Description du poste

The opportunity

Our client is a fast-growing, technology-led US manufacturer that's changing what customers expect from its industry. In just a few years they've grown from a start-up into a multi-million-pound business by putting customers first, saying \"yes\" when others say \"no\", and building their own systems driven by innovation and automation. They move quickly, take a \"challenge accepted\" approach, and are now building their team in Manchester.

Key responsibilities

• Own the dispatch schedule: know what's ready, what's due tomorrow and what's coming next, and keep a clear plan everyone can work from
• Plan around production capacity, matching manufacturing output to customer deadlines
• Weigh up timings, capacity and cost to find the most economical way to ship, including shipping early when it saves money
• Track live orders through warehouse and fulfilment systems, making sure they're picked and packed in full
• Manage warehouse capacity so nothing gets held up
• Work closely with the Transactions and Reporting teams, and coordinate with the US warehouse to keep both sides aligned

About you

• Experience in scheduling, planning or resourcing. Scheduling skills matter more than your industry
• Backgrounds in ecommerce or retail fulfilment, food and grocery supply chains, warehouse planning, media or advertising scheduling, radio scheduling or creative resource planning are all welcome
• Highly organised and detail-focused, and you notice when something doesn't add up
• Comfortable using data and systems to make decisions
• You enjoy balancing deadlines, capacity and cost, and you plan ahead rather than firefight
• A clear communicator who takes ownership and follows things through without needing to be chased
• No logistics, print or international experience needed, as full training is provided

What's on offer

• Salary of £35,000-£45,000, depending on experience
• Hybrid working: Tuesday to Thursday in a stunning city-centre Manchester office, Monday and Friday from home
• Free on-site gym membership
• Hours: 11am-7pm Monday to Thursday to overlap with the US team, and 9am-5pm on Friday
• The chance to join an ambitious, fast-growing business and help shape how dispatch planning works
