SALARY - £35,000 TO £40,000 DOE

Buy It Direct is a leading UK e-commerce retailer. We’ve built the business from the ground up to become one of the UK’s largest and fastest-growing online retailers.
We’re looking for a Supply Chain Analyst to join our team and focus on high-level inventory and stock optimisation across all product categories.
This role is not focused on day-to-day SKU management; it’s about leveraging data to proactively identify stock risks and facilitate improved decision-making across trading, merchandising, and operations. You will collaborate closely with key teams to ensure product availability, safeguard margins, and alleviate operational pressure.

Analyse stock data at a category level to identify overstock, understock, and ageing stock that could affect margin or warehouse space.

• Monitor inbound stock volumes and highlight risks around warehouse capacity, supplier delays, or overlapping deliveries.
• Use trading plans, promotional calendars, and historical data to forecast demand and support stock planning.
• Identify slow-moving or excess inventory and propose actions to reduce financial exposure.
• Collaborate with commercial, merchandising and operations teams to align inbound supply with warehouse and sales forecasts.

• Build and maintain dashboards and reports using Power BI, Excel, and SQL to provide visibility into stock health and supply risk.

• • Deliver clear, data-led insights to help the business balance availability, cost, and operational efficiency.
