Job description

The Opportunity

We are looking for a hands-on Supply Chain Manager to take ownership of our US retail supply chain. Based in the UK but working US hours, you will manage the flow of products from Asia and the UK into the US market, overseeing 3PL partners, ensuring smooth retailer supply, and supporting our ambitious launch schedule.

This is a unique chance to work directly with some of the biggest names in US retail and help shape the business's international supply chain operations as we continue to expand across North America.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage day-to-day supply chain operations for the US market, including purchase orders, stock forecasting, and inventory management.
• Act as the primary supply chain contact for Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, and future retail partners.
• Coordinate product flow from Asia (China/Thailand) and the UK to US warehouses and retailers.
• Oversee 3PL operations and ensure on-time delivery to major retailers.
• Support new product launches (including upcoming high-profile partnerships) and manage retailer onboarding for new listings.
• Work closely with the wider operations team in the UK and consult with our US-based colleagues.
• Troubleshoot and problem-solve in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment — sometimes requiring flexibility to work weekends when shipments land.
• Report directly into the Head of Supply Chain, with visibility across the leadership team.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong supply chain/operations experience in a retail or FMCG environment
• Proven experience managing supply to major US retailers — especially Walmart and Target.
• Confidence working across time zones and willingness to align with US business hours.
• Hands-on, proactive approach — comfortable rolling up your sleeves in a scaling business.
• Experience with 3PL management and international supply chain flows.
• Strong administrative and organisational skills with attention to detail.
• Flexibility and adaptability to thrive in a high-growth, dynamic environment.
