Inventory and Fulfilment Co-ordinator

PINCH is one of the UK’s most prestigious, creative and successful furniture brands, created by Russell Pinch and Oona Bannon. Since 2004 we have been designing and distributing award winning, contemporary furniture and lighting to a global audience. We are a company with an uncompromising idea of what makes a perfect piece of furniture and our customers rely on us to deliver impeccable product and personal service. We are looking for a systems literate, detail oriented, energetic and joined up thinking individual who will be instrumental in making sure our products move smoothly through our spaces, and are accurately reflected in our systems to ensure we service our customers with products and service standards that delight and exceed expectations.

The winning candidate will be a highly organised individual who will record stock and component movement through the business in real time, manage the customer care and dispatch of our ecommerce orders, manage dispatch for our few wholesale partners, and who will work closely with the fulfilment team to support in the arrangement of getting our products to our customers and end clients. This is a role for an individual who is smart thinking, motivated by the challenge of ensuring our stock items, stock movements and stock locations are interrogated, reliably managed, and accurately reflected for all teams across the business to be able to access up to date information. The role will appeal to an individual who loves to cross off their task list, collaborating and communicating well with other colleagues and external 3rd parties, and is comfortable reflecting multiple schedules, can think and work efficiently, whilst respecting the need for rigour and accuracy in their output.

Much of our order fulfilment is extremely straight forward; stocked, boxed goods moving from our warehouse to a 3rd party delivery company, and this role will support with these arrangements. Other order scenarios are more logistically complex, e.g., large scale install, requiring multi supplier, product type and lead time coordination. This role will provide cover for such logistics planning and implementation, therefore an ability to strategically evaluate best circumstances for collection and collation of items will be relied upon. As a key collaborator with the sales and fulfilment teams, our ideal candidate will also have an interest and ability to respond to customer issues, ensuring any problems are efficiently resolved for our clients and escalated accordingly to the relevant internal teams.

• Work with Sales and Operations to resolve customer/product issues in a timely and efficient manner, escalating as necessary.
• Arrange and communicate customer deliveries, within a targeted time period of sale.
• Complete customer orders to close off records, and ensure our system is fully reflective and up to date with goods that have been issued to clients.
• Liaise with customers in relation to outstanding balance payments, managing release of goods, scheduling convenient timings accordingly.
• Ensure shipping costs are balanced to budget.
• Preparation of goods management and documentation for any wholesale dispatch.
