Job description

Campaign and Inventory Operations Lead
Own the campaign. Own the stock. Own the outcome.

We’re looking for a highly organised, detail-obsessed operator to take full ownership of campaign execution across warehouse, inventory, and activation environments.

This is not a coordination role. This is a hands-on operations role where you are accountable for everything from stock landing in the warehouse to kits arriving on-site — and back again.

What you’ll own
  • End-to-end campaign execution for your assigned accounts for all collateral (“silos”)
  • All inventory within your silo — system and physical
  • Warehouse administration (PFIs, PFOs, reconciliations)
  • Picking, packing, dispatch readiness and QC
  • Returns, variances, and stock integrity
  • Activation set-up and strike (when required)
If something goes wrong in your campaign from a collateral perspective — you own it.

What you’ll be doing

Campaign planning
  • Translate briefs into operational plans
  • Build SKU structures and manage inbound stock (PFIs)
  • Flag risks early — stock, timing, capacity
Inventory ownership
  • Manage and monitor all stock within your silo
  • Ensure correct allocation, usage, and availability
  • Investigate and resolve all discrepancies
Warehouse execution
  • Plan and coordinate picking and packing
  • Book core team support in advance
  • Arrange additional resources where needed
Quality control and dispatch
  • QC all kits before dispatch (no exceptions)
  • Ensure accuracy, completeness, and correct labelling
  • Oversee dispatch to field teams
Returns and reconciliation
  • Manage all returns and condition checks
  • Investigate variances and resolve discrepancies
  • Own repairs, refurbishments, and stock decisions
Activation support
  • Coordinate set-up and strike logistics
  • Attend site when required
  • Ensure assets move correctly and return in full
What success looks like
  • Campaigns run on time, in full, and without errors
  • Stock is always accounted for
  • Issues are identified early and solved fast
  • Warehouse and field execution are aligned
  • Nothing “falls through the cracks” on your watch


Requirements

  • 2–4 years in warehouse, logistics, or BTL/activation operations
  • Strong understanding of inventory and operational workflows - knowledge of Ador WMS advantageous
  • Ability to manage multiple moving parts under pressure
  • High attention to detail (you notice what others miss)
  • Strong ownership mindset — no passing the buck
  • Ability to think on your feet and find solutions fast
  • Bonus points if you're handy for set-up and strike
