As Senior Material Controller, you are accountable for the end‐to‐end governance of inventory across the organisation. You ensure inventory accuracy, compliance, cost control, and material availability to support production, service, and export operations.
You lead a team of three, drive disciplined material controls, manage obsolete and excess stock, oversee model transitions, and deliver high‐quality reporting and analytics to support data‐driven decision‐making.

Who You Are
You are disciplined, analytical, and process‐driven. You notice discrepancies others miss and act before small issues become systemic problems. You are comfortable working with data and equally comfortable holding people accountable. You lead with clarity and follow‐through, setting high standards while supporting team development. You thrive in a manufacturing environment where operational precision matters. You remain calm under pressure, think in systems, and make decisions based on evidence, not assumptions. You take ownership of outcomes and continuously look for ways to improve inventory health, reduce waste, and strengthen controls.
