We’re looking for a commercially minded, data-driven Product & Operations Manager to work directly for our CEO and take ownership of our processes and software for operations working across buying, 3PL, and financial reporting.

- Accounting partner:
- Build processes and be on hand to ensure our finance team can deliver timely management accounts
- Forecasting and stock analysis:
- Work with marketing to support on demand forecasting, stock management and pricing
- Ensure all products and processes are loaded and maintained accurately in Unleashed so that we have an accurate representation of stock levels, margin and sell through
- Platform & Systems Management:
- Oversee the backend of our ecommerce platform (Shopify, A2X, Unleashed, Swap and our customer service platform and Xero)
- Troubleshoot issues and coordinate with third-party providers as needed
- Profit Growth:
- Optimise workflows and software, share information and prioritise plans to drive profit and customer experience
About You

A People team built for ambitious businesses
The old model for People & Talent doesn’t work for today's businesses. We've built a better one.
Traditionally, early-stage Founders had two options: handle People & Talent themselves, losing precious time they should be spending on product or go-to-market, or hire a generalist, expected to cover everything from culture to recruitment to performance. We offer a more impactful alternative: A fully flexible, fractional People & Talent team with specialist skillsets and hand‑on delivery, ready to start driving impact for your business in weeks, not months.
