About the Role
Ivyline Ltd is a proudly British, family-run wholesaler of home and garden products, trading since 1976. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Logistics & Supply Chain Coordinator to join our operations team.
This is a varied and hands-on role at the heart of our supply chain.

• Act as the primary point of contact between the business and the 3PL provider, resolving discrepancies and maintaining strong working relationships.
• Monitor inbound shipment schedules, flagging delays and proactively communicating updates to internal stakeholders.
• Ensure all stock is received, labelled, and stored in line with our agreed processes and SLAs.
Outbound Export Freight
• Manage the end-to-end process for outbound export shipments, including booking freight, preparing documentation, and liaising with freight forwarders and couriers.
• Ensure all export documentation is accurate and compliant, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin where required.
• Correctly classify all goods using the appropriate commodity (HS/tariff) codes, ensuring compliance with UK export regulations and those of destination markets.
• Stay current with changes to trade regulations, customs requirements, and international shipping rules that may affect the business.
Supplier Purchasing & Replenishment
• Place regular repeat purchase orders with existing suppliers, ensuring accuracy in quantities, pricing, and delivery schedules.
• Track open orders and follow up on outstanding deliveries, keeping internal systems up to date.
• Build and maintain positive relationships with our supplier base, escalating issues where necessary.
• Support the wider purchasing team with administrative tasks and reporting as required.

• Experience working with or alongside a 3PL provider.
• Proven ability to manage outbound international freight, including documentation preparation.
• Experience placing purchase orders and managing supplier relationships.
