- Carry out administrative activities to make sure our bulk orders are processed smoothly
- Analyse forecasted demand from bulk orders to make sure we've got the appropriate stock availability
- Maintain accounts and spreadsheets, keeping track of all bulk order transactions
- Collaborate with our suppliers, partners, and your colleagues to secure purchase order requirements
