Junior Operations Manager jobs

Organised, proactive and ready for your next opportunity?

We’re looking for a Junior Supply Chain Coordinator to join our growing team in York.

If you’re organised, enjoy solving problems, have a great eye for detail and like keeping things moving, this could be the role for you.

You’ll be an important part of our supply chain team, working with suppliers and colleagues across the business to make sure orders, stock and product information are managed efficiently.

We’re also looking for someone with a genuine interest in product quality and compliance. You don’t need to be a compliance expert, but you should be curious about how products are tested, approved and meet the standards required to be sold to our customers.

About Monster Group

Monster Group is a dynamic e-commerce retailer offering a diverse range of high-quality, great-value products to customers around the world.

We’re ambitious, fast-moving and always looking for ways to improve. Our values of Fun+, Respect, Empowerment and Forward-Thinking shape how we work and how we treat our customers and colleagues.

This is a great opportunity to join a growing business where you’ll work across a wide range of products, suppliers and teams, making a real contribution to keeping our operations running smoothly.

What will you be doing?

You’ll help keep our day-to-day supply chain running smoothly, with a varied role covering everything from purchase orders and stock to suppliers, product information and compliance.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Keeping purchase orders up to date and helping ensure orders stay on track.
• Monitoring stock levels and organising accurate transfers between warehouses.
• Creating SKUs and maintaining accurate product information across our systems.
• Preparing daily reports and using Excel to help keep the team informed.
• Working with suppliers to organise, oversee and review product and factory inspections.
• Supporting the team with product compliance activities, including keeping compliance information and documentation accurate and up to date.
• Working with suppliers to obtain and maintain relevant product documentation and information.
• Following up with suppliers and helping resolve product, quality or compliance queries when things don’t go to plan.
• Acting as a first point of contact for product queries from our Customer Support team.
• Managing emails, phone calls and general supply chain administration.
• Supporting the team with container movement administration during busy periods.
• Helping to identify opportunities to improve processes and the way we work.
• Carrying out other relevant tasks to support the wider supply chain team.

What kind of person are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, organised, detail-focused and keen to learn.

You’ll ideally be someone who:

• Has excellent attention to detail and takes pride in getting things right.
• Is highly organised and can manage multiple priorities.
• Is proactive and enjoys taking ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.
• Has strong communication skills and is confident dealing with suppliers and colleagues.
• Can manage their time effectively and work to deadlines.
• Has good IT skills, including confident use of Microsoft Excel.
• Enjoys problem-solving and finding practical solutions.
• Is comfortable working independently while also being a strong team player.
• Is naturally curious and enjoys learning about products and processes.
• Has a genuine interest in product quality and compliance and wants to understand what makes a product safe, suitable and compliant.
• Is willing to get stuck in and support the team wherever needed.

Previous experience in supply chain, purchasing, logistics or a similar role would be beneficial, but attitude, organisation and attention to detail are just as important to us.

Working hours and location:

The role is full time - starting between 8.00am and 9.30am, and finish between 4.00pm and 5.30pm (37.5 hours per week with 30 minutes or 1 hour for lunch), and you will be based at our modern offices near York (YO60 6PG) 5 days a week, so having your own transport is essential.
