- Career growth; start on a solid $90K base with salary reviews based on performance
- Strong team culture; work with people who value communication, reliability, and teamwork
- Make an impact; the decisions you make every day will directly influence service levels, stock flow, and profitability
Your day-to-day
- Keep on top of stock levels; order what's needed, when it's needed
- Build and maintain strong supplier relationships
- Negotiate the best buying terms, including volume discounts and one-off deals
- Identify and manage slow-moving or excess stock to minimise waste
- Keep sales and warehouse teams updated on product changes or recent arrivals
- Work closely with inventory and operations to ensure accurate stock movement and reporting
About the candidate
- Experience in purchasing or inventory control, ideally in hardware, building, or trade supply
- Strong commercial and negotiation skills
