You will be a key player in preparing our processes and systems to handle the 20x growth we expect, while maintaining our high standards for stock availability, demand planning, and supplier relationships. Your role will ensure that we meet market demand without excess inventory or shortages. You will collaborate closely with internal teams, suppliers, and logistics partners to keep everything running smoothly.

• Supplier & Vendor Relationships: Work with suppliers to ensure stock availability, smooth processes, and optimal performance.
• Replenishment Network: Build out the processes and network to onboard new suppliers, ensuring scalability in inventory management.
• Process Improvement: Continuously improve processes, focusing on increasing efficiency and reducing lead times.
• Collaborate across departments: Work with sales, marketing, and logistics teams to ensure smooth operations and efficient demand-supply alignment.

What Our Ideal Hire Looks Like:

• Location: Must be based in London - Hybrid 3+ days in office.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in supply chain management, sourcing, or demand planning, preferably within a D2C eCommerce or retail environment.
• Analytical & Data-Driven: Strong analytical skills with a proven ability to forecast demand, manage inventory, and optimise supply chain processes.
• Problem Solver: You thrive in environments that require flexibility and creative solutions to operational challenges.
• Collaboration Skills: Experience working cross-functionally with teams to ensure alignment and success across departments.
