About the Role:

A great opportunity for someone wanting to get into the world of logistics, learn new skills and be part of a highly reputable, dynamic team that consistently delivers 5* service throughout the Lush business.

A varied administrative role that will involve learning all aspects of the daily operations to include booking freight, processing invoices, customs queries, responding to emails in a timely manner and general record keeping. You will be working in collaboration with our Procurement Team, Buyers and Freight Forwarders to help manage our ever-growing portfolio of suppliers, whilst continuously providing a high level of service. This will involve giving instructions for customs clearance, checking customs entries and on occasion may also require working directly with HMRC.

Always something new to learn, it's an interesting role that will arouse your curiosity. You will come to know where we import our ethically sourced raw materials from around the globe as we aim to deliver them safely and in good time for production.
