Key Functions / Responsibilities

• Act as a dedicated point of contact across the end‑to‑end supply chain process- consignment, coordinating activities from outbound logistics through to customer delivery and post‑delivery support, ensuring high service levels and compliance with Terumo Australia (TAUS) procedures.

• Be responsible for stock and inventory governance at consignment sites, including regularly reviewing stock on hand against contractual AQ (agreed quantities) and following up on any discrepancies to ensure accuracy, compliance, and product availability.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders (Sales, Clients, Customer Service, RAQA) and external partners (3PL, freight forwarders, hospitals and customers) to support operational continuity and long‑term collaboration.

• Monitor product demand, inventory levels, and market requirements to support informed decision‑making on stock allocation, replenishment, and consignment strategies.

• Manage end‑to‑end product lifecycle activities including system transactions, documentation, and coordination of product handling (e.g. inbound receipts, storage, distribution readiness, and quality requirements such as temperature control where applicable).

• Coordinate consignment operations including stock placement, tracking, reconciliation, and stock take activities in line with Terumo Australia (TAUS) consignment policies and system requirements (SAP/SFDC).

• Support post-stocktake reconciliation by comparing physical inventory counts against system records, identifying discrepancies, and assisting in root cause analysis. Responsibilities include validating stock adjustments, investigating variances (e.g., transaction errors, returns, or unrecorded movements), and ensuring accurate updates in ERP systems such as SAP. The role contributes to maintaining high inventory accuracy, supporting financial integrity, and improving inventory control processes through reporting, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date records in SAP and Salesforce (SFDC) to ensure system integrity, traceability, and compliance with audit and regulatory requirements.

• Ensure regular review of consignment stock levels against agreed contract quantities and coordinate timely actions to address variances and maintain stock accuracy.

• Create, maintain, and govern Standard Operating Procedures and work instructions, ensuring all documents are quality-approved, regularly reviewed, and up to date, supporting compliance, consistency, and operational excellence across consignment processes.
