We've built an AI-powered platform that changes this entirely: automated ordering, predictive forecasting, supplier matching, and embedded credit that lets brands sell before they pay.</span></p><p><span>We're <strong>a scaling</strong>, VC-backed by <strong>Index Ventures, Anthemis, and Chalfen Ventures</strong>, with unicorn angels from <strong>GoCardless, </strong></span><a target="_blank" href="http://Flow.io"><span><strong>Flow.io</strong></span></a><span><strong>, and Trouva</strong>.

From the day we onboard their first supplier through to running their account day to day. Supply chain operations are changing fast, and this role is built for where it's going, not where it's been: you'll spend as much time prompting and improving AI agents as you will speaking directly with customers and suppliers, and you'll be trusted with real commercial and financial decisions, not just admin.</p><p>This isn't a queue-clearing job. It's a relationship, a fleet of agents, and a genuine say in what we build next.</p><p><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p><p><strong>Owning your accounts Operations</strong></p><p>Be the named point of contact for a portfolio of customer accounts, carrying them from onboarding through to steady-state operation</p><p>Understand each account's nuances: their suppliers, their credit position, their quirks, well enough to anticipate problems before they land in your inbox</p><p>Act as first point of contact for inbound queries relating to orders, deliveries, payments, and the platform itself, including flagging and helping resolve bugs</p><p>Speak directly with suppliers to finalise orders, pricing, and terms</p><p>Manage customer credit limits and clearance decisions, balancing risk against keeping orders moving</p><p>Book and negotiate freight where needed, coordinating carriers and brokers directly</p><p>Own and maintain compliance and certification documents for your accounts, keeping them current and audit-ready</p><p>Investigate the root cause of delivery and quality exceptions, not just resolve the ticket in front of you, understand why it happened and whether it will happen again</p><p>Running the machine — AI, automation &amp; Continuous improvement</p><p>Prompt, configure, and maintain the AI agents that run your accounts' routine workflows, chasing suppliers for documents, monitoring deliveries, reconciling invoices, and know when to let the agent run versus step in yourself</p><p>Continuously look for the next piece of your own workload worth handing to an agent, and build it</p><p>Monitor and report on key operational metrics including OTIF, invoice accuracy, payment turnaround time, and supplier onboarding cycle time, using AI wherever possible.</p><p>Identify and implement process improvements, working closely with product and tech</p><h6><span><strong id="docs-internal-guid-0b0a2496-7fff-ed14-64e0-e90cc395856e">What Experience You Have</strong></span></h6><ul><li><p><span>We care far more about how you think and work than about a specific career history. Some of our best people have come from sales, account management, or fast-moving startups rather than traditional supply chain backgrounds.</span></p></li><li><p><span>That said, you'll likely have 1-3 years in a role that required you to manage multiple stakeholders and processes at once: Customer Success, Operations, Account Management, Purchasing, Logistics etc</span></p></li><li><p><span>You're already comfortable using AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT in your day-to-day work, and ideally you can point to a time you built or configured something (a workflow, a prompt, a script, an automation) that made your own job easier</span></p></li><li><p><span>Exposure to food, consumer goods, or supply chain/logistics industries is a plus, but genuinely not required</span></p></li><li><p><span>Comfortable having real commercial conversations: negotiating a price, holding a line on a credit decision, not just administering someone else's</span></p></li></ul><h6><span><strong id="docs-internal-guid-0b0a2496-7fff-ed14-64e0-e90cc395856e">Who You Are</strong></span></h6><ul><li><p><span>You're excited by AI agents, not threatened by them.
