Date posted:

Thursday, May 21, 2026

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

Salary:

550 000

SUMMARY:
There are Supply Chain Coordinators who simply process orders and update spreadsheets… And then there are professionals who understand that procurement execution, inventory accuracy, supplier performance, and operational flow directly influence profitability, customer delivery, and business continuity. This opportunity is for the second type.

POSITION INFO:

A well-established industrial and trading business, within a respected group environment, is seeking a highly analytical and operationally strong Supply Chain Coordinator specialising in procurement and inventory management.

This is not an administrative coordination role. We are looking for a supply chain professional who understands the operational and commercial impact of procurement, inventory control, logistics coordination, and supply chain execution.

The Opportunity:
You will play a critical role in ensuring:

Inventory accuracy
Procurement efficiency
Supplier performance
Logistics coordination
Operational continuity across the business

The environment is fast-paced, highly operational, and process-driven, requiring someone who can manage complexity, maintain control, and drive operational discipline across procurement and inventory functions.

Key Responsibilities:

Coordinate procurement activities and supplier communication
Manage inventory control and stock accuracy across operations
Oversee stock movement, replenishment planning, and inventory optimisation
Handle foreign purchasing and import-related coordination
Drive cycle counts, stock investigations, and stock variance resolution
Support logistics and warehouse coordination to ensure operational continuity
Monitor supplier performance, lead times, and procurement execution
Maintain accurate reporting, inventory records, and ERP system integrity
Collaborate with operational, finance, and commercial teams to support business performance

Minimum Requirements:

Diploma or Degree in:
- Supply Chain Management
- Procurement
- Logistics
- Inventory Management
4–5 years’ experience within:
- Procurement
- Inventory control
- Logistics / supply chain
Exposure to:
- Industrial,
- Manufacturing, and/or
- Trading environments
Strong understanding of procurement workflows and inventory management principles
Experience managing high-value inventory environments

Technical Requirements:

Strong ERP systems exposure:
- Syspro (highly advantageous)
- SAP or similar ERP systems
Advanced Excel capability
Strong reporting, inventory analysis, and operational systems understanding

What We’re Looking For:

Highly analytical and solutions-driven individual
Strong process orientation and operational discipline
Self-driven, accountable, and detail-focused
Strong problem-solving and decision-making capability
Able to manage pressure, operational demands, and stakeholder expectations
A professional respected for structure, execution, and reliability

Why This Role Stands Out:

Exposure to a dynamic and highly operational supply chain environment
Opportunity to influence inventory performance and procurement efficiency directly
Strong operational visibility and ownership within the business
Stable, established organisation with long-term growth potential

Important:
This role is best suited to professionals who:

Understand both procurement and inventory deeply
Thrive in structured industrial or manufacturing environments
Can operate independently while driving operational excellence
Are commercially aware, operationally sharp, and highly analytical

If you are a top-tier Supply Chain Coordinator with strong procurement and inventory management expertise, we invite you to apply for a confidential discussion.
