<div>(&amp; You could be too).</div>
<div>We make the best nut butters &amp; snacks you can get your paws on.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Beginning</strong></div>
<div>Pip started Pip &amp; Nut in 2015. After whizzing up nut butters at home (using natural ingredients &amp; nothing else) she was onto something tasty. Her friends agreed. Her family agreed, and soon the people of London’s Maltby Street Market agreed.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The word - and the nut butter - started spreading. Fast. We leapt onto the shelves of Selfridges. Then Sainsbury’s. Then Wholefoods &amp; Ocado. Then Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose, Co-Op, Tesc- you get it.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Middle</strong>&nbsp;</div>
<div>We’re in every UK supermarket, but we’re not done yet (that’s why we need you). We want to keep growing while showing people that tasty food can be good for you &amp; the planet. We’re a B Corp after all. That’s not just a pretty badge. Better business is an all-day, everyday mindset.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Next</strong></div>
<div>We’re nimble: we’re the number one &amp; fastest growing nut butter brand in the UK.&nbsp;</div>
<div>We’re tenacious: next up, we’re taking over snacking.</div>
<div>We’re a B Corp &amp; proud: we’re doing all of that while looking after people &amp; the planet. 10% of our profits go to The Pip &amp; Nut Foundation to support organisations tackling hunger &amp; loneliness in communities.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The squirrels are taking over. Are you in?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>What you’ll be doing</strong></div>
<div>Everyone knows the Supply Chain team is the backbone of a business – you’ll keep things running as smoothly as our nut butter, getting the right stuff rolling off the right lines at the right time. You’ll be in charge of factory performance, production planning &amp; stock management, working with our production partners to keep our jars, tubs, bars &amp; cups moving. If things are off track, you’ll be the first point of call, staying on top of the detail so we’ll have what we need to keep things running in the short term. You’ll be a planning pro &amp; with a ‘fail to prepare, prepare to fail’ mentality, working with our factories to make sure we hit those all-important targets.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>In a nutshell, you’ll be:&nbsp;</strong></div>
<ul>
<li><strong>A leader of the pack.</strong> You’ll be managing a team of two Supply Planners &amp; be responsible for all production planning with our 3rd party manufacturers.</li>
<li><strong>Mastering the balancing act.</strong> You’ll optimise our finished goods stock holding to find the perfect sweet spot between cash flow, service levels &amp; risk.</li>
<li><strong>Keeping the factories (&amp; the UK) fed</strong> by getting our raw material &amp; packaging to the right places &amp; making sure our manufacturers have everything they need to keep up with our production plans.</li>
<li><strong>Building brilliant relationships</strong> with our suppliers so we can keep on top of performance &amp; hit our KPIs i.e., OTIF, Factory Performance &amp; Optimised Stock Holding.</li>
<li><strong>Number crunching</strong>. You’ll play a part in our month end process with stock reconciliations &amp; reporting.</li>
<li><strong>Making every nut count.</strong> You’ll keep an eye out for ways to cut costs, boost efficiency &amp; improve processes.</li>
<li><strong>An essential piece of the packaging puzzle.</strong> You’ll lead on packaging projects like artwork updates or new material changes and making sure we waste as little as possible.</li>
<li><strong>Handling the nutty gritty.</strong> You’ll be in charge of packaging tax and EPR monitoring &amp; reporting.</li>
<li><strong>Collaborating closely.</strong> You’ll work with our Demand Planning Manager to make sure our D2C supply chain is fully stocked and raring to go &amp; grow.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Things we’re looking for (skills &amp; credentials):</strong></div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Experience in a similar role</strong> - ideally in food and drink.</li>
<li><strong>A cool-headed problem solver</strong> who can keep calm &amp; dig into the detail to find solutions.</li>
<li><strong>A confident communicator. </strong>You’re a team player who’s comfortable working across multiple suppliers, factories &amp; squirrels (of course).</li>
<li><strong>A beady eye for analysis.</strong> You’ll have strong analytical skills &amp; the ability to model scenarios to fuel recommendations.</li>
<li><strong>A beady eye for detail.</strong> You’re able to keep up with stock sorting, forecasting, price modelling and production planning.</li>
