Mō te Tūranga | About the Role

As our Supply Chain Manager, you will take the lead in managing all onsite supply chain operations across the hospital — from the moment products arrive, through to their storage, movement, and use in clinical areas. You will ensure the right items are always available at the right time and in the right place, maintaining accuracy, efficiency, and safety across every stage of the process. With performance measures in place, you will drive a strong focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence.

In this pivotal role, you will oversee inventory management, inwards goods, and storage operations while ensuring all master data and barcode systems are maintained to the highest standard. You will lead key processes such as new product introduction, end-of-life management, and demand planning — balancing availability for procedures with minimal waste and cost. You will monitor stock accuracy, resolve discrepancies, and use insights to recommend smart adjustments that optimise efficiency and reduce aged or slow-moving stock.

As a hands-on leader, you will coach and inspire a capable supply chain team, ensuring they are well trained, supported, and aligned with hospital goals. You will champion safety, compliance, and continuous improvement while building strong partnerships across the hospital's clinical and management teams. This is your opportunity to play a vital part in keeping our hospital running seamlessly — enabling exceptional patient care through a world-class supply chain.

Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and Experience

· Five plus years' experience in inventory management and supply chain, ideally in healthcare or within a complex or multi-site environment.

· Proven leadership experience with a track record of developing, coaching, and managing high-performing teams.
