The Inventory, Warehouse and Logistics Manager (IWL) role is a full-time job, based out of our office/storage locations in Lagos. At times you will travel to solar mini-grid sites in rural Nigeria as well. As the title suggests, this is a position focused on managing inventory, warehouse and logistics relating to operations with a primary focus on tracking movements of materials. Being the IWL Manager will require a lot of double checks, attention to detail and following up on staff to ensure all is done according to process. You are both a people and a process-oriented person and you are enthusiastic at the idea of being useful to others by preempting their needs.
You will be responsible for:
Tracking all stock movements in the company i.e. office, storage locations, solar mini-grids
Other day-to-day procurement activities may include documents delivery, sim card setups, office utilities management, managing suppliers, insurance processing
Management of all the current and future warehouses
Additional responsibilities as they appear, given our growing and evolving company
Thanks to your work, NXT Grid will have a smooth stock management system, a well functioning team and very grateful employees. This means that, while NXT Grid will enjoy smoother operations, local mini-grid developers will experience faster solar mini-grid deployment. In other words, your work will be essential to making operations leaner and faster.
As with many young companies, a lot of the development processes are not yet in place. While this makes the challenge all the more exciting and gives a higher degree of freedom, it also means that you are expected to be independent, resourceful, and able to solve problems: if something is broken, fix it!
