We’re seeking a Supply Chain Analyst to join our team and help shape the future of our brand.

What You’ll Do

• Own SKU-level landed-cost accounting across the UK, US and EU, capturing the full cost of each product from ex-factory price to tariffs, duties and freight
• Identify, reconcile and explain purchase price, freight and duty variances against standard costs, and forecast their P&L impact
• Review and update SKU standard costs annually so variances are minimised and inventory values stay accurate
• Keep inventory quantities and values accurate across freight-forwarder warehouses in Asia, goods in transit, our UK warehouse and our US and EU 3PLs
• Flag slow-moving and obsolete stock, assess provisions with Inventory Planning and Merchandising, and help maximise recovery on end-of-life inventory
• Check that inventory processes such as cycle counts, returns and samples work as intended, and identify shrinkage, discrepancies and losses
• Prepare and analyse the monthly warehouse and distribution P&L, and support budgets and forecasts built on volume, product mix, order size, labour and capacity
• Build dashboards and KPIs covering cost per order, unit and shipment, labour cost, capacity utilisation and wider cost-to-serve
• Benchmark our own warehouse against 3PL operations and support decisions on capacity and automation investment
• Model key commercial decisions, from air vs sea freight and where to hold stock, to MOQs, container fill, delivery pricing and delivery frequency
• Partner with Supply Chain, Logistics, Buying and Merchandising to improve gross margin, reduce cost-to-serve and strengthen working capital
• Go beyond reporting the numbers: understand the drivers, spot opportunities and risks, and give clear recommendations on what the business should do next
• Replace manual reporting with automated, insightful dashboards wherever possible

What You’ll Bring

• CIMA qualified, newly qualified or working towards qualification
• Experience in commercial finance, supply chain finance, FP&A or a similar analytical role, ideally in consumer goods, retail, e-commerce or another product-based business
• A strong understanding of inventory accounting, standard costing and landed-cost analysis
• Experience partnering with Supply Chain, Logistics, Buying, Merchandising or Operations teams
• Strong Excel skills, with confidence handling large datasets and building robust financial models
• Solid experience of budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
• The ability to turn complex analysis into clear, commercially relevant insight
• A high level of attention to detail, plus strong communication and stakeholder-management skills
• Commercial curiosity and a real interest in how supply chains work
• Nice to have: experience of international supply chains, multiple currencies and 3PL or outsourced warehouse operations
• Nice to have: experience with ERP and inventory management systems, Power BI or similar tools, and process automation
• Nice to have: experience in a fast-growing or high-volume consumer business
