Description

Supply Chain Business Analyst / Project Lead

Overview

Our Supply Chain Team is targeting transformation to support our eCommerce acceleration and growing retail estate. With warehousing in three territories, 300+ physical stores and a global sourcing operation for our in-house brands, we run a high growth, international operation. Joining our Supply Chain team, the successful candidate will have a hands-on role delivering the transformation needed to achieve our ambition. You’ll work closely with the Supply Chain Operations and Strategy team and our Technology Development team to understand business needs and requirements, translating those into solutions for both technology and operations and driving projects to completion. You’ll play a critical role in ambitious projects such as deploying automation and RFID within our logistics networks, launching new propositions and expanding our warehouse footprint to new markets. We’re looking for a curious, innovative and analytical individual to build their career with us. This role is well-suited to a structured thinker who can balance a strategic business perspective with a detailed understanding of technology and business process flows. We’ll need you to bring your project delivery skills to the team, not just driving your own projects but also supporting other members of the team to deliver theirs. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a hands-on role with real autonomy and responsibility in a rapidly growing business investing in growth and innovation. This is a hybrid role which requires travel to our UK warehouse in Peterborough once a week and some travel to our London head office. What You'll Be Doing

  • Delivering actionable, analytical insights to spark new ideas and assess existing ones and presenting these to all levels of seniority
  • Developing, owning and accelerating new and innovative initiatives from inception to implementation to review
  • Supporting cross-team project implementation over short and long timeframes

About Mountain Warehouse
In 1997, we launched Mountain Warehouse to make the outdoors accessible to everyone by offering value for money product and exemplary customer service. The outdoor industry had become very jargon heavy and we wanted to create a brand that would cater to our mothers and our neighbour’s kids as well as seasoned professionals who understood the technology. Our expansion since then has seen the brand grow and the product evolve, but the small family business that makes MW special has remained. Great product is at the heart of everything we do. As we expand internationally we employ a team of dedicated diverse people to offer our valued customers the best possible experience when visiting our stores, shopping online and putting our range through its paces.
