• Inventory & Asset Tracking: Maintain accurate records of incoming materials, equipment inventory, and serial numbers within the ERP/procurement system across partner and Nscale-built facilities.

• Documentation & Compliance: Review shipping manifests, commercial invoices, bills of lading, and import/export documentation to ensure full regulatory and trade compliance.

• Invoice Verification: Perform three-way matching (PO, receiving report, invoice) to ensure billing accuracy prior to finance sign-off.

About You (Skills / Qualifications)

• Experience: 2–4 years of experience in purchasing, procurement, logistics coordination, or supply chain operations (experience within IT hardware, data centres, manufacturing, or heavy tech infrastructure is a strong plus).
