To think really well our brains needs rest and focus. In balancing our time, energy and attention, we rejuvenate with power naps, mindfulness or even a quick planking challenge.
IN A NUTSHELL
Since we launched with a range of six wallets in 2010, we’ve grown significantly and now release about 50 new products a year (give or take). Our Production team is in charge of ensuring all of these products (and those yet to come) are manufactured on time, in the right quantity and to up to standard.
As our Production and Supply Coordinator, you'll work closely with suppliers, courier services, and freight forwarders—often managing them simultaneously—to keep everything running smoothly. Your responsibilities will include creating production plans, setting delivery timelines, and anticipating potential issues or delays before they arise. Effective communication will be key, ensuring both external partners and internal teams stay on track. You’ll oversee factory output, monitor stock levels, and manage external logistics, including the shipment of raw materials, finished goods, and samples. Beyond coordination, we’re looking for someone curious and data-driven, who enjoys analyzing information to improve processes and help the team make better decisions. You'll track key metrics, identify cost-saving opportunities, and boost efficiency, contributing directly to streamlining our operations.
Bring your desire to learn, analytical mindset, and strong communication skills, and in return, we’ll provide you with a supportive, inclusive team, engaging work, and the resources to further develop your skills.

- Have 1-3 years experience in supply chain - logistics, purchasing, supplier management (we would also consider equivalent educational experience)
- Possess strong problem-solving skills and logical, careful decision-making within your known areas
- Are organised and analytical, with great attention to detail
- Love a good spreadsheet and want to continue developing your skills in this space

- Enjoy deep diving into data, and have a knack for seeing the right insights to produce useful reports and make calibrated recommendations for the wider team
