VirtuHire · Remote · South Africa

Our client in the US is seeking an organized, detail-oriented coordinator to support day-to-day purchasing and inventory operations. This role is central to keeping the equipment flow accurate and efficient — from the moment they acquire a unit to the time it leaves the warehouse.

Responsibilities

  • Issue and track purchase orders in the inventory management system.
  • Manage receipts and maintain accurate log entries as inventory moves through the system.
  • Reconcile open POs over time — items may come in partially, be substituted, or change over weeks/months.
  • Handle data loads from multiple sources and allocate costs appropriately.
  • Respond to third-party inquiries about inventory status (sold, scrapped, leased, consigned).
  • Maintain exception logs and flag discrepancies.
  • Support recosting activities and work with the purchasing team to keep records current.
  • Process additions, removals, and status changes in the inventory system.
  • Support scrap and change order processing.

Requirements

  • Someone who is comfortable working across multiple systems and data sources simultaneously.
  • Strong attention to detail is essential — this role touches a lot of moving parts and accuracy matters.
  • You should be comfortable with structured data entry workflows and inventory or purchasing systems.
  • Able to manage competing priorities without dropping the ball.
  • Excel proficiency — used for reconciliations and data management.
  • Good communication skills — must be comfortable reporting back to third parties professionally.
  • Prior experience in purchasing coordination, inventory management, or equipment operations is a plus.
  • ERP or inventory system exposure is a plus.

Nice to Have

  • Accounting or finance background (AP/AR experience valued for future scope expansion).
  • CPA or bookkeeping background.
  • Experience with reconciliation of two-report comparisons.
