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.

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
Commercial awareness and understanding of cost, quality and service impacts on business performance.
