  • Manage inventory levels, shelf-life, and stock aging using FEFO principles to minimize waste
  • Monitor slow-moving items and implement actions to reduce write-offs and improve turnover
  • Coordinate import and inbound supply processes, including supplier communication and documentation
  • Collaborate with logistics and 3PL partners to support efficient stock movement and service levels
  • Provide regular reporting on forecast accuracy, inventory performance, and supply risks
  • Work closely with sales, finance, and operations teams to align planning with commercial priorities