<li><strong>A project pro.</strong> We need someone organised &amp; structured who’s ready to lead the team on critical projects.</li>
<li><strong>Excel excellence. </strong>You’ll have intermediate to advanced Excel knowledge so pivot tables &amp; VLookups are all in a day’s work.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Hold Up.</strong><br>We're aware that women &amp; people from different minority backgrounds will often only apply for jobs where they meet 100% of listed qualifications*. Don't let that 100% stop you. If this is the role for you and you meet many, but not all, of our asks we still want to hear from you! If there is anything we can do to help you to apply, email <a href="mailto:kim@pipandnut.com">kim@pipandnut.com</a>.</div>

<div><strong>Our Purpose:</strong></div>
<div>Help people love food, that loves them &amp; the planet.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Our Values:</strong></div>
<div>We don’t just focus on what we’re doing (we do a lot), but how we’re doing it. That big ‘how’ makes Pip &amp; Nut unique. It gives us our edge.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>We call it Squirrel Energy.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Squirrel Energy is at the centre of everything we do. Inside &amp; outside The Nest. It’s what we value in our individual squirrels &amp; how we want to be seen as a whole.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Our four values get into the nutty gritty of what squirrel energy is. Have a read:&nbsp;</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>All Paws Together:</strong> While we may be individual creatures, our team spirit is infectious.</li>
<li><strong>Curious by Nature:</strong> Ears pricked at all times ready to discover something about ourselves, our shoppers, our products &amp; the environment around us.</li>
<li><strong>Make Every Nut Count:</strong> Us squirrels will find creative NO, INGENIOUS! Ways to get stuff done.</li>
<li><strong>Take a Leap:</strong> For us, the ability to leap from one tree to another on branches that bend &amp; flex is about being bold, agile &amp; adaptable.</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Other good stuff:&nbsp;</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>We’re a living wage employer &amp; think people should be paid fairly for the work they do. That includes you.</li>
<li>Good news, everyone in our team has a bonus. We don’t hide our calculations either. Your bonus (10% on base plus another 10% on stretch, that’s up to 20% max) is made up of key company &amp; individual performance indicators.</li>
<li>EMI Options scheme [aka Squirrel Share Scheme] - every squirrel plays a key role in growing Pip &amp; Nut, so we all have a piece of the pie (or peanut). For every year you stick with us we’ll give you additional shares to say thanks for the hard work.</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Anything else? Loads actually. From Day 1 you’ll get:</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>25 days holiday plus our “Squirrel Holidays”</li>
<li>Your birthday off</li>
<li>12:30pm finishes on Fridays in August</li>
<li>AND we hibernate for Christmas and shut down so we get a proper rest</li>
<li>3 volunteering days a year to give back to your local community.</li>
<li>Flexible hours &amp; work: we have flexi-time and you can work from home 2 days per week.</li>
<li>Four weeks where you can work anywhere in the world (Mauritius anyone?)</li>
<li>A decent pension contribution (with an option to invest in sustainable funds).</li>
<li>£500 per year to spend on learning something new.</li>
<li>Private health care (Vitality), dental insurance, critical illness &amp; life insurance to keep you ticking over from DAY 1!</li>
<li>Free breakfast in the Nest, a no desk-lunch policy and the bit you’ve been looking for, more nut butter than you can shake your tail at. Hooray.</li>
<li>36 hours working per week: 9am – 5.30pm (Mon-Thu) &amp; an early finish on Fridays at 4pm (yippee!)</li>
<li>&nbsp;A great office, in a great part of town, with an even greater team (that’s a fact).&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Oh nuts!</strong> It might seem obvious but there are a lot of nuts at The Nest. We're often testing, trialing or generally nibbling so if you have a severe nut allergy, please have a think about whether The Nest is the best place for you to be. Drop us a message if you need some more info.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Chat GPT?</strong> We get it. Job applications are tricky. AI platforms, like Chat GPT can be helpful, but pretty please with peanuts on top don't copy &amp; paste an answer for your application. We have beady-eyes &amp; will not accept anything that's obviously AI generated. We want to know the real you, not a robot. You've got this!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Now…what are you waiting for?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
