Inventory Manager - Imonti DC

**Employment Type:** Full\-time  
**Working Hours:** Approximately **11:00 to 23:00, six days per week**. Hours may vary depending on operational requirements. Overtime, weekend work and public\-holiday work may be required.

**Job Summary**

Fresh Bake is looking for a **strong, disciplined and hands\-on Dispatch \& Distribution Manager** to take full operational control of our dispatch department.

This is not a desk\-based management position. The successful candidate must be present on the dispatch floor, actively managing staff, stock, drivers, orders, loading, crates, damages and system transactions.

The role requires someone who can work long and demanding hours, remain focused under pressure and hold employees accountable. You will be responsible for making sure that the correct stock leaves the bakery, the correct quantities are loaded, drivers depart on time, stock records remain accurate and operational problems are resolved before they affect customers.

We are not looking for a passive supervisor who merely observes problems and reports them afterwards. We need a manager who takes ownership, investigates discrepancies and drives the operation until the work is completed properly.

The original offer letter places particular emphasis on daily stock control, ERP accuracy, FIFO, crate accountability, driver management, same\-day dispatch, damaged\-product handling and maintaining an organised dispatch area.
