• Book sea/air freight, prepare commercial invoices and HS codes, and track shipments to our warehouse
• Chase artwork, colour proofs, and substrate approvals to keep brand guidelines on point.

• £30,000+ base salary (depending on experience) + performance bonus linked to cost savings
• 28 days of annual leave plus statutory bank holidays
