We are seeking an ambitious and analytical Logistics Operations specialist for a broad logistics/distribution/supply chain related role with this leading European business.

This is a key operational position, ideal for someone looking to develop and progress their logistics career across a wide skill set including demand planning, materials handling, materials planning, logistics operations, European high-volume distribution, Customer support/Service, and e-commerce.

You will play a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient supply, storage, and movement of goods, supporting customer order fulfillment, and driving continuous improvement across planning (demand and materials planning) and logistics processes. You'll work closely with suppliers, freight forwarders, internal stakeholders, and 3PL partners, focusing on high-volume e-commerce environments and fast-growth distribution channels across the UK and EU.

Key Responsibilities

Demand & Supply Planning

• Maintain accurate forecasts across key categories, collaborating with sales and account teams to validate pipelines.
• Monitor seasonal demand patterns and new client onboarding to ensure forward-looking materials availability.
• Analyse and respond to exception reports such as forecast errors and inventory constraints.

Logistics & Distribution Operations

• Coordinate inbound logistics with freight providers and 3PL partners to optimize delivery timelines and costs.
• Prioritize inbound shipments to align with customer demand and reduce storage costs at ports.
• Support logistics execution and ensure clear visibility of inbound stock via ERP systems.

Stock & Inventory Management

• Develop stock plans to support client demand, seasonal peaks, and promotional activities.
• Manage purchase orders from creation through goods receipt, ensuring accurate ERP system updates.
• Monitor inventory health, including slow movers, shortages, and obsolescence risks.

Systems & Data Analysis

• Leverage ERP systems (Infor LN preferred) to run MRP and generate data-driven purchasing and stocking decisions.
• Use Excel and data tools to conduct supply chain performance analysis (pivot tables, lookups, trend analysis).
• Participate in S&OP cycles and contribute actionable insights from data analytics.

Requirements

• Experience in logistics, distribution, or supply chain operations, ideally within a high-growth or high-volume e-commerce environment.
• Strong familiarity and experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Netsuite, Odoo, Dynamics, etc.).
• Data analysis or Data Insight skills to support customer success/support, reporting, inventory/demand, and materials planning aspects of this role.
• Exposure to materials planning and inventory control, including forecasting and order execution.
• Familiarity with UK and EU logistics networks.
• Customer service experience within a supply chain or logistics setting.
• Background in automotive, industrial manufacturing (electronics, devices, machinery, tools, fasteners, etc.), or high-volume consumer goods (B2B preferred).
• E-commerce experience working across multi-channel retail or digital platforms.
• Experience with Infor LN, Magento, or Zoho is useful but not essential.
• Italian language skills are desirable due to the warehouse being based in Italy.
