Your time will be split evenly across supplier coordination, purchase ordering, inbound logistics, and inventory tracking.

* Negotiate best-in-market pricing and commercial terms that support sustainability and profitability goals.

* Identify and flag inventory risks (e.g., OOS events, slow movers, delivery delays) before they impact customer experience.
* Work closely with Marketing, Customer Service, Risk and Tech to support product launches, pricing changes and category improvements.
* Contribute ideas to streamline and improve how we buy, track and coordinate product supply, particularly across refurbished and circular categories.
You’ll Succeed With
* 2+ years of experience in a buying, procurement, or supply chain operations role, ideally in consumer tech, eCommerce, or FMCG.
* Strong commercial acumen and confidence managing pricing, PO accuracy, and stock forecasts with suppliers and logistics partners.
* Excellent communication skills and ability to manage multiple stakeholder relationships with professionalism and pace.
* Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, basic formulas for tracking cost and stock).
* Exceptional time management, attention to detail and a proactive approach to managing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
* A degree in Business, Supply Chain, Economics, or a related field.
* (Bonus) Experience in a startup or fast-paced environment, or exposure to reverse logistics, refurbishment, or circular product categories.
