The Tradelink Opportunity
With a network of more than 200 branches and 150 years in the industry, Tradelink is Australia's trusted name in plumbing supplies. Tradelink is part of the Fletcher Building group - a group that manufacture and distribute world-leading building and construction products in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, with group sales in excess of $7 billion with a diverse team of 14,500 people.
About The Role:
Reporting to the National Distribution & Logistics Manager, the State Inventory Manager will drive our QLD branch network inventory efficiencies to deliver on the Tradelink vision "To be our customer's first choice".
Your day to day will include:
- Reducing network stock losses through cycle count and adjustment compliance
- Reducing stock days/SLOB via network range management (Primary/Trial Range)
- Managing problematic stock out of the business through education, policy enforcement, and KPI reporting
- Reviewing, revising and implementing new/refreshed inventory policies
- Managing process compliance through education, policy enforcement, and KPI reporting
- Reviewing and managing system settings to optimise network inventory
- Approving Network Purchase Orders as required
Ready for the challenge? Here's what you'll need.
- You have a strong commercial mindset with strong influencing skills and high-level communication skills. You are a critical thinker who rigorously questions assumptions rather than accepting them at face value.
- You possess hands-on experience within the supply chain/inventory management - ideally within a multi-site retail environment. You are flexible with travel to guide and support our branch network with their supply chain and inventory efficiencies.
- For technical skills, you are familiar with the Microsoft Office suite with intermediate Microsoft Excel skills. It will be an added advantage if you have been exposed to SAP software in the past (we use JD Edwards).
