About Nabu Casa

Nabu Casa is the organisation behind Home Assistant the worlds largest free and open-source smart home platform used by over two million households. We were founded to ensure the projects sustainability and in 2024 we partnered with the Open Home Foundation to protect and promote a wide range of open-source initiatives. Our guiding principlesprivacy choice and sustainabilityare embedded in everything we do from our architecture to our community.

We are a profitable company with no external investors. Our funding comes directly from users who subscribe to Home Assistant Cloud and purchase Home Assistant hardware ensuring our only stakeholders are our employees and our users. We also support other open-source projects including those focused on hardware standards and voice technology.

The Role

Nabu Casa is looking for a Supply Chain Coordinator to own the flow of our hardware products from manufacturers to distributors and ultimately to the homes of the people running Home Assistant.

As the official provider of Home Assistant hardware we ship to a passionate global community and this role is central to keeping that operation running reliably. Youll own the day-to-day: purchase orders manufacturer coordination logistics distributor support inventory and RMA handling and youll be the person who turns how we do these things into documented repeatable processes.

As part of our continued commercial growth we are expanding the Commercial team with several key hires that will help shape the next phase of Nabu Casas global operations and partner ecosystem. This role will play an important part in supporting and scaling our international hardware operations across regions and distribution channels.

Were hiring because were growing fast and need someone to take full ownership so the work scales with us. Youll have real autonomy from day one: if a shipment is delayed a distributor has an urgent issue or stock needs to be allocated across regions you take it and drive it to resolution.

Youll work closely with our Global Channel Manager Hardware team and Finance team and directly with manufacturers distributors and logistics partners. Youll be part of the Commercial team and report to our VP Commercial based in Norway.

Why this role and why now

• Youll own a function not a queue. This is a step up for someone who has coordinated logistics or supply chain inside a more structured company and is ready to run the whole thing themselves. Success looks like the supply chain operating well without anyone above you in the daily detail.

• Youll build the structure not just maintain it. Were small and deliberately light on process. Youll bring the good practices youve seen elsewhere document them as SOPs and shape how this function works as the company scales.

• Its operational and strategic. Beyond running the day-to-day youll analyse forecast data to decide when and how much to order and use modern tools including AI-assisted workflows to do it well.

• AI works for you here. We invest in AI to support our people not replace them.

• Stable and mission-driven. Profitable no investors funded by the community we serve. Youre building something that lands in millions of real homes.
  

What youll do

• Own the end-to-end flow of hardware products from manufacturers to distributors across multiple regions

• Place and manage manufacturer purchase orders and track them through to delivery

• Coordinate directly with manufacturers on lead times production schedules shipment planning and day-to-day issues

• Support distributors with back-office tasks: order coordination delivery updates and issue resolution

• Manage order flow inventory updates and data in NetSuite

• Handle partial deliveries stock allocation decisions and inventory coordination across regions

• Coordinate global logistics with freight forwarders and logistics partners

• Run the RMA process end to end including coordination root-cause tracking and reconciliation with manufacturers

• Analyse forecast data and inventory levels to support purchasing decisions on when and how much to order

• Create and maintain standard operating procedures and supply chain documentation

• Identify bottlenecks and continuously improve the supply chain as the company scales

• Work cross-functionally with the Hardware Commercial and Finance teams to keep everything aligned
  

What you need to have

• 4 years in supply chain logistics purchasing or operations with direct hands-on ownership of the work

• Direct experience coordinating with manufacturers placing and managing purchase orders and working with them on lead times and production schedules. Experience with factories in China (or elsewhere in Asia) is strongly preferred

• Cultural fluency communicating with international manufacturing partners particularly in Asia you understand professional norms and know when directness or informality is and isnt appropriate

• A practical grasp of inventory management stock allocation and partial deliveries youve solved these problems for real not just in theory

• Experience coordinating international shipments and logistics

• Experience with an ERP system (NetSuite SAP Odoo or similar) and confidence placing POs and managing deliveries within one

• A track record of bringing structure: documenting processes writing SOPs and improving workflows ideally drawn from a company that already had solid supply chain practices you can adapt for us

• The ability to operate independently with minimal structure and high ownership in a fast-moving environment

• An analytical mindset comfortable using reporting and forecast data to drive decisions

• Strong organisational problem-solving and communication skills

It would be great if you also have

• Specific experience with NetSuite

• Experience in hardware consumer electronics or e-commerce operations (e-commerce is a great fit if youve had direct contact with manufacturers)

• Familiarity with AI tools and automation workflows

• Experience supporting distributor or channel operations

• Personal experience using Home Assistant and an affinity with open-source community-driven products
