This long-standing business unit is a leading manufacturer of process equipment which is sold into many domestic and international markets including mining, recycling, cement, food processing, and other material handling and manufacturing industries.

Job Purpose:

As Assistant Manager – Stores you will be at the centre of a globally compliant supply chain, ensuring seamless inventory flow, strict regulatory adherence, and operational excellence within an Export Oriented Unit. You’ll play a critical role in maintaining audit-ready systems, driving process discipline, and enabling smooth coordination between production, logistics, and global stakeholders.

  • Act as the key interface for compliance, customs processes, and regulatory audits.

Material Movement & Global Coordination

  • Oversee end-to-end material movement across EOU, SEZ, and DTA channels.
  • Ensure smooth coordination with customs authorities and accurate documentation for import/export transactions.
  • Drive transparency in material tracking, consumption reporting, and job work accounting.

Inventory Excellence & Control

  • Lead inventory accuracy, stock control, and reconciliation processes.
  • Drive cycle counts, physical audits, and variance analysis with corrective actions.
  • Implement best practices in FIFO/LIFO, ABC analysis, and inventory optimization.

Safety, Systems & Continuous Improvement

  • Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and ISO standards (ISO 9001 & ISO 45001).
  • Implement best practices like 5S, JIT, and efficient material handling systems.
  • Play a key role in ERP/MRP implementation and digital transformation initiatives.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Impact

  • Lead and develop the stores team with clear accountability and performance focus.
  • Collaborate closely with Production, Quality, Logistics, and Finance teams to ensure uninterrupted operations.
  • Drive structured processes, accountability, and continuous improvement culture.

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years of experience in Stores/Inventory/Logistics within manufacturing (preferably EOU/export-oriented setup).
  • Strong expertise in customs compliance, EOU regulations, and statutory documentation.
  • Proven experience managing high-volume inventory in engineering/heavy manufacturing environments.
  • Hands-on experience with ERP systems and process-driven organizations (MNC exposure required).
  • Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong verbal/written communication skills in English
  • Effective people management skills including delegation, feedback, coaching & mentoring

Why Join Us:

  • Be part of a global MNC with a strong legacy and growth opportunities.
  • Work closely with export/import processes and international practices.
  • Opportunity to move into senior supply chain / plant operations roles.
  • Be part of transformation journey - ERP implementation and process excellence initiatives.
  • Working days- Monday-Friday
  • Health Insurance for self and family.
  • Profit Sharing programme.
  • Multiple Employee centric and well-being support programmes
