• Partnership with finance to ensure accurate inventory valuation and reporting.
• Training and support for store teams on inventory procedures and system use.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach to inventory challenges, working both independently and collaboratively

What we offer:

• Join a dynamic team at a renowned South Australian company, known for their innovation and outside-the-box thinking.
• Be a part of the journey, with countless opportunities as we rapidly expand into a nationwide retail powerhouse.
