As it continues to grow, the business is focused on building a strong foundation for its next stage, with customer experience and operational excellence playing a central role in its success.

This is an opportunity to join a purpose-driven, growing business where the quality of the product is matched by the ambition behind it. For someone who enjoys working in a premium consumer environment, there's real scope to make an impact, help shape how the business operates and contribute to the experience that sets the brand apart.

The Role This is an opportunity for an experienced Customer Service Manager to take the lead on a key function within a growing consumer brand. You'll manage and develop the Customer Service team, bringing together people, processes and systems to deliver a seamless experience from the moment an order is placed through to delivery. You'll have the scope to improve how the function operates, strengthen relationships across the business and make sure customer service keeps pace with growth.

Combining hands-on operational ownership with team leadership and continuous improvement, this role would suit someone who enjoys making things work better and building a function that can scale.

Use service metrics and customer feedback to understand performance, identify issues and drive meaningful improvements. Work closely with Sales, Finance and Supply Chain to resolve challenges and deliver a joined-up customer experience. Build strong relationships with commercial teams and customers across the UK and international markets. Ensure the team has the training, systems and processes in place to maintain service levels as the business grows.
