Hey! We’re Kukoon, and we don’t just sell rugs; we design, curate, and deliver interiors with personality. We move fast, we care deeply about quality and detail, and we believe in giving our people room to grow, challenge, improve, and have fun while doing it.

As Logistics Manager at Kukoon, you’ll be responsible for ensuring our products move smoothly from supplier to warehouse to customer. You’ll own the end-to-end order and logistics process (inbound and outbound), keeping everything running on time, and within cost. This role is hands-on, detail-driven, and critical to our day-to-day operations. You’ll be the person who spots issues early, keeps orders on track, and makes sure our teams have clear visibility of what’s arriving, when, and why.

Key Responsibilities

• Logistics & Order Execution – Owning the smooth flow of orders inbound to warehouse and outbound to customers.

• Freight & Import Management – Coordinating shipments safely, efficiently, and within budget. Manage inbound freight from our international suppliers, working closely with freight forwarders and logistics partners. Coordinate sea, road, and courier shipments, optimising routes, transit times, and freight costs.

• Logistics Performance, Systems & Continuous Improvement – Ensuring processes, systems, and partners perform reliably and improve over time. Establish, monitor, and manage SLAs with courier and logistics partners, holding them accountable to agreed service levels and performance standards. Proactively manage and resolve service issues with couriers, including missed SLAs, delays, or performance concerns, ensuring issues are addressed and don’t repeat. Own the logistics element of returns, working with warehouses and couriers to ensure returns are processed efficiently, accurately, and with minimal friction.
