Job description

Are you naturally curious, exceptionally organised and someone who enjoys figuring out how things work — and how they could work better? We're partnering with an established, growing New Zealand business that supplies retail equipment and provides warehousing and 3PL services to a diverse range of customers. We're looking for a smart, proactive and adaptable person to take ownership of a varied logistics and inventory operation. Someone who enjoys solving problems, working with systems and data, and bringing structure to an environment with lots of moving parts.

The opportunity

Reporting to the GM – Operations, you'll oversee daily logistics, inventory and 3PL activities, working closely with warehouse teams, customers, suppliers and freight providers.

• Coordinating freight, inventory movements and 3PL operations across multiple customers and sites.
• Overseeing warehouse staff and keeping daily operations running smoothly.
• Managing inventory accuracy, stock control, reporting and data.
• Building strong relationships with customers, suppliers and internal teams.
• Identifying risks, solving problems and improving systems and processes.
• Supporting MPI, Customs and operational compliance requirements.

What will make you successful?

• Exceptionally organised: You bring structure to complexity and stay across the details.
• Systems-minded: You understand how things connect and spot opportunities for improvement.
• Curious and resourceful: You enjoy learning, using technology and figuring things out.
• Proactive: You anticipate problems and take initiative rather than waiting for direction.
• Confident with people: You can guide warehouse staff, manage customer relationships and navigate challenges.
• Accountable: You take ownership and look for ways to prevent problems recurring.

What you'll bring

You'll have some practical experience in logistics, warehousing, inventory or operations, along with strong systems capability and confidence working with data.

Experience with ERP systems, intermediate Excel, inventory control or 3PL operations would be advantageous.

We're open-minded about your background. What matters is having the right foundations, genuine interest in logistics and inventory, and the motivation to grow.

Why join?

You'll work alongside an experienced, supportive operations leader in a collaborative, down-to-earth team that values initiative, new ideas and continuous improvement.

It's a varied role with real responsibility and opportunities to develop your skills across operations, systems and leadership.

Interested?
