INVENTORY OPERATIONS SPECIALIST
PARTS & ACCESSORIES | TOYOTA WA | CORPORATE HEAD OFFICE
This is a role for someone who wants to understand how the engine really runs.
The Inventory Operations Specialist sits at the heart of Toyota WA's Parts & Accessories operation, based at their Head Office in Kewdale, where inventory, pricing, overseas supply and dealer demand all come together. It's operational, commercial and hands on, with real influence over how stock moves, how issues are resolved and how the WA dealer network is supported.
You'll work closely with the Manager – Supply Chain Kaizen and a highly experienced team, contributing to decisions that impact availability, cost, dealer satisfaction and performance across the WA network.
This is not a passive role.
It rewards curiosity, accountability and people who don't just follow process, but improve it.
Toyota WA is part of the Perron Group and operates within The Perron Way, a values led culture built on doing the right thing, valuing one another and working together.
It's a Head Office environment where integrity, respect and accountability matter, where people are supported to do their best work, and where continuous improvement is part of everyday thinking. Giving back to the community is also a core part of how the Perron Group operates, with a genuine focus on making a positive impact beyond the business.
WHAT YOU'LL BE TRUSTED WITH
This role has breadth, and it matters.
• Managing inventory pricing processes and reviews
• Coordinating overseas and accessory order processing and warehouse receipts
• Tracking and supporting new model and facelift accessory supply
• Managing accessories to balance availability and excess stock risk

• Overseeing outgoing damage and warranty processing to minimise cost exposure
• Contributing to inventory reform and Kaizen initiatives across the WA dealer network
• Supporting forecasting, replenishment and performance reporting
• Building strong working relationships with dealers, sales and internal stakeholders
Toyota's Kaizen philosophy underpins this role. If you're not already familiar with it, we encourage you to take a moment to understand it before applying. Toyota is also continuing to evolve its systems landscape, so exposure to ERP environments, including SAP, may be beneficial as systems develop.
WHAT MAKES SOMEONE SUCCESSFUL HERE
This role suits someone who wants responsibility and earns it through how they show up.
• Experience in inventory, supply chain, operations or parts environments
• Strong judgement and comfort working with data, pricing and stock movement
• Confidence dealing with dealers and internal stakeholders
• A practical problem solver who spots issues early and follows them through
• Someone who takes pride in accuracy, consistency and getting things right
• A Kaizen mindset and genuine interest in improving how work is done
THE BIGGER PICTURE
This role offers exposure to the commercial and operational decisions that sit behind Toyota WA's Parts & Accessories performance. For someone who demonstrates capability, initiative and sound judgement, there is scope to broaden responsibility over time.
Progression here isn't about titles.
It's about trust, influence and impact.
