Job description

Surya International is a small, focused team responsible for receiving, storing, and dispatching every Ayurda product to customers across New Zealand and worldwide.

We are looking for a computer-literate, detail-oriented Warehouse Supervisor to join our team in Papatoetoe. In this hands-on role, you will take true ownership of the systems that keep our stock accurate, our suppliers on track, and our orders moving on time.

Hours: 30 hours per week (with the potential to transition to a full-time position in the future).

What You’ll Do

This role balances computer-based inventory management with active warehouse tasks:

Inventory Control: Manage stock using Unleashed (or similar software)—ensuring accuracy, leading regular stocktakes, and generating reports.

Forecasting & Purchasing: Forecast stock requirements and place supplier orders well in advance to account for overseas shipping lead times.

Supplier Relations: Maintain strong working relationships with local and international suppliers.

Fulfillment & Hands-on Tasks: Support daily order picking, packing, and dispatch alongside our warehouse hand. Assist with product assembly, filling, labeling, and general warehouse organization.

Process Improvement: Identify bottlenecks or issues early and implement practical, effective systems.

About You

Here is the updated About You section, incorporated seamlessly with your requirements around honesty, strong work ethic, pride in their work, and the ability to work independently without supervision.

About You

Here is the updated bullet point, expanded to highlight strong computer literacy, Microsoft Office / Excel skills, and data analysis tasks like rate chart comparisons:

Computer & Tech Literate: Proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel for tasks like rate chart comparisons and data analysis). Experience with inventory management software like Unleashed, Cin7, DEAR, NetSuite, or similar is highly desirable.

About You

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a small business environment where you can wear multiple hats and take real accountability. We are looking for an honest, reliable individual who takes genuine pride in their work and is committed to contributing to our team long-term.

Self-Motivated & Honest: High personal integrity with the ability to work productively, accurately, and honestly without constant supervision.

Computer & Tech Literate: Proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel for tasks like rate chart comparisons and data analysis). Experience with inventory management software like Unleashed, Cin7, DEAR, NetSuite, or similar is highly desirable.

Strong Communicator: Excellent spoken and written English, with the ability to present information clearly and concisely.

Proactive & Accountable: You take pride in ownership—spotting potential issues early, following up on tasks, and making sound day-to-day decisions while keeping management informed.

Adaptable: Equally comfortable analyzing stock reports on a computer as you are working hands-on on the warehouse floor.

Systems Minded: Comfortable with systems and reporting. Familiarity with Xero is a bonus (not essential).

Work Rights: Valid NZ work rights are required.

What We Offer

A stable role in a well-established small business with a supportive team.

The opportunity to take ownership and streamline operational systems from the inside.

Immediate start available for the right candidate.
