CF has scaled up from a humble team of booksellers to a sophisticated global team which handles more than 1.5 million orders every day. The team is the foundation of our business and its efforts have helped us diversify across new regions and services. With the help of emerging technology, we’re always looking for ways to offer a bigger, better product range - delivered quickly and affordably. The CF team are the first people in the chain that helps customers get products at the speed we’re known for. Our fulfilment centres are sometimes referred to as the ‘First Mile’ because it’s where most Amazon packages start their journey. We help to manage dynamic inventory and facilitate speedy deliveries round the clock.

Your responsibilities could include anything from capturing and analysing data around KPIs, building investment models, planning resources for busy periods, driving savings projects or making data-backed business decisions around controllership and network design. Within the team, we help to shape the strategies that ensure we operate in a way that’s commercially rewarding and fiscally responsible.
