• Track and report on stock levels, inbound shipments, profitability trends and supplier performance.
• 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

• 1+ 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.
