The role

We’re hiring an Operations Associate to join a small, high-impact operations team. Reporting to the Operations Lead, you’ll take ownership of key supply-chain processes — from inventory management and marketplace replenishment to freight coordination — ensuring products move smoothly from factory to customer across multiple markets.

 

Key responsibilities

  • End-to-end inventory management across global 3PLs.
  • Coordinate freight and shipping from China, optimising cost and delivery performance.
  • Manage marketplace and D2C replenishment (Amazon, TikTok Shop and others).
  • Collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to ensure accurate stock, reporting and documentation.
  • Lead implementation and optimisation of the inventory management system as the single source of truth for stock and COGS.
  • Identify and implement automation and process improvements using tools like Zapier, Google Sheets and Asana.
  • Support forecasting, demand planning and stock visibility across markets.
  • Partner with Sales, Marketing and Finance to align inventory with growth plans.

What success looks like (6–12 months)

  • Full ownership of end-to-end supply chain operations.
  • Inventory system implemented and optimised as the operational backbone.
  • Automated, reliable reporting across 3PLs and suppliers.
  • Clear efficiency gains in freight, replenishment and communications.
  • Proactive identification and resolution of operational bottlenecks.

 

Skills & experience

Essential

  • 1–3 years’ experience in operations or supply chain within eCommerce or consumer goods.
  • Solid understanding of physical operations: freight, customs, inventory and stock movement.
  • Process-driven, with a focus on optimisation and automation.
  • Strong communicator, comfortable coordinating across teams and external partners.
  • Data-literate and confident in Google Sheets and basic reporting.

Desirable

  • Experience with inventory management platforms (e.g., TradePeg or similar).
  • Exposure to Amazon FBA, TikTok Shop or other D2C marketplaces.
  • Familiarity with Notion, Slack and Asana.
  • Experience working with China-based suppliers and international 3PLs.

 

Why join

  • Fast-moving, high-growth environment with real ownership and visible impact.
  • Autonomy: manage projects end-to-end in a lean team.
  • Collaborative, creative culture that values speed, ambition and doing the work.
