Join Our Team as an Operations Coordinator

We are looking for a highly numerate and analytically minded Operations Coordinator to join our growing operations team. Reporting directly to the Supply Chain Manager, you will take ownership of a range of key operational tasks spanning order processing, purchasing, outbound planning and financial administration. This is a hands-on, detail-focused role that sits at the heart of our day-to-day operations and requires someone who is comfortable working with data, systems and cross-functional teams.

Purchasing & Inbound Logistics
- Conducting steady-state and NPD purchase reviews, monitoring stock levels and supplier performance.
- Arranging inbound freight and sea/airfreight shipments, including chasing and follow-ups with suppliers and forwarders.
Systems & Data

- Organisation: The ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines simultaneously without dropping the ball.
- Communication: Confident and clear when liaising with internal teams and external suppliers.
- Systems: Proficient in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and comfortable learning new platforms quickly.
