Allocate stock across order priorities and ensure high-value orders are prioritised
Manage backorders and coordinate inbound SKD (Semi Knocked Down) shipments
Ensure system accuracy across Autocart, ENatis, and supplier portals
Facilitate financial release confirmations and support finance compliance
Deliver excellent service through proactive dealer and customer support

What You Bring

3+ years in inventory or order management (automotive or logistics sector preferred)
Strong system skills (Autocart, ENatis, or similar platforms)
Detail-focused with proven FIFO and stock control experience
Excellent coordination and stakeholder communication skills
A proactive, solutions-driven mindset and ability to thrive under pressure

What Success Looks Like

Inventory aligned with demand, accurate in system and on floor
Seamless SKD processing and fast-tracked backorder fulfilment
Sales, logistics, and customer service working in sync thanks to your oversight
