.


As we grow internationally, coordinating multiple customer programmes, aligning commercial and operational stakeholders, and building scalable rollout structures become critical. This role plays a central part in that journey -- ensuring that complex programmes are delivered predictably, customers realise value quickly, and our way of working scales with the market.


You will join a collaborative, down-to-earth organisation with short lines of communication and high ambitions. A place where structure, ownership and teamwork turn complex supply chain challenges into working, scalable solutions.

Competitive salary 50,000 - 70,000 + bonus + benefits; A role where you can make a real impact on our growth, culture, and the way we build our solutions together; Lots of room for your own initiative and creativity; Flexible/hybrid working, healthcare coverage, pension.
