Job description

Our client is a global leader in the outdoor cooking industry, known for high-performance products and a culture that prioritises innovation. As they continue to expand across Europe, they need a German-speaking Operations Specialist to take full ownership of the supply chain and retail performance within the DACH region. This is a role for someone who enjoys the mechanics of a business. You won’t just be processing orders; you will be the operational backbone for the German market, ensuring that the supply chain is as refined as the products themselves.

Key Responsibilities

• Working closely with the sales team to set up new accounts and build performance measurement systems that can scale as the territory grows.

Who You Are

You are likely someone who finds satisfaction in a well-organised spreadsheet and a seamless logistics flow. You’ll need to be fluent in German and English, with the ability to switch between the two effortlessly. We are looking for a professional who is reliable and detail-oriented but also comfortable pivoting when market demands change unexpectedly.

Essential Skills

• Experience: 1-2 years in Sales Ops, Supply Chain, or Logistics (Retail background is a significant plus).
• Strong Excel skills are essential, specifically Pivot Tables and Power Query.
• Ability to build genuine rapport with international vendors and internal teams.
• Degree in Business, Logistics, or a related field.

• A hybrid model based in a vibrant Bournemouth office, supported by an "unlimited” holidays policy.
• Enhanced parental leave and a culture that actively champions diversity and inclusion.
• A generous bonus scheme, pension, and your own premium outdoor oven to enjoy the lifestyle the brand promotes.
