Job description

ABOUT NATOORA

Natoora started close to 20 years ago with a very simple, yet powerful goal to find incredible flavour in fresh produce. Today, our dedication to this mission has grown into an impactful network of over 500 independent growers spanning nine sourcing hubs across three continents. Our mission is clear: to fix the food system at scale by reinstating flavour, nutrition and transparency, all while safeguarding the health of our soils.

Experts in sourcing flavour-first, seasonal fruits and vegetables, we work with hundreds of kitchens and some of the most exciting and influential chefs in London, New York, Miami, Copenhagen, Paris, and Melbourne. However, our commitment to creating a better food system also extends beyond professional kitchens to a strong community of home consumers across the US and the UK. From chefs, to home cooks to schoolchildren, we want to empower everyone to make better food choices and become informed drivers of change. 

Our sourcing efforts also go well beyond fresh produce, tackling multiple facets of the food system at once — from restoring the value of whole grains through bread with our own mill and bakery, Alma, to farming produce directly at Great Fen Farm, and crafting our own range of seasonal dips, soups, and sauces in our Bermondsey kitchen. Whether we’re partnering with independent producers on flavour-first dry goods or developing recipes rooted in our seasonal fresh produce, everything we do is founded on the same principles of seasonality, quality and integrity whilst steadfastly embracing scalability as a source of impact.

On the way, we have been named a Sunday Times Fast Track 100 Company, appeared on the Financial Times’ list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, and proudly received a GQ Food & Drinks Sustainability Award. 

 

ABOUT THE JOB

We’re looking for a bright, mission-driven Stock controller to join our team. You’ll bring your insight and passion to a group with unrivalled knowledge of fruit, vegetables, and specialist produce – all united by a shared commitment to building a radically better supply chain.

With at least two years of experience in the fresh food industry, you’ll have a sharp eye for product quality, warehouse processes and stock control. 

For over fifteen years, we’ve been building a direct, transparent supply chain that connects more than 400 growers and producers across Europe. In this role, you’ll be instrumental in keeping that system running smoothly – using live data to drive availability, reduce waste, and cut non-conformities.

You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days look the same. Highly organised, full of initiative, and a confident communicator, you’ll energise those around you. Above all, you're motivated by a genuine desire to build a better food future.

 Working hours are 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. At Discovery Business Park, St James's Rd, London SE16 4RA.
