Full job description

Buying Admin Assistant

Location: BOXRAW HQ, Coventry

Type: Full-time

Department: Commercial & Product

Reporting to: Commercial Director

ABOUT US

Founded in 2017, BOXRAW is focused on leading the narrative of boxing, by creating a brand that encompasses the lifestyle, culture and competition of our sport. We're driving boxing forwards, by delivering innovative, credible and disruptive products.

THE ROLE

Every glove, every tee, every tracksuit BOXRAW ships starts life as a line on a plan. Hundreds of them a season. Each one needs a purchase order, a SKU, a barcode, a cost price, a delivery date. Accurate, on time, all in one place.

This is the engine room of the brand. Nothing reaches the website without coming through here first. Get it right, the season lands on schedule. Get it wrong, stock sits in a factory while the campaign runs without it.

You'll run that engine. Raising POs. Building product data. Keeping the line plan current. Chasing suppliers until they come back. Matching invoices to the penny. The call on what we buy is made elsewhere. Your job is making sure that once it's made, nothing behind it slips, stalls or gets lost.

THE STANDARD

Every purchase order raised, issued and tracked accurately, with nothing sitting waiting on somebody's desk
Product data that's right first time: SKUs, barcodes, costs and attributes clean enough that nobody downstream has to check them

HOW YOU'LL WORK

The Commercial Director owns: what we buy, how much, from whom, at what cost, and when it goes on sale.
You own: the purchase orders, the product data, the line plan upkeep, the supplier chase, and the delivery and invoice paperwork behind all of it.

MAIN ACCOUNTABILITIES

Purchase orders

Raise POs from signed-off quantities and issue them to suppliers
Chase order acknowledgements and confirmed factory dates
Log every PO with its cost price and factory date within 24 hours of placement
Run each PO through our internal buying system end to end, from raising it through to confirming the invoice and the payment

Product data, SKUs and barcodes

Create SKUs and allocate barcodes, applying the naming convention every time and catching duplicates before they reach a garment
Set new products up in the line plan with every field completed: category, type, gender, size count, launch month
Maintain the product database: cost prices, composition, weights and dimensions, HS codes, care labelling, country of origin
Keep product data clean and consistent across our internal systems, our website and the 3PL

Critical path and deliveries

Track sample dates, approvals, factory dates and delivery dates, and chase suppliers for updates
Flag anything slipping early, with a name and a date attached
Delivery paperwork: ASNs, packing lists, and any discrepancy between what was ordered and what arrived

Retailer orders

Raise and administer retailer purchase orders and the paperwork behind them
Issue order requests, chase responses and consolidate them

Invoices

Match supplier proformas and invoices against the PO and the goods received, and flag every variance
Pass clean, coded documents through to Finance

Reporting

Pull the weekly status report: POs raised, deliveries due, anything late, anything missing data

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Every PO logged with its cost price and factory date within 24 hours of placement
POs reach suppliers within five working days of sign-off
No duplicate or missing barcodes reach the 3PL
No product sits in the line plan with fields missing
Every supplier invoice matched to its PO and delivery before it reaches Finance
The weekly status report lands on time, every week, without being chased

KEY SKILLS

Obsessive accuracy. Hundreds of rows, dozens of live orders, and no tolerance for a wrong barcode or a mistyped cost. You check your own work before anyone else has to.
Strong Excel. Lookups, filters, pivot tables, and the discipline not to break a formula-driven workbook. No VBA needed.
You chase. Suppliers go quiet and invoices don't arrive. You follow up a fourth time without being reminded, and you escalate when following up stops working.
Clear written English. Short, specific supplier emails, and status updates someone can act on without ringing you.
Comfortable in systems. You'll work across our internal buying system, Shopify and Excel every day.
Right to work in the UK and happy to be at HQ in Coventry five days a week.

EXPERIENCE

Useful, not essential:

Merchandise admin assistant, allocator, buying admin or supply chain admin in apparel, footwear or consumer goods
Critical path management and supplier chasing
Barcode and GTIN allocation, PLM, or product data management
Shopify, or any ERP or WMS
The basics of importing: incoterms, HS codes, freight paperwork

We're open on experience level. A strong administrator who is obsessive about detail beats someone with three years in buying who isn't.

TRAITS THAT WIN AT BOXRAW

Obsessive ownership: you treat the data like your name is on it
Pride in craft: you care about the details nobody else checks
Workhorse energy: consistent output, consistent standards, no drama
Take ownership of your work, relentlessly pursue mastery
Speak your mind with confidence, value transparency
Approach every challenge with a 'Find A Way' mentality
Embrace the dynamic energy of start-up life

BENEFITS

Private healthcare (UK only)
Meaningful equity via growth Employee Share Option Pool
33 days annual leave, inclusive of bank holidays
Quarterly staff gear allowance
50% friends & family discount
Weekly team boxing
