Job description

Supply Chain & Distribution Coordinator

We are partnering with a well-established, fashion-led footwear retailer renowned for its trend-driven collections and premium high street presence. With an exciting portfolio of both own-brand and globally recognised footwear brands, the business continues to grow and is looking for a supply chain & distribution coordinator to join its collaborative head office team in Old Street, London.

Reporting to the head of supply chain & distribution, you will play a key role in ensuring the smooth flow of goods from suppliers to warehouses and ultimately to stores, wholesale partners and e-commerce customers. Responsibilities include coordinating import shipments, liaising with freight forwarders, managing customs documentation and HMRC compliance, monitoring deliveries, maintaining shipment tracking, supporting stock integrity, resolving logistics issues, and building strong relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders. You will also support store openings and closures, oversee delivery queries and claims, and provide operational support across the wider supply chain and distribution function.

To be successful, you will have 2–3 years' experience within supply chain, logistics or distribution, with a solid understanding of import and export customs procedures and experience working with freight forwarders. You will possess strong Excel skills, exceptional attention to detail, excellent organisational and problem-solving abilities, and the confidence to communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels. A proactive approach, the ability to manage multiple priorities, and a willingness to work independently are essential.

In return, you'll receive a salary of up to £35,000, a flexible working pattern with four days in the office and start times between 8am and 10am, a company pension, increasing annual leave with service, generous staff discounts, learning and development opportunities, free breakfasts, and regular social and team-building events. This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic retail business where you'll play an integral role in supporting its end-to-end supply chain operations.
