Head of Personalised Products

Firebox is looking for a Head of Personalised Products for our fast growing personalised products area. This could be you!

You will be extremely commercial and have a good creative sense about you. You will have previous experience in developing a personalised product range in a retail, and preferably an online, environment. You will manage the P&L of this area for Firebox, and therefore previous experience is essential. You will have good relationships with the key suppliers and partners in the personalised products industry. Excellent negotiation skills are a must.

You will be extremely active on social media platforms, with deep knowledge of Facebook and Twitter in particular. You will be aware of the kinds of amazing products that can be created for Firebox's great customers using social media platforms. Technical prowess will be viewed favourably, but is not necessary.

You will likely be self-sufficient, with an extremely positive outlook on life. And you will know how to push yourself to deliver results in a fast-paced environment.

NB: Dull and boring people: Look away now.

You will inject a strong sense of energy and passion into everything you do, and you will know how to have a good time. You will have no problems bringing a sense of fun into everything you do.

The position will be based at Firebox's head office in Shoreditch, London. Salary and compensation will be based on previous experience.

Stock Controller

Joining a team of one other Stock Controller and reporting into the Head of Inventory, this role is primarily responsible for ensuring we maintain appropriate levels of stock cover for the website, and managing relationships with a very large supply base, including many that are international.

Day-to-day tasks include (but are not limited to) sending replenishment orders for our existing SKU base (including some FOB/ex works buys), deciding on initial order quantities for new lines by analysing past sales of similar products, liaising and negotiating with suppliers, identifying areas with excess stock and deciding upon the most appropriate exit route, managing supplier returns, and assisting the Head of Inventory with the weekly reporting. There is also ample opportunity for ‘ad-hoc analysis’ of both stock and sales at Category, Supplier, Promo level etc.

An extreme (almost inappropriate?) love for excel is a must, and applicants will also need to be numerical with excellent communications skills. At times this will be an especially high pressure role, so only the most patient, calm, pro-active and tenacious personalities need apply! An obsession over attention to detail is also key. Firebox really values the family like culture it’s gained through the years and we’re really looking for somebody who’ll fit right in and view Firebox as more than just a place to work. If you can bake cakes, or have a good pet you’ll get extra brownie points.

When not making critical business decisions, Firebox is an enormously fun place to work, so you’ll need to be ready to swap your Stock Control hat at times, to take part in modelling for the website, help organising nights out, be on the lookout for the next big thing we should be selling and taking part in various (often silly) competitions. You may even get to put on a robot head and be remote controlled to the gold gnome on a Friday afternoon!

Stock Control is very much an area of development for the company and the right candidate could have a real impact on how we manage our stock and supplier base, and shape how the department is run. We are ideally looking for somebody with 2-3 years’ experience within a similar role, and experience with an online retailer will be a significant advantage.

The position will be based at Firebox's head office in Shoreditch, London. Salary will be based on previous experience.

Does this sound like it could be you? Well, what are you waiting for? Dust off that cv, and get a wriggle on. To apply please send a CV and covering letter to jobs@firebox.com quoting ‘Stock Control’ in the subject line. Applications close at midnight, February 12th, 2012.
