Job Purpose

We’re on a mission to deliver exceptional customer experiences through operational excellence — and our Supply team plays a critical role in making that happen. We're now looking for a Supply Specialist to take full ownership of specific supply chains, driving industry-leading service levels, minimising waste, and building strong, collaborative relationships with our suppliers.

You’ll be a vital part of the Supply Planning team, working in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment where customer delight and sustainability are always front of mind.

Daily Key Duties:

• Champion Supplier Collaboration: Build and maintain effective, proactive partnerships with suppliers to deliver best-in-class service and responsiveness.
• Fight Waste Relentlessly: Stay one step ahead by managing stock levels with precision — preventing overstocking and obsolescence before it happens.
• Deliver Sharp Analysis: Provide accurate and timely data, reporting, and insight to support supply chain optimisation and smarter decision-making.
• Be a Team Player: Work closely with fellow Supply Specialists, planners, and other key stakeholders to align on priorities and share best practices.

What we’re looking for in you

• Proven experience in supply chain, ideally with a focus on supplier performance and inventory control.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills— able to influence and build trust at all levels across the business
• A problem-solving mindset— comfortable making decisions independently in a dynamic, fast-moving environment.
• Meticulous attention to detail and a results-driven mindset.
• A passion for sustainability and doing the right thing — balancing commercial goals with responsible supply chain practices.
