Role Overview

This role oversees key administrative tasks across the supply chain, from imports to store delivery, while supporting operations and store controls. Although the position is based at our Head Office in Stellenbosch, the incumbent's focus will be Angola and will assist the CEO Angola and Operations Manager Angola with some of their tasks, which allows them to focus on growth initiatives. The role aims to streamline the import process to enable faster, smaller shipments, reduce costs such as overpaid duties and port fees, and include Vide e Caffè products in consolidated shipments. Enhance stock control by minimising waste, enforcing FIFO practices, and preventing suppliers from delivering short-dated stock.
