Junior Operations Manager

Important note: This job is for you who want to find solutions where there yet are none, for the one who gets excited by a fast phase rather than discouraged. The upside to come in early on this international expansion journey and with near unlimited growth opportunities within the company.

We are not looking for the most impressive CV, we are looking for that exceptional someone who goes out and get stuff done and makes a structure so that can be done again and again...

Coffydoor | Remote (UK preferred) | Fractional or Full-time

Coffydoor is one of Sweden's highest-rated coffee brands, built around a simple philosophy: 100% Better Mornings, 0% Nonsense. By combining the Italians craftsmanship that has been passed through generations with the latest research and science on coffee and it's health benefits we are set out on a mission to deliver better mornings all across Europe.

Over the past year we've built a strong subscription business in Sweden and recently expanded into the UK, where we're now growing rapidly. As we scale, we're looking for someone who wants to build the operational foundation that allows the business to grow without adding unnecessary complexity.

This isn't a traditional Operations Manager role.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys solving operational problems, building systems, and creating structure. Someone who naturally questions manual processes, enjoys improving workflows, and believes great operations should be almost invisible because everything simply works.

You'll work closely with the founder, our Customer Experience Lead, developers, warehouse partners and external finance and growth team to ensure our operations continue to scale alongside the business.

What you'll be responsible for

Your role is to build operational infrastructure that allows Coffydoor to scale efficiently.

That means staying ahead of inventory rather than reacting to stockouts, ensuring suppliers and warehouses stay aligned, improving visibility across the business, and continuously identifying opportunities where systems, automation and AI can replace manual work.

You'll become the primary operational owner across purchasing, inventory planning, fulfilment and logistics, while working closely with our Customer Experience Lead to ensure operational improvements translate into a better customer experience.

As the business grows, you'll also help drive continuous improvement across our operational systems, making sure our tools, processes and reporting evolve alongside the company.

Success in this role isn't measured by how busy you are, it's measured by how much smoother the business runs because of the systems you've built.

We're looking for someone who...

• Has experience operating within a fast-growing DTC or e-commerce business.
• Understands how inventory, purchasing, fulfilment and customer experience all connect.
• Has a strong understanding of Shopify and the wider e-commerce ecosystem.
• Thinks in systems rather than spreadsheets, and naturally looks for opportunities to automate repetitive work.
• Is comfortable using AI to improve workflows, documentation, reporting and operational efficiency.
• Enjoys solving problems, taking ownership and continuously improving how a business operates.
• Understands operational profitability and how decisions around suppliers, logistics and fulfilment impact margins and cash flow.
• Communicates clearly, builds strong relationships with external partners, and is comfortable working across different teams.

Experience with subscription businesses, inventory forecasting, ERP/WMS systems, Gorgias or similar customer support platforms, and managing external warehouses or 3PL partners is highly valued.

Why Coffydoor?

We're still early enough that your work will have a direct impact on how the business operates for years to come.

This isn't about maintaining existing processes, it's about building them.

You'll work closely with the founder as we continue expanding internationally, with significant ownership and freedom to shape how operations should look as the business scales.

For the right person, this role offers the opportunity to grow into a long-term operational leadership position as the company continues to expand.

Working arrangement

We're flexible on how this role starts.

For the right person, we're happy to begin on either a fractional or full-time basis, with a clear path towards a permanent leadership role as Coffydoor continues to grow.
