We are looking for an experienced Supply Chain Manager to join our growing team.

Key responsibilities include procurement, inventory management, conducting regular audits, analysing data, and maintaining accurate records. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, particularly in VLOOKUPs and Pivot Tables, is essential for effective data analysis and reporting. You will need to work independently in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment, taking the lead in developing and implementing systems and processes that will elevate our supply chain operations to the next level.
