About Us
WildBounds is a Bristol-based DTC retailer specialising in outdoor and lifestyle gear and apparel – a carefully curated edit of the best products for people who live adventurously. Our sister business, Housed & Harnessed, is our UK distribution arm, representing a portfolio of innovative outdoor and lifestyle brands including Matador, Nomadix, Sunski, Crazy Creek and others.
The Role
This is a varied, hands-on role sitting across three areas of the business: logistics and operations, trade sales, and marketing. One minute you might be coordinating an inbound shipment with our freight forwarder; the next you're researching new stockist prospects, building an email campaign, or updating product content on a DTC website.
You'll work closely with our management team and external sales agents, keeping the operational engine running while also playing an active role in growing our wholesale account base. It's a role with real breadth – and as the business evolves, so will the scope of what you do.
This is a great opportunity for someone who is organised, commercially curious, and takes pride in doing things properly – and who has a genuine interest in the outdoors.
This is a full-time position, based at our Bristol office and reports directly to the Managing Director. Premises address is 13 Liberty Industrial Park, South Liberty Lane, Bristol, BS3 2SU.
