Supply Chain Executive

🌱 Who we are

Mother Root is the fiery ginger non-alcoholic aperitif. We harness the power of apple cider vinegar to serve up a dose of good feelings. Our mission is to redefine the evening ritual of drinking well and feeling good, with drinks that are complex, delicious and rooted in nature.

We're the UK's fastest-growing drinks brand and the number one non-alcoholic spirit. We were a £7m business last year and we're on track for more than £20m this year. Next we're accelerating that growth, and becoming one of the leading non-alcoholic brands in the US as well as the UK. Small but mighty team, big category, plenty still to build.

We're building a team where ambitious people do the best work of their careers, supporting each other and making something they truly believe in. We believe work should be joyful, purposeful and full of flavour.

🚀 The Role

This role keeps our production running. You'll make sure every ingredient and packaging component reaches our production partners on time and in full, and that our supply data stays accurate.

Reporting into our Senior Supply Chain Manager, you'll work closely with Operations, Growth and Finance, as well as our production partners and suppliers.

This is a planning role at heart: turning forecasts into supply and spotting issues before they reach the line. Plenty is still being built, so you'll help shape how we work. It's ideal for an experienced planner or an analytical mind who wants to become one.

📋 What You’ll Do

Supply planning

• Keep our supply plan up to date as forecasts and actuals change

• Turn demand forecasts into ingredient and packaging requirements

• Track stock cover, lead times and minimum order quantities

Production readiness

• Raise purchase orders for each production run

• Coordinate deliveries across our suppliers and production partners

• Be the first point of contact for supplier queries

Data and reporting

• Keep our purchase order tracking and supply master data accurate

• Track stock, yield and production volumes

• Check supplier invoices and support the roll-out of our new ERP

• Help build simple tools and new processes, using AI to cut out manual work

🧭 Your first year

• Get to know our products, production partners and suppliers

• Take over day-to-day ordering and purchase orders

• Bring our supply tracking and master data into one place

• Take on more of the supply planning as we roll out our new ERP

🎓 What You’ll Bring

• Ideally, circa 2+ years of experience in supply planning, demand planning or a similarly analytical role, ideally gained in a similar DTC/omnichannel/consumer goods business

• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills

• A curious mind and a real interest in how supply chains work

• Strong organisation and attention to detail

• Confident, friendly communication with suppliers and partners

Useful, not essential: experience with an ERP or planning tool

💫 How we work

Four values, and we use them to make actual calls.

• Be human. Warmth first, with each other, customers and suppliers. The person stays at the heart of every decision. We're straight when it's hard, and we lean on each other.

• Bring the heat. Energy, hunger, momentum. We're ambitious and we don't settle. We back ourselves and we test and learn rather than get stuck in debate.

• Keep it simple. Fewer things, done properly. The simplest version wins. Simple is harder, that's the point.

• Stay original. We lead, we don't follow. We made the category, and staying original means never stopping there.

🌟 Why this is a brilliant job

• Help build a growing supply chain, not just run one

• See the whole journey from forecast to bottle, in the UK and the US

• Be part of an ERP roll-out early in your career

• Learn from a Senior Supply Chain Manager who'll invest in your growth
