**Role overview**

You'll support the supply chain team at a UK business — raising purchase orders, chasing suppliers, and keeping delivery schedules and records accurate.

-   Keep supply chain documentation organised and traceable

**What you'll need**

-   Experience in purchasing, supply chain or order administration
-   Confident in Excel or Google Sheets for tracking and reporting
-   Comfortable chasing suppliers by email and phone
-   Strong attention to detail on quantities, prices and dates
-   Organised approach to a high volume of open orders

**Nice to have**

-   Exposure to an ERP such as SAP, NetSuite or Sage
-   Understanding of lead times and reorder points
-   Experience with import or freight documentation

**What's on offer**

-   100% remote, working from anywhere in South Africa
-   UK business hours, 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST)
-   Direct exposure to an established UK business
-   Long-term, stable placement with room to grow
