About the Team
Our Supply Chain & Operations teams are at the heart of our recommerce business. We ensure products move seamlessly from customers into our warehouses and then to new homes across Europe.
As we expand into multiple markets, we are investing in building a smarter and more scalable warehouse network—this includes improving warehouse design, introducing automation where it adds value, and creating consistent processes replicable across all sites.

Combining operational insights with technical expertise, you’ll ensure our warehouses remain efficient, scalable, and ready to support continued growth.

- Provide data-driven insights for warehouse capacity planning and investment decisions.
- Support operational teams through training and change management with new technologies or layouts.
