This is a new position and it is the one that keeps the business supplied. You will own what we buy and what we hold. Raising purchase orders, running the monthly purchasing cycle, setting stock levels, and making sure the parts are there before the job needs them. You will also keep our bills of materials right and release the assembly orders that tell the factory what to build.

Alongside that you are a key part of our sales desk. Answering customer calls, entering orders, quoting, and giving people straight answers about where their order is. Our customers are workshops and installers with trucks off the road, so looking after them well matters as much as the planning side. Over time you will build real knowledge of the product range, which is what turns a coordinator into the person everybody asks.

Nobody currently owns this end to end, which is exactly why the job exists. You will be given it to run.
