Puchasing Officer

Keep the Club Moving Behind the Scenes

At Southport Sharks, great experiences start long before our guests and members walk through the door. Behind every restaurant, café, bar, hotel room and event is a well-organised purchasing and stores operation ensuring the right products are in the right place at the right time.

We're looking for a highly organised Purchasing Officer who loves systems, thrives on process and enjoys building strong relationships across the business. This is more than ordering stock.

• Manage purchasing and ordering across multiple departments
• Receive deliveries and ensure goods are accurately receipted and stored
• Maintain inventory accuracy and oversee stock control processes
• Coordinate and complete regular stocktakes and investigate variances
• Work closely with our Executive Chef, Kitchen team and operational leaders to ensure stock levels meet business needs
• Build strong relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Identify opportunities to improve purchasing processes, reporting and efficiencies
• Ensure purchasing complies with company policies and food safety requirements

About you

You'll be someone who enjoys creating order from complexity and takes pride in getting the details right. You're proactive, solutions focused and enjoy working with a wide range of people.

You'll also bring:

• Previous experience in purchasing, inventory or stores management
• Experience using Cooking the Books or a similar purchasing system
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Confidence using inventory systems and Microsoft Excel
• A continuous improvement mindset with the ability to streamline processes
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships across departments
• Hospitality, club, hotel or food and beverage experience will be highly regarded
