The Role |
This is a hands-on coordination role sitting at the centre of the business's logistics, inventory and order fulfilment function, supporting the seamless movement of product from international suppliers and factories through to warehouse and ultimately wholesale and retail customers.
Highly cross-functional, you will communicate daily with overseas suppliers, factories and logistics partners, while partnering internally with Sales, Merchandising, Finance and Warehouse teams to keep production, shipments and customer orders moving according to plan.

Monitoring KPIs including OTIF, freight costs, inventory accuracy and lead times
Using Excel and reporting tools to improve visibility across the supply chain

Supporting continuous improvement across warehouse, distribution and wider supply chain operations.
This is an opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys the operational detail of logistics and takes pride in keeping multiple moving parts organised, accurate and on schedule.
The Skillset |
You will be an experienced and highly organised logistics, supply chain or operations professional who understands the pace and complexity of moving product within a fashion, apparel, retail or wholesale environment.

You will ideally bring:
3+ years' experience within logistics, supply chain or operations coordination
Previous experience within fashion, apparel, retail or wholesale environments
Strong knowledge of international freight, shipping and import/export processes
Experience coordinating sea and air freight and working with freight forwarders and customs brokers
