We partner with global brands to turn problematic wholesale into a controlled, profitable channel. Our team is low ego, close knit, and made up of sales, operations, and IT, with in-house development treated as a strategic function rather than a support service. We offer a friendly, flexible, grown-up working environment, with benefits including 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, PMI, pension, and social events. This role gives you real ownership of business-critical software that sits at the heart of how we run and make money.
