What you'll bring:
2-3 years' applied experience as a supply chain planner or analyst (essential)
Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, macros, modelling) or Excel certification
Experience with Power BI or similar BI/reporting tools
Working knowledge of ERP systems (Kerridge K8 experience is a bonus)
Strong analytical mindset and commercial awareness
Excellent communication skills, confident presenting to managers and directors
Organised, detail-focused, proactive approach
Where you'll make an impact:
Own purchasing plans and stock replenishment in line with demand and supplier lead times
Turn procurement, supplier, and inventory data into actionable insights
Build reporting dashboards in Excel, Power BI, and ERP systems (Kerridge K8)
Track supplier performance and highlight risks, opportunities, and savings
Balance stock levels to keep customers happy while cutting waste and excess
Present insights weekly to the Commercial Manager and monthly to the Board
Play a key role in rolling out new automation across the supply chain
Drive continuous improvements in purchasing, logistics, and distribution
What's on offer:
The chance to shape a brand-new role in a growing retail & supply chain business
Clear progression into end-to-end purchasing and supply chain management
Exposure to new automation systems and modern planning tools
Ongoing professional development and training support
A collaborative, supportive team where your ideas count
Competitive salary, pension scheme, and employee benefits
Interview Process:
Initial chat with recruitment partner to discuss background and skills
Discussion with Ops & Supply Chain Manager on planning/analytics experience
Final interview with Directors to cover long-term plans and progression
Who we're looking for: A motivated supply chain professional with proven planner/analyst experience who thrives on problem-solving and responsibility.
You'll be someone who can combine operational know-how with data expertise, and you're ready to make a measurable impact from day one.

Product Support Analyst - Wealth Management - London / Hybrid
(Key skills: Product Support, Application Support, SQL, Client Management, Wealth Management, Investment Management, Troubleshooting, Stakeholder Engagement, Technical Analysis, Communication, Testing, Agile)
Are you a curious, analytical problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of technology and client service? This could be the ideal opportunity to grow your career in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
Our client is a rapidly growing investment software provider, working with some of the UK's most respected wealth management firms.
As a Product Support Analyst, you will play a vital role in ensuring clients can confidently navigate and maximise the value of complex software systems.
This role blends technical troubleshooting, stakeholder engagement and product insight — offering meaningful variety and the chance to develop real expertise in financial technology.
This is far more than a ticket-based support role.
You'll work directly with end users, internal technical teams and product specialists to resolve queries, deliver solutions and help drive long-term improvements across the platform.
You'll be trained to deeply understand how the product works, why it matters to clients, and where improvements can be made to ensure continuous service excellence.
The successful candidate will be naturally inquisitive, with a methodical approach to solving problems and strong communication skills.
You'll enjoy working with people, understanding their pain points, and guiding them through solutions.
While exposure to SQL, investment systems or agile methodologies would be advantageous, it's not a prerequisite — what matters more is your mindset, work ethic and desire to learn.
A strong academic background and genuine interest in financial services or technology will set you apart, particularly if you're a graduate looking to kick-start a career in product, support or technical analysis.
You'll receive full on-the-job training from experienced product professionals, along with a clear development pathway into areas such as QA, client success or product management.
This is a highly collaborative environment that values attitude over credentials and encourages continual learning through hands-on experience and team mentorship.
The role offers flexible working hours, including rotating shifts between 7am and 9pm, as well as a hybrid setup based out of a central London office.
It's a great opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in financial technology, while working in a supportive and engaging environment where your contributions will make a tangible impact.
Location: London, UK / Hybrid working
Salary: £30,000 - £37,0000 + Benefits
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
Hybrid working supported.
