- Title: Supply Chain Coordinator

- Reports to: Operations & Supply Chain Manager
Sataya is representing a growing health and wellness business with stock held across South African and UK warehouses and a number of third-party manufacturing sites. They are looking for a Supply Chain Coordinator to take hands-on control of inventory accuracy, stock availability and shelf life.
Role Overview
This role supports the control and monitoring of inventory across local and international warehouses and third-party manufacturers. Day to day, that means keeping stock records accurate in Sage Intacct, tracking lot expiry dates, managing excess stock and making sure the right product is in the right place at the right time to support sales.
It suits someone analytical with a strong eye for detail, who is comfortable getting into the numbers and raising a stock risk early rather than waiting for it to become a write-off. You will work closely with the Supply Chain Planner on replenishment and demand alignment, and with Brand teams on action plans to reduce expiry-related losses.
The business sells through both an online store and a retail-facing warehouse, so the role also includes proactive replenishment planning for both, with occasional operational support within online stock operations as needed.
Scope of Role:
- Inventory system control: capture and process stock transactions accurately in Sage Intacct, maintain accurate records across all sites, investigate and resolve discrepancies, and support reconciliation between physical stock and system records
- Stock availability and sales support: monitor stock levels against sales demand, identify potential shortages early and escalation, and help balance stock between sites to improve availability and limit excess
- Shelf life and lot expiry: monitor shelf life and expiry dates across all warehouses, track short-dated stock, work with Brand teams on plans to reduce expiry-related losses, and ensure correct lot tracking and batch traceability in Sage Intacct
- Excess and stock level monitoring: identify excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory, review stock at third-party manufacturing sites and UK and South African warehouses, flag over and understocking risks to management, and support transfer recommendations
- Online and retail stock support: follow usage trends and sales patterns to support timely replenishment for the online store and the retail-facing warehouse, working with relevant teams to keep availability high and short-dated risk low
- Procurement support: assist the Supply Chain Planner with purchase orders in line with approved replenishment plans, follow up supplier order confirmations and delivery dates, and keep purchase order records accurate in Sage Intacct
- Stock takes and audits: help coordinate cyclical and annual stock takes, prepare documentation and variance reports, and support audit preparation with accurate backing documents
- Reporting: prepare inventory reports covering stock ageing, expiry tracking, excess and slow-moving stock and availability, and give management regular updates on key risk areas
The Ideal Profile:
- Grade 12 / Matric, with a diploma or certificate in Supply Chain, Logistics or Finance advantageous
- 1 to 3 years' experience in inventory control or supply chain coordination, with exposure to stock analysis and replenishment
- Sage Intacct experience is advantageous
- Basic knowledge of Power BI or similar dashboard and reporting tools is advantageous
- Experience in a manufacturing or regulated environment is preferred
- Strong attention to detail and good numerical and reconciliation skills
- Proactive, and able to spot and escalation stock risks early
- Collaborative, particularly with planning and operations teams, and happy to take a hands-on approach
