Remote Operations Manager - Luxury Beauty

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Operations Manager to join a growing team within the luxury beauty industry. This role is integral to ensuring smooth day-to-day operations across multiple functions, requiring an all-rounder who has worked in an e-commerce brand and is comfortable wearing multiple hats.

• Assist with recruitment and HR, ensuring smooth internal processes.
• Liaise with new retailers and onboard them efficiently, including managing documentation for larger department stores.
• Oversee Amazon Seller Central operations, ensuring smooth listing and shipment processes for UK and US markets.
• Align with other departments such as Marketing and Social Media, stepping in to respond to comments or escalations when required.
• Step into customer service issues when necessary, though a dedicated customer service team is in place.
• Ensure smooth accounts and finance operations related to retail orders.
• Support compliance with international product registration processes, ensuring that products meet country-specific regulations.
• If experienced, assist in overseeing EDI platforms for order processing.

• Broad operational experience in a small to medium-sized e-commerce business, preferably in beauty, personal care, or related sectors.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic environment where responsibilities span multiple departments.
• Hands-on experience with Shopify is required.
• Experience with Amazon Seller Central is a big plus.
• Familiarity with EDI platforms is highly desirable.
• Some knowledge of Klaviyo would be beneficial, though not essential.
• Experience managing retail partner onboarding and purchase orders.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to adapt when different challenges arise.
• An all-rounder who can step into different areas such as HR, recruitment, customer service, and marketing when needed.
• Immediate availability or a maximum one-month notice period is preferred.
