• Invoice Processing & Accounts Payable: Match supplier invoices with purchase orders using Xero accounting software, resolve discrepancies, and support the finance team with accurate data entry and reconciliation.
• Product Quality Assurance: Liaise with production units to ensure products meet agreed specifications. Investigate and follow up on any non-conformance issues to maintain high standards.
• Stock & Logistics Oversight: Monitor stock levels and coordinate with suppliers to ensure availability for production runs. You'll help optimise inventory and support logistics across UK and European routes.
• Performance Tracking & Reporting: Record and analyse supplier, caterer, warehouse, and customer performance data to support KPIs and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Operational Support & Collaboration: Attend internal meetings and contribute to team reviews, offering insights and ideas to improve processes. You'll also support the management team with administrative and analytical tasks.
• Occasional Travel: Visit UK and European supply chain partners for stock counts, relationship building, and operational reviews.
