Harmonic is delighted to be partnering with a premium food and beverage brand with a strong reputation for quality and an established presence across several sales channels, both in the UK and internationally. The business has built a loyal customer base and continues to see growing demand across its markets.
Sourcing is global and supply cycles are not always straightforward, so keeping stock moving to the right place at the right time sits at the heart of how the business performs. The team is lean, collaborative and hands-on, and people are given real ownership early.
The Role
Sitting within the operations team and reporting into the Operations Lead, this role is focused on one thing above all: keeping stock flowing. You will run the day-to-day of export logistics, working with freight forwarders and customs brokers to get product to customers and markets accurately and on time. Alongside this, you will support procurement and provide light support on production scheduling and demand planning.
This is a hands-on, detail-heavy role for someone two to three years into their operations career who is organised, meticulous and a strong communicator. Deep specialist knowledge is not required; being quick to learn and comfortable with admin-heavy work matters far more. The operations function is evolving, so there is also scope to help shape better processes and bring a practical, AI-native approach to how the work gets done as the business scales.
Key Duties
- Coordinate export shipments from booking through to delivery, keeping stock moving to customers and markets on time
- Manage day-to-day relationships with freight forwarders and customs brokers
- Prepare and manage export documentation, including customs certificates, making sure paperwork is accurate and compliant
- Support the procurement process, working with suppliers to keep orders on track
- Provide support on production scheduling and demand planning, keeping stock and planning information up to date
- Act as a clear point of contact for internal teams on shipments, stock availability and delivery timings
- Keep on top of the admin side of operations, spotting issues early and flagging risks before they affect supply
- Look for ways to simplify and automate manual tasks, including through the use of AI tools
What the Client Would Like to See (Essential)
- Two to three years' experience in an operations, logistics, shipping or supply chain role
- Exposure to export logistics and working with freight forwarders or customs brokers
- Highly organised and meticulous, with strong attention to detail
- Excellent communication skills, both with internal teams and external partners
- Comfortable with admin-heavy work and able to get a lot done
- Quick to learn, proactive and energetic
What We Would Like to See (Bonus)
- An AI-native mindset and confidence using AI tools to work more efficiently
- Some experience of procurement, production scheduling or demand planning
- Background in food and beverage, FMCG or consumer goods
- Experience in an SME or growing business
