Belfast, United Kingdom Shirt In A Box Full time

Shirt in a Box: Company Background and Your Main Purpose Shirt in a Box is primarily an online retailer of mystery sports jerseys, based in Belfast, UK.
Shirt in a Box sources jerseys from around the world, from various manufacturers and clubs, and sells them to customers in the UK, Ireland, and the USA through mystery boxes on its online store.
Founded in 2021, Shirt in a Box has grown to a team of four full-time staff and recorded revenues of £6 million to date.
Following a record-breaking year in 2022, spurred by the World Cup, the past 12 months have been a period of alignment for the brand.
They've expanded their product range into different sports and internalised every department, no longer outsourcing any part of the business.
As a result, they have built an internal team that handles all customer service, fulfilment, and marketing.
The team is young, close-knit, and has a "can-do" attitude.
Maximum effort and hard work are the minimum expectations – like any great sporting team.
Think of the USA Dream Team or Pep's Barcelona.
This role is suited for someone who relishes a challenge rather than shies away from it.
Furthermore, setting aside any ego and being willing to support various parts of the business when needed are essential.
The team values diversity of thought, so football knowledge is not a requirement for this role.
With plans to continue their upward trajectory, Shirt in a Box is focused on hiring a Procurement Specialist .
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be responsible for purchasing new stock of football, NBA, and NFL jerseys, as well as other product ranges, to meet demand.
Your responsibilities will include developing existing supplier relationships and establishing new contacts to support the business.
Products range from football and basketball jerseys to custom artwork.
The ideal candidate will be able to analyse sales data, customer feedback, and forecasts while managing supplier relationships to make strategic stock acquisitions.
Main Accountabilities Deliver the Objectives: 3,000–5,000 jerseys per month 2,000 mixed products (prints, shorts, sweets, etc.)
Research: Analyse customer feedback to make better-informed purchases.
Outreach: Relentlessly pursue new supplier contacts to improve and diversify our product offering.
Negotiation: Master the art of deal-making, with a strong understanding of negotiation psychology, to acquire stock within target price guidelines.
Communication: Liaise with sales and finance teams regarding forecasts and maintain strong relationships with suppliers.
Quality: While volume and price are critical, quality should not be compromised.
Attention to detail is essential, as each product should be valued by our customers.
What Success Looks Like 6 months: A fully functioning supply chain, with deals in the pipeline, and stock committed to for 3 months in the future.
12 months: Multiple new products launched, and new suppliers onboarded.
Main skus stocked, or with deals in pipeline for 12 months.
If these goals are achieved, you will be financially rewarded.
Ask any current staff – we are not shy about compensating value when it's delivered.
Key Skills Strong understanding of procurement and its nuances A 'natural hustler' who enjoys every aspect of the deal, from search to negotiation Solid financial understanding, with awareness of pricing and its implications Self-motivated to meet objectives within timelines and independently Experience Ideally, 1 year of buying experience Pay: 24k-26k per annum initially, with reviews every 6 months based on performance.
Holidays: 28 days a year minimum.
(to be honest we don't care how many as long as you provide value & work hard) Working: In office.
All great innovations and achievements were built from working around a table.
