Supply Chain Analyst (Permanent) in London

We're hiring a Supply Chain Analyst to join the Supply Chain team at Zima Dental. From day one, you'll be trusted to help deliver against key supply chain metrics and support projects that directly impact cost, product availability, and growth.

This role sits within the supply chain vertical, but you'll work end to end across the full chain: production, freight and logistics, warehousing and fulfilment, and forecasting and planning. You'll also collaborate closely with teams across Operations, Product, Marketing, Quality, and Customer Experience to keep product flowing and projects moving quickly, efficiently, and to a high standard.

This is not a traditional early career role where you rotate passively between departments. You'll be expected to contribute immediately, solve problems independently, and take ownership early. You'll work closely with senior leadership and gain real exposure to how supply chain decisions are made and how they ripple across the business. The expectation is not just that you support projects, but that you actively help drive them forward.

In return, high performers are given rapid progression, significant ownership, and the opportunity to grow into leadership roles quickly. If you want responsibility early, genuine breadth and depth across supply chain, plenty of analytical challenges, and the opportunity to accelerate your career far faster than in a traditional corporate environment, this role is for you.

• Work across the full end-to-end supply chain, from production through to final delivery.
• Work directly with suppliers on production and order coordination, helping ensure orders are placed, tracked, and delivered on time and to spec.
• Oversee freight management, making sure processes run efficiently and that freight is coordinated in a timely manner in line with stock requirements.
• Track and monitor the performance of our key 3PL accounts to keep fulfilment operations running efficiently.
• Work within the Zima Dental ERP, building a deep understanding of the platform and setting up processes that ensure it is used correctly and consistently across the whole team.

• Support demand forecasting and replenishment planning across products and markets.
• Help maintain healthy inventory levels, balancing availability against working capital and avoiding both stockouts and overstock.
• Track inventory across locations and channels, and flag risks early.
• Contribute to launch and sale-event planning so the chain is ready for demand spikes.

• Build reporting and track performance against key supply chain metrics such as service levels, lead times, freight cost, and stock availability.
• Build models and run scenario analysis to pressure-test plans and support better decisions.
• Use data to support continuous improvement across planning, logistics, and fulfilment.
• Turn messy operational data into clear insight that drives action.
• Work closely with Operations, Product, Marketing, and Quality teams to support business-critical initiatives.
• Coordinate across internal teams and external partners (suppliers, freight forwarders, 3PLs) to keep product moving.
• Communicate proactively to keep projects on track and stakeholders aligned.
• Improve workflows, systems, and supply chain processes as the business scales.
• Support automation and efficiency initiatives across planning, logistics, and fulfilment.
• Create and refine SOPs to improve consistency and execution quality.
• Help implement supply chain systems and tools (for example ERP and inventory platforms) that improve business performance.
• Take increasing ownership of supply chain verticals and projects as you develop in the role.
• Develop a deep understanding of how a high-growth, high-volume physical product business scales its supply chain.

Recent graduate or early-career professional with strong academic performance. Degree in Science, Business, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Supply Chain, Logistics, or a related field preferred. Previous internship, startup, or supply chain / logistics / operations experience is beneficial but not required.

Strong analytical and quantitative ability, and genuine enjoyment of solving complex, data-heavy problems. Confident working with data, spreadsheets, and reporting. Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. Genuinely analytically minded, and energised by digging into data and tackling analytical challenges.

Zima Dental is a fast-growing premium consumer brand operating globally and scaling quickly. We move high volumes of physical product across multiple markets, which makes supply chain central to how we grow. In this role, you'll gain genuine breadth and depth across the entire supply chain, from production and freight through to warehousing, fulfilment, and planning. You'll work on projects that genuinely matter, collaborate closely with senior leadership, and build a strong foundation across every stage of how product reaches the customer.

For the right person, this role offers significantly faster progression, broader exposure, and more ownership than a traditional graduate role.

28 days holiday (excluding bank holidays). Company pension. Cycle to Work scheme. Fast career progression opportunities and significant ownership from an early stage.
