Supply Chain & Merchandising Manager; Part-Time​/Freelance

Supply Chain & Merchandising Manager (Part-Time / Freelance ASAP)

Bijoux De Mimi is a UK-based, fast-paced, high-growth jewellery brand, with a tiny team that has scaled organically with no external investment, doubling year on year. The business was founded by Amelia Hitchcock-Merritt at 18 and has grown from strength to strength into a new international brand.

Following recent expansion into the EU and the USA, Bijoux De Mimi now operates across multiple warehouses, with a primary focus on direct‑to‑consumer online sales. As the brand continues to scale, the complexity of stock planning, production timelines, and international logistics has increased significantly.

Bijoux De Mimi is now looking for an experienced, confident operator to manage supply chain, inventory forecasting, and logistics as we grow. This role will work very closely with Amelia, who has managed all of this by herself until now, alongside our UK, EU, and US warehouse teams, and occasionally with our Brand Manager to support wholesale planning when required.

The role can be based in our London office, remotely, or in a hybrid model (hybrid preferred).

Candidates must be English‑speaking and ideally based in or close to London for in‑person meetings.

We are seeking a highly experienced Supply Chain & Merchandising Manager to take ownership of inventory planning, production timelines, supplier management, and logistics across our UK, EU, and US operations. This is not a junior role. While onboarding will be provided for our specific warehouse and logistics platforms, we expect this person to know what they’re doing, lead the function with confidence, and operate with a high level of autonomy.

You will be responsible for ensuring the business is consistently stocked, launches run on time, and logistics operate smoothly without requiring day‑to‑day oversight from the Founder.
