We are a small, profitable B2B luxury fashion distribution business based in Bristol, working in a hybrid setup with typically one day a week in the office and the rest remote. We partner with global brands to turn problematic wholesale into a controlled, profitable channel, and we operate with a low-ego, close-knit team across sales, operations, and IT. In-house development is treated as a strategic function rather than a support service, and we value team fit, attitude, and communication alongside technical ability. We offer a friendly, flexible working environment, 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, PMI, pension, and social events. This is a chance to take real ownership of business-critical software in a small team where your work has a direct impact on how the business runs and makes money.
