Logistics Lead

Logistics Lead | Brand | E. London | Hybrid | £43,000 +

A fast-growing, founder-led brand is looking for a Logistics Lead to join at a genuinely exciting stage of its growth.

With ongoing international expansion and further warehouse developments underway, this is a great opportunity to join a business where logistics is evolving quickly and where you'll have real influence over how it operates.

Reporting to the Senior Logistics Manager, you'll take ownership of inbound logistics and warehouse operations, working across suppliers, freight forwarders, customs partners and 3PLs internationally.

Whilst the role is Hybrid (4 days in office), you will need to be based across 2 offices. East London (2 days) and Essex (2 days).

What you'll be doing day to day

• Own inbound logistics from supplier through to warehouse receipt.
• Manage international freight, consolidations, customs and shipment planning.
• Take ownership of HS codes, Incoterms, country of origin and customs compliance.
• Manage relationships with suppliers, freight forwarders and 3PL partners.
• Oversee warehouse performance, stock discrepancies, claims and escalations.
• Manage freight and warehouse costs, invoices and chargebacks.
• Own month-end logistics reporting and data accuracy.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, systems, automation and efficiency.
• Act as the go-to logistics expert within a fast-moving team.

What we're looking for

We're looking for proven experience, ideally within fashion, retail, beauty or another product-led environment.

You'll have:

• Strong inbound and international logistics experience.
• Knowledge of customs, HS codes, Incoterms and international shipping.
• Experience managing suppliers, freight forwarders and multiple international 3PLs.
• Strong Excel and data skills.
• Experience with Mintsoft or another WMS/ERP is advantageous.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach.
• The confidence to work independently and make decisions.
• Be able to travel between East London and Ilford

This would suit someone who is already operating as a manager at Logistics Lead level, or a very strong Senior Logistics Coordinator ready to step up and take ownership.

Why join?

This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain the status quo.

You'll be joining a high-growth fashion business with international ambitions, new warehouse developments and ongoing systems improvements. You'll have genuine scope to shape processes, solve problems and make a visible impact.
