  • Assisting Purchasing and Inventory Manager in analysing and improving supply chain KPIs.
About You

  • Demonstrated five years experience in a similar role within a supply chain environment.
  • Solid understanding of Import Purchasing processes and documentation with current knowledge of external factors that could impact availability of goods and pricing.
  • Demonstrated experience in Supplier Relationship Management (SRM).
  • Strong skills in ERP/MRP systems and MS Office as well as advanced analytical skills for reporting.
  • Well developed communication, negotiation and influencing skills to liaise with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
