Overview
Our client, a mid-sized UK business, is undergoing a major shift from a traditional B2B model to a direct-to-consumer (D2C) operation.

* Work closely with the Head of Technology in a lean technical environment.
Essential:

* Able to work independently and communicate well with non-technical teams.
* Experience with inventory/scheduling/MRP or similar operational systems.
* Previous involvement in digital transformation projects.
