Track supply chain costs and identify opportunities for improvement
Support budgeting, forecasting, supplier payments and management reporting

What we're looking for:
At least three years' experience in supply chain, logistics or import operations
Experience managing international freight, customs and import requirements

Strong experience working with 3PL providers and warehouse operations
Knowledge of inventory control, replenishment and order fulfilment
Confidence using ERP or inventory management systems
Robust stakeholder management and supplier negotiation skills
Commercial awareness and experience managing freight and operational costs
Strong analytical, planning and problem‐solving capabilities
Confidence identifying issues, managing provider performance and driving improvements
A relevant qualification in supply chain, logistics, business or a related field

What's on offer:
Broad ownership of the Australian supply chain and logistics function
Opportunity to improve and shape local operational processes
Globally recognised furniture and design brands
Collaboration with suppliers and teams across Denmark and China
Business-paid travel between the Manly showroom and Granville warehouse
Potential international travel to Denmark and China
Join a growing Australian operation backed by a global design group
If you enjoy solving operational challenges, improving third-party performance and taking ownership of complex international supply chains, this is an opportunity to join a respected global design business during an exciting stage of Australian growth.
Please note only successful applicants will be contacted for the next stage of the recruitment process. Thank you for understanding.
