> VirtuHire · South Africa (Remote) · — · Posted 2026-05-05

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

Our client in the US is seeking an organized, detail-oriented coordinator to support day-to-day purchasing and inventory operations. This role is central to keeping the equipment flow accurate and efficient — from the moment they acquire a unit to the time it leaves the warehouse.

### Responsibilities

-   Issue and track purchase orders in the inventory management system.
-   Manage receipts and maintain accurate log entries as inventory moves through the system.
-   Reconcile open POs over time — items may come in partially, be substituted, or change over weeks/months.
-   Handle data loads from multiple sources and allocate costs appropriately.
-   Respond to third-party inquiries about inventory status (sold, scrapped, leased, consigned).
-   Maintain exception logs and flag discrepancies.
-   Support recosting activities and work with the purchasing team to keep records current.
-   Process additions, removals, and status changes in the inventory system.
-   Support scrap and change order processing.

## Requirements

-   Someone who is comfortable working across multiple systems and data sources simultaneously.
-   Strong attention to detail is essential — this role touches a lot of moving parts and accuracy matters.
-   You should be comfortable with structured data entry workflows and inventory or purchasing systems.
-   Able to manage competing priorities without dropping the ball.
-   Excel proficiency — used for reconciliations and data management.
-   Good communication skills — must be comfortable reporting back to third parties professionally.
-   Prior experience in purchasing coordination, inventory management, or equipment operations is a plus.
-   ERP or inventory system exposure is a plus.

**Nice to Have**

-   Accounting or finance background (AP/AR experience valued for future scope expansion).
-   CPA or bookkeeping background.
-   Experience with reconciliation of two-report comparisons.
