The role will also support the development and implementation of future inventory and planning systems as the business continues to grow and improve its operational capabilities.

Produce regular inventory, purchasing and planning reports.
Support continuous improvement initiatives within planning, inventory and purchasing processes.
Assist in the development, implementation and optimisation of future inventory management and ERP systems.
Ensure purchasing and inventory activities comply with company policies and controls.

Key Skills & Experience

Proven experience in materials planning, inventory management, purchasing or supply chain roles within a manufacturing environment.
Strong understanding of inventory control principles and material requirements planning.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills with the ability to analyse data and build planning tools.
Experience managing inventory and purchasing processes using spreadsheets, inventory software, accounting systems or similar business systems.
Experience participating in business system improvements or ERP implementations would be advantageous but is not essential.
Strong organisational, analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
Commercial awareness and understanding of cost, quality and service impacts on business performance.
