Supply Chain Operations Manager

At Pinter, we are building an innovative, sustainable and social world of Fresh Beer. Our world-first technology allows people to drink Fresh Beer in the most sustainable way possible. For every Pinter Pack we sell and transport (which is equivalent to about 1L of liquid), we enable our Fresh Beer Community to brew 10 pints at home, which is the equivalent of replacing 17 cans or 10 bottles of shop-bought beer. Since we launched, millions of cans and bottles have been removed from the UK waste stream. And we are only at the beginning.

Our product, on its debut, was listed in Time magazine’s 100 Best Inventions of 2020. We have developed and launched award-winning beer styles and have grown and nurtured a high-engaged Fresh Beer Community. We’re all working hard to achieve our mission: To build an innovative, sustainable and social world of Fresh Beer.

At Pinter, we believe in:

Quality – Quality underpins the products we create, the service we give, and the experiences we deliver.

Value – We deliver huge value by enabling our customers to brew their own fresh beer at home and connect with each other in better ways.

Sustainability – We are a socially and environmentally responsible business. We strive to build the best products that cause no unnecessary harm to the environment and have a positive impact on our communities.

Innovation – We lead by constantly innovating our products and how we deliver them to our community. Our fresh thinking and pursuit of the latest technology ensure this.

Community – Our products create experiences that make life more enjoyable, interesting, and fun! We nurture our community by ensuring we deliver products and services that keep Fresh Brewers at the heart of our business.

We need talented people like you who share our values for the next chapter of this extraordinary journey.
