Associate Consultant – Supply Chain & Operations

Impact Evolve

10d • Remote

About The Position

IMPACT EVOLVE works with ambitious, founder-led brands at the moments that matter most - when growth is outpacing operations, when big decisions cannot afford to go wrong, and when the supply chain needs to evolve to support the next phase of the business. Our clients are brands you will recognise. AKT London. Hawkstone Brewery. Sneak Energy. Nursem. Passenger, RIXO, Legend London, Little Dish. Businesses that are scaling fast, expanding internationally, and making the kind of operational decisions that define their future. We help them get those decisions right. We are not a business that produces decks and reports and moves on. We design the solution, stay accountable throughout delivery, and ensure it actually works. Our team has decades of experience built from inside fast-growing brands - we have felt the consequences of these decisions from the inside, and that is what makes us different.

Requirements

• A degree in supply chain, logistics, or operations is essential
• Genuinely hungry not just ambitious on paper, but someone who takes ownership without being asked and sees every task as an opportunity to learn
• Resilient - you bounce back quickly, take feedback well, and do not need hand-holding when things get difficult
• Happy to do the groundwork - this is a ground-up learning experience by design, and the detailed, unglamorous work is where the best consultants are made
• Someone who gets stuck in a small, fast-moving team means there is no hiding place, and the people who thrive here are the ones who lean into that
• A low ego - as happy doing the groundwork as doing the more visible work
• Analytically strong - comfortable with data, able to build a financial model from scratch in Excel, and draws clear conclusions rather than just presenting numbers
• A strong communicator - written work is structured and precise, and able to express complex ideas clearly in a client-facing context
• Highly organised - able to manage several workstreams simultaneously without dropping anything or needing to be chased
• Detail-oriented - cares about getting things right, not just getting them done
• AI-literate uses tools like Claude or ChatGPT as a natural, default part of how you work, prompts well, and understands where these tools add real value versus where human judgement matters more
