  • Budget & Cost Management: Own operational budgeting, with responsibility for cost optimisation and productivity initiatives.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal teams such as supply chain, merchandising, procurement, and customer service to align ops with business goals.
  • Systems & Technology: Drive adoption and optimisation of warehouse management systems and new tech to support scaling.
