• Oversee the physical and systemic movement of stock between global warehouses, brands, and sales channels (D2C, wholesale, and marketplaces).
• Monitor and investigate stock variances across all trading locations; escalate discrepancies promptly and work towards root cause resolutions.
• Support fulfilment operations and logistics functions including picking, packing, and dispatches, particularly across complex retail and D2C journeys.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external logistics providers to ensure timely and accurate stock dispatches to partners.
• Maintain and update WMS and other stock management systems, ensuring accurate documentation of all stock movements and transactions.
• Visit warehouse locations (UK, US) as required to support audits and build 3PL relationships (approx. once a month in the UK).
• Assist with wider day-to-day operational and logistics tasks as needed.

Skills & Experience Required

• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, data cleansing, reporting).
• Strong experience working with WMS systems and high stock volumes across multiple locations or marketplaces.
• Background in retail, eCommerce, or logistics with knowledge of both D2C and wholesale operations.
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage and analyse large data sets.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills - able to work cross-functionally with internal teams, brand partners, and external 3PLs.
• Confident working both independently and within a collaborative team structure.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, multi-brand environment and capable of switching between detailed tasks and big-picture thinking.
