We’re looking for a proactive and collaborative individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment. Passionate about leading teams, building relationships, and making a real impact across our business.

+ Experience in leading and developing teams in a dynamic, fast-moving environment
+ Detail orientated and strong analytical skills to support decision-making
+ An understanding of the end-to-end Supply Chain and the vital role artwork plays within it
