MOO set out to shake up the world of print back in 2006. And we’ve come a long way since. Today we’re a 400 + strong team (we’re thinking of getting matching jackets) who create print and digital products for companies of all sizes – from Google and AirBnB to the guy who makes those amazing prints you found at a craft fair. 
 
Our global HQ is in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you’ll find us in Boston, MA Denver, CO, and East Providence, RI

We’re making new and exciting things – and we could really do with your help. 

As a Vendor Specialist, you will be the pivotal link between MOO and our third-party customization partners. Your expertise will guide the management of vendor performance and foster robust partnerships. You will oversee the onboarding of innovative products and streamline efficiency, actively enhancing our operational processes and product range.

The successful candidate will manage day-to-day partner performance as well as key initiatives and new product development efforts. Accountable for delivering the artwork requirements, pre & post production operations services to both internal stakeholders and third party partners , as well as the associated programs of change in line with the onboarding strategy including driving the physical and digital pack agenda. The successful candidate must be efficient and highly organized to manage multiple projects, develop collaborative internal and external partner relationships as well as work independently while meeting expected deadlines. The role will have accountability for integration into MOO's systems, with all third party partners sites to ensure partners are onboarded for scalability.

Each customer is special to us and each order is unique - we want to drive our growth through fantastic customer service supported by our back office. We are currently operating with a series of partners that have limited capacity (namely, due to their size or their existing integration). Our stock management and partner monitoring are also relatively immature in monitoring performance and managing stock levels across a distributed partner network. As we plan to increase in volume over time we must prepare and mitigate potential disruptive issues as we handle limited capacity and increased lead times. We need to plan for the scaling of our network in line with proposed sales growth timelines in order to be sustainable.

The person we appoint to this role will be an effective communicator, enthusiastic, imaginative, optimistic and keen to work as part of a team. The ability to develop and maintain strong relationships with partners is critical, as is the ability to master new softwares on the fly
With a good knowledge of PDF files you will work closely with our customer service team and our suppliers ensuring orders are completed promptly and optimally for highly efficient, next level production.
What’s it like to work at MOO? 
MOO’s the kind of workplace where you can really be yourself. Dye your hair purple. Hit the sofa with your laptop. Whatever helps you feel comfortable and happy at work. We want to help you grow in your career and set you up for success – while also recognizing the importance of a healthy work/life balance.

That’s why we offer 22 days’ PTO plus Federal holidays, a 401(k) match, MOO stock option program, paid parental leave and we’ll cover 100% of your health, dental and vision care premiums. We’ll also cover you with life insurance and long-term disability insurance, and we offer a wellness program too. Finally, we’ll treat you to breakfast and fresh fruit every day, lunch on Fridays and all the ice cream you can eat (just watch for the brain freeze).
