Up to £90,000

Please note: UK only. No sponsorship available.

THE COMPANY:

A high-growth, mission-led business in the circular economy. They're data-heavy, operationally complex, and scale fast across global markets. Tech, logistics, and sustainability all collide here — and analytics is at the heart of how they drive margin, reduce waste, and serve customers better.

THE ROLE:

• This is a hands-on Lead Operations Analyst role driving operational efficiency and supply chain optimisation. You’ll own analytics across stock, fulfilment, supplier performance and logistics — identifying where costs can be cut and performance scaled.
• You’ll run experiments, automate reporting, and support decision-making across fulfilment and supply. There’s also scope to specialise more on either supply-side or demand-side data depending on where you want to take your career.
• You’ll also mentor a junior analyst and play a key role in shaping how data’s used across ops.

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Strong experience in operations, supply chain or inventory analytics
• Confident designing and analysing A/B tests
• Tech stack: SQL, Python, Tableau (or similar)
• Clear communicator, able to translate analysis for stakeholders across the business
• Some experience managing or mentoring analysts
• Proactive mindset — commercially curious and not afraid to challenge the status quo

WHY APPLY?

• Join a data-first business with real mission and scale
• Work with smart people who care about the customer and the planet
• Own high-impact analytics across global supply chain operations
• Career progression + flexibility to shape your remit
