Keep the donuts rolling, the warehouse and inventory moving and the numbers adding up

A little about us

At Daniel's Donuts, we're famous for the classics that make people smile – think Nutella-filled goodness, fresh Jam & Cream and plenty more delicious creations.

But behind every great donut is a seriously well-run operation From receiving ingredients and managing warehouse space to keeping production supplied, moving stock and getting orders out the door, it takes great people, strong processes and smart warehouse management to keep everything running smoothly.

We're growing fast, expanding our manufacturing, retail and wholesale operations, and getting ready for the next big chapter in our national growth story.

That's where you come in

We're on the hunt for an experienced, hands-on Senior Inventory Manager to lead both inventory and warehouse operations at our busy Truganina manufacturing plant. It's a dual role: you'll make sure stock is received, stored, rotated, supplied to production and staged for dispatch efficiently and safely, and that what's in Odoo matches what's on the floor – in every location and lot, every day.

This is a role for someone who understands that great warehouse management is about much more than counting stock. It's about creating structure, driving accountability, leading people, improving processes, and making sure the right stock is in the right place at the right time.

You'll be equally comfortable reviewing inventory reports, investigating discrepancies, planning warehouse space and getting out on the floor to make things happen.

Put simply, we need a strong operational leader who knows their warehouse and their inventory,



understands their numbers and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves
