About the role

We are looking for an ambitious and highly-motivated Operations Manager. You will be responsible for all our operations/supply chain elements in the UK, as well developing and optimizing how we supply Ireland. The role includes managing the in-house operations team, demand planning, procurement, inventory management, and 3PL logistics.

• Establish and optimize operations, ensuring efficiency in demand planning, procurement, and logistics to support business growth.
• Manage inventory, striking the right balance between availability and minimizing waste to drive cost-effective operations.
• Oversee 3PL partnerships, ensuring service excellence, cost efficiency, and strong collaboration with logistics providers.
• Enhance customer service and supply chain processes, ensuring smooth order handling, on-time delivery, and high service levels.
• Support cross-functional teams, contributing operational insights and process improvements to sales, marketing, and finance.
• Own the operations budget, making data-driven, cost-effective decisions to support sustainable growth.

What We Are Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in operations, supply chain, logistics, or demand planning
• Proven ability to take ownership and lead—whether through direct leadership experience or by driving operational improvements with cross-functional teams
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to improve processes
• Experience working with ERP systems, demand planning tools, and logistics partners
• A structured and hands-on approach, with a focus on execution and results

Why Join Us?

• The opportunity to establish and shape operations in a fast-growing market
• A dynamic and entrepreneurial company where decisions are made quickly
• A collaborative and informal workplace with cross-functional teamwork
• Competitive salary and benefits
