- Optimise inventory management within automated and robotic picking systems
- Improve picking, packing, and operational workflows to increase efficiency and accuracy
- Use data to investigate issues, identify root causes, and implement solutions
- Build and maintain Excel-based models, reports, and performance trackers

- Manage and improve relationships with logistics providers and external partners
What we’re looking for
- Strong analytical mindset with a natural curiosity for how systems and processes work
- Confident problem solver who can identify issues and implement practical solutions
- Advanced Excel skills and comfortable working with data
- Degree or background in Engineering, Data, Computer Science or similar (desirable)
- Experience in operations, logistics, manufacturing or process-driven environments (beneficial, not essential)
- Proactive, driven and motivated to make a tangible impact
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
Why apply?
This isn’t a standard operations role – it’s an opportunity to step back, analyse, and reshape how a business operates. You’ll have the autonomy to implement change, track results, and see the direct impact of your work.
