Then this is the role for you… We are a UK-based, family-run fragrance company in need of operational excellence to support our current growth.

You'll sit within a wider ecommerce team that includes a dedicated Amazon Team, an internal Commercial Director and external agency partners for both Shopify and TikTok. Directors hold senior responsibility for stock management and logistics strategy. **The day-to-day** In a nutshell - Management of day-to-day operations, documentation of process, recommending improvements, ensuring implementation actually happens. This is a hands-on role. We need someone who gets things done, not someone who advises from afar.
