• Developing and improving processes, systems and reporting
• Leading and developing a small supply chain team
• Working closely with Sales, Finance, Operations and senior leadership

This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys being close to the detail, solving problems and taking ownership rather than simply managing from a distance.

• Strong experience across inventory, purchasing and international logistics
• Experience supplying or fulfilling orders for major retailers
