About Indigo Wine

Established in 2003, Indigo Wine has won the Specialist Merchant of the Year for Spain Award at the International Wine Challenge ten times.  We work directly with small growers from all over the world who tend towards an artisanal approach, with a strong focus on Spain. Our customers cover Michelin-starred restaurants to Gastropubs and Independent Merchants to National Retailers.  We are a highly respected name in the UK wine trade, founding members of New Wave South Africa tasting and instigators of the celebrated Viñateros event. Due to a restructuring of the business this exciting new role has been created.

 Who are we looking for?

A highly experienced logistics professional to support our day-to-day operations and streamline our work processes.

·        Oversee stocktakes and apply best practice in stock management with LCB

·        Collate and provide UK import documents in compliance of the new Brexit requirements

 Skills & Experience

·        Strong written and spoken English 

·        Advanced organisational skills including proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel 

·        An approach to getting things done quickly and to a high standard — an eye for detail is key

·        Management skills and experience a real advantage 

·        A commitment to high levels of customer service

·        Comfortable working in a high-paced environment, juggling more than one task at once

·        Ability to work independently and within a team. 

·        Proficiency in languages, especially French and Spanish would be an advantage

  Benefits
