Overview
Motley is looking for someone to drive the performance of our end to end supply chain, alongside the business insights to accelerate our growth. This role will suit someone who’ll love working across a spectrum of operations disciplines, from forecasting to production, to logistics – while identifying opportunities to automate, innovate and scale. Who are we? Our vision is to enable the creativity of the most talented jewellery designers, and make their designs available to the people. In other words, finish what Bauhaus started. We are a VC-backed challenger brand with a new model to make great design scalable and affordable. Our platform enables us to collaborate with the world’s leading jewellery designers on one-off collections. The designers design for us, then we make their designs – bringing unknown and underappreciated design talent to the mass market, and making great jewellery design affordable. Our supply chain combines the fine jewellery atelier concept (craft-based, small volumes) with the fashion jewellery manufacturing at scale, allowing for small batches and waste-free production. We invest in the quality of our materials and production, rejecting fast-fashion, creating products that last and driving sustainable and clean practices into an industry in desperate need of it.
