At Bookspeed we’re on a mission to put more books into the world, and we’re looking for a Product & Inventory Manager to help us do that.

We are a fun, creative, customer-focused books wholesaler, curating and supplying gorgeous book ranges for an exciting mix of retailers. Our customers include quirky owner-led boutiques and well-known brands, such as Oliver Bonas and Moonpig, as well as independent farm shops, garden centres and many of the UK’s leading heritage sites and attractions, such as the National Trust and the Natural History Museum.

We also work hard to make Bookspeed the best place to work, placing an emphasis on wellbeing, inclusion, flexible working and fun.

The role

We’re looking for an experienced Product & Inventory Manager to join the Bookspeed management team. This is a newly created role and an exciting opportunity to lead an experienced team, developing, optimising and implementing new systems and processes.

Reporting to the PRD, you’ll lead our Stock Control and Bibliographic Data teams, with responsibility for supplier relationships, inventory management and the quality and timely integration of product data.

You’ll work closely with Warehouse, Finance, Sales and external providers to ensure we have the right stock available at the right time, maintaining excellent product data.

As part of the management team, you’ll also play an important role in delivering Bookspeed’s wider strategic objectives and supporting a positive, collaborative working environment.

What you will do

Lead, motivate and develop your team, setting clear objectives and supporting individual development
Identify and implement improvements to systems, processes and ways of working
Take overall accountability for operational supplier relationships, working closely with the teams ensuring an excellent experience for all suppliers and customers
Take a hands-on approach to supporting the Bibliographic Data team, ensuring the provision of cover or assistance when required
Oversee stock ordering and inventory processes, balancing availability, commercial terms, budget and capacity
Work closely with warehouse to ensure the efficient receipt and management of stock
Oversee the timely supply, integration and quality of new product data
Ensure the team maintains accurate, high-quality product data for Bookspeed and its customers
Work collaboratively with colleagues across the business to deliver Bookspeed’s strategy

What we’re looking for

Essential

Proven experience leading, motivating and developing a team.
Experience managing accurate, high-quality product or business data.
Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
Excellent organisation, planning and attention to detail.
Clear communication and strong relationship-building skills.
A commercial and continuous-improvement mindset.

Desirable

Experience in inventory, purchasing or operational management.
Experience managing suppliers and stakeholders.
Experience identifying and delivering process improvements and efficiencies.
Experience within the UK publishing or bookselling industry.

Working pattern

This is a permanent, full-time position, working Monday to Friday for 37.5 hours per week.

We offer flexible working, with working hours falling between 8:00am and 6:00pm.

How to apply

Please submit an online application via Indeed OR send a copy of your CV with a brief covering note to [email protected] by Friday, 11 September.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted and invited to an initial interview. Thereafter, successful candidates will then progress to a second-round interview. If you haven’t heard from us within two weeks once the advert is closed, unfortunately your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.

We believe diverse workforces make successful working environments, but research has shown that some people from under-represented backgrounds won’t apply for jobs if they feel they don’t tick every box. If you think that might be you and you’d like to work for us, we encourage you to apply.

Furthermore, we want to make applying for our vacancies accessible to all. If you need support to complete your application, please email with your request to [email protected].

If we receive a high volume of strong applications, we may close this vacancy early, so early applications are encouraged.

Pay: £42,000.00 per year
