Production & Logistics Manager | Fast-Growth Ecommerce Brand | London

Our client is a fast-growth consumer brand that has scaled at exceptional speed through a combination of strong product, sharp commercial execution, and operational agility. Operating within a highly social, fast-moving category, the business has built significant international demand and established itself as one of the standout founder-led growth stories in the UK. What differentiates the company is the way it combines creativity with operational discipline. Products move quickly from concept to market, supply chain decisions are made commercially, and the business places real emphasis on speed, quality, and margin as it scales. The environment is hands-on, ambitious, and execution-focused, with senior leadership closely involved in both strategy and day-to-day decision making.

With continued expansion across international markets and product categories, the business is now investing further into its sourcing and production capability, building stronger supplier networks, improving operational infrastructure, and creating a more scalable global supply chain to support the next stage of growth.
