A Supply Chain Coordinator supports the day-to-day operation of the supply chain, making sure stock, data, orders, and deliveries flow accurately between all aspects of the supply chain. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that suppliers, warehouses, transport teams, and customers receive their deliveries efficiently. By acting as the central link between different functions, you’ll help prevent delays, keep stock levels accurate, and ensure customer expectations are met.
On a typical day, you might review incoming deliveries, update order statuses, track purchase orders, and communicate with suppliers to confirm lead times. You’ll work closely with warehouse teams to ensure goods are received correctly, and with transport teams to check dispatch schedules or book outbound loads. You’ll also support demand planning, inventory management, and customer service teams by providing accurate data, raising queries, or escalating supply issues.
A key part of the role involves monitoring supply chain performance, such as supplier timeliness, stock discrepancies, fulfilment accuracy, or late deliveries, and helping managers resolve issues. This could mean chasing missing paperwork or supporting stock investigations. You’ll also be coordinating with suppliers to resolve shortages or quality concerns.
As the supply chain is time sensitive, communication is constant. You’ll often act as the first point of contact for queries relating to stock, orders, delays, or supplier problems. The role suits people who enjoy coordination, structured work, problem-solving, and supporting busy cross functional teams.
