With multiple business awards between 2016 and 2022 and a rapidly growing team, this business is scaling up - and they need a **Purchasing & Logistics Manager** to help lead the charge.

**Why this role matters**:
As the business grows, they’re implementing a new ERP and Warehouse Management System (WMS), refining their logistics processes, and building stronger supply chain relationships. You’ll be at the centre of it all — managing stock levels, overseeing freight, and driving system improvements that take the operation to the next level.

- **Reporting & Analysis**: Provide weekly updates on inventory, stock movements, and financials via Shopify and Xero.
- **WMS Implementation**: Take the lead on implementing a new Warehouse Management System and integrating barcode/scanner software.
- **Process Improvement**: Review existing processes regularly and suggest improvements to boost efficiency and cut costs.
