IN A NUTSHELL

As our Junior Retail Operations Manager, you will own the operational flow from retail deal closure to the first successful delivery.

You will ensure that orders, product data and inventory information are accurate across our retail channels, Xentral and logistics partners. When information is missing or systems do not align, you will follow up, resolve the issue and keep the order moving.

This individual-contributor role is ideal for someone who enjoys structured routines, works carefully under time pressure and takes satisfaction in seeing a process through from start to finish.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the operational flow of retail and B2B orders from deal closure to successful delivery.
• Ensure orders move correctly through retail channels, Xentral and our logistics provider.
• Maintain accurate product, pricing, SKU and EAN data across all relevant systems (Markant /Atrify).
• Identify and resolve data mismatches, sync errors and delivery issues before they affect customers or retail partners.
• Proactively chase missing information and push back when incomplete data puts deadlines at risk.
• Coordinate closely with Supply Chain on stock availability, purchase orders and production timelines.
• Help document and improve scalable processes while supporting an on-time delivery rate above 95%.
• You will be part of the Supply Chain Team and report directly to the Head of SCM

• You have intermediate to advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills.
• You understand basic retail and logistics terms such as SKUs, EANs and pallets.
• You work with strong attention to detail and stay organized under tight deadlines and changing priorities.
• You communicate proactively, follow up confidently and take ownership until an issue is fully resolved.
• You speak English at C1 level and German at B1 level or higher.
• You are based in Berlin or willing to relocate. We follow an office-first, remote-friendly work model: Each team has two fixed office days per week to foster collaboration and in-person exchange.

• We offer a company pension plan and support you with an allowance of 15%
• We will subsidize your Urban Sports Club membership and lunch.
