As a team, we are ambitious, hard-working, fast movers, and we have exceptionally high standards of both our brand experience and business practices.

What we’re looking for:

We're looking for an organised, detail-oriented Operations & Supply Chain Assistant to support our Head of Operations. This is a hands-on, admin-focused role—perfect for someone who loves keeping things in order, communicates clearly, and wants to grow within a purpose-driven food business.

With our growing ops team, you’ll help keep things running smoothly—from warehouse coordination to admin that keeps the engine ticking.

The ideal candidate:

• Exceptionally organised with sharp attention to detail.
• A clear communicator, written and verbal. 
• Comfortable in spreadsheets and picking up new tools quickly.

• A self-starter who flags problems early and will take opportunities to improve processes when they can.

• Some experience in ops, logistics, or supply chain is a bonus, but a great attitude and strong admin skills matter more.

• Has strong accountability and a solid work ethic.

• Has a positive attitude and a tenacious character; things in our business can change quickly, so being comfortable reacting fast to unexpected opportunities and challenges will make this job exciting for you.

• Aligned with the mission and ethics of Citizens of Soil, specifically wanting to progress a mission around turning a commodity into a community to benefit people and planet.

• Enjoys working in small, entrepreneurial, start-up environments.

• Loves food & drink (it’s nice to take pleasure in what you do!)

• Has a current right to work and live in the UK.

• Can regularly commute into the central London office (Farringdon).

Top-level responsibilities:

Order & Warehouse Admin: Help manage day-to-day order processing, liaise with our 3PL warehouse, and flag any fulfilment issues.

• Raising and tracking purchase orders and orders.
• Monitoring stock levels and flagging low inventory. 
• Keeping order records accurate and up to date.

Supplier & Freight Coordination: Support the team in keeping our supply chain on track.

• Helping coordinate shipments and customs documentation.

• Chasing suppliers and freight partners for updates.

• Filing and organising supplier records and certificates.

Data Entry & Reporting: Keep our systems accurate so the team can make good decisions.

• Updating spreadsheets and internal tools with order, stock, and shipment data.

• Helping prepare weekly ops reports and KPI summaries.

• Supporting compliance admin—food safety certs, organic documentation, etc.

In return, you’ll get:

• 28 days holiday, in addition to bank holidays (FT).
• Equity in a scaling business. 
• Private health insurance through Vitality.

• Budget for your professional development.

• Flexibility to support your work-life balance.

• The sense of purpose that comes from working for something bigger than the business itself.

• The finest extra virgin olive oils we can source (we’ll keep you stocked up with the good stuff)!

Diversity & inclusion:

At Citizens of Soil, our vision is for a more fair, sustainable, and flavourful table. And that starts with our team. We’re cultivating a culture of inclusion because we know we need a diverse team to learn and grow. We embrace your unique contributions and will work to ensure you feel a sense of belonging.
