What we're looking for

Experience in stock planning, merchandising, buying or supply chain in a product-led business

Confidence handling replenishment, supplier communication and stock tracking

Commercial awareness around stock, service level, margin and cash implications

Comfortable working at pace in a scale-up or founder-led environment
