About Pet Brands

At Pet Brands we design, develop, and supply high-quality pet products across the UK and internationally. Our success is built on innovation, reliability, and excellent customer service. We are looking for a proactive Operations Administrator to join our busy operations team and help ensure smooth day-to-day processes across order management, logistics, and customer support.

The Role

As an Operations Administrator, you'll be a vital bridge between account managers, customers, the warehouse, and transport partners, making sure orders flow smoothly from start to finish. You'll process orders accurately, coordinate deliveries, and ensure our customers receive the highest level of service.

Day-to-day, you'll balance and respond to the demands of account managers, handle queries from customers directly, work with the warehouse to prepare shipments, and liaise with couriers and hauliers to arrange transport. This means you'll need to prioritise effectively, keep communication clear, and adapt quickly when plans change.

The role is fast-paced and varied, requiring strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once. You'll often need to think on your feet, solving problems such as delivery delays, stock queries, or urgent last-minute changes. It's a hands-on, detail-focused position where your accuracy and communication skills will make a real difference to the smooth running of our operations and the service we deliver.
