Assistant Buyer & Stock Controller

Location: Perth

Schedule: Monday–Friday : 8:30am – 5pm

About the Role: Are you obsessed with product, brilliant with numbers, and a total master of stock management? We are on the hunt for a driven Assistant Buyer & Stock Controller to join our fast-paced commercial team!
Reporting directly to the Lead Buyer, you will play a pivotal role in keeping our stock flowing seamlessly while driving commercial performance through smart buying and sharp negotiation.

Price Management: Own pricing administration—track cost changes, analyse margins, and implement competitive pricing strategies to hit profit targets.
Range & Strategy Support: Assist the Lead Buyer with range planning, analyse sell-through trends, and identify both top performers and slow movers.
Supplier Relations: Build strong, long-term relationships with vendor accounts while holding them accountable for service delivery and pricing commitments.

About You

The Negotiator: Confident picking up the phone, pushing back on price hikes, and driving a hard (but fair!) bargain.
Data-Savvy: Fully comfortable working with spreadsheets, sales figures, and inventory metrics.
Stock-Obsessed: Thorough understanding of order cycles, safety stock, and lead-time forecasting.
Proactive & Organised: Thrives in a fast-moving environment and takes full ownership of daily workload and deadlines.
