Support product improvement projects and oversee compliance activities via the team. Implement process improvements and help integrate new systems/AI tools. Maintain strong commercial awareness and support strategic decision-making.

What We're Looking For

Experience in supply chain, purchasing, logistics, or demand planning. Strong analytical skills with excellent Excel ability. Experience using ERP/forecasting/WMS systems (Orderwise/StockIQ beneficial but similar systems welcome). Confident communicator with people management experience. Highly organised, proactive, and able to work in a fast-paced environment. Openness to adopting new technologies and supporting continuous improvement. Attention to detail is a must in this role.

The role is full time - starting between 8.00am and 9.30am, and finish between 4.00pm and 5.30pm (37.5 hours per week with 30 minutes or 1 hour for lunch), and you will be based at our modern offices near York (YO60 6PG) 5 days a week, so having your own transport is essential.
