You’ve mastered the mechanics of inventory. Now power financial inclusion at scale.

You know your way around a warehouse. You’ve optimized stock accuracy, tightened cycle counts, and built teams that execute flawlessly. You’re probably even respected for it. But here’s the question: when was the last time your inventory work directly enabled someone to start a business, power their home for the first time, or transform their family’s economic trajectory?

At M-KOPA, inventory isn’t just about moving boxes—it’s about moving lives forward.

This role: 

Coordinate inventory operations that directly enable financial inclusion for millions. Build reporting frameworks that inform business decisions at the highest level. Lead continuous improvement initiatives that shape how we scale across multiple locations. Your recommendations don’t disappear into bureaucracy—they get implemented because getting inventory right means getting products into customers’ hands faster.

Your impact

You’ll oversee material movement, stock accuracy, and resupply operations across assigned locations, coordinating between material rooms and work areas while leading a team of inventory associates and officers.

On any given week, you might coordinate cross-location inventory operations ensuring thousands of smartphones and solar products move smoothly from receipt to customer deployment. You’ll develop reporting frameworks that give management real-time visibility into inventory accuracy and warehouse performance—data that directly informs our scaling decisions. You’ll plan stock movement strategies that anticipate demand spikes when we launch in new territories or introduce new products. You’ll lead cycle counts and monthly stock takes that involve coordinating multiple team members, validating complex reconciliations, and ensuring every discrepancy is investigated and resolved.

You’ll champion continuous improvement initiatives—implementing 6S methodologies, recommending warehouse layout optimizations, and driving process enhancements that improve efficiency as we scale. When you spot a pattern in returns or defective items, you’ll validate the issue, escalate to the right stakeholders, and recommend process improvements that prevent future occurrences. You’ll coordinate task allocation for your team, ensuring deadlines are met even during our busiest periods, and provide management with insights and recommendations on warehouse performance, risks, and optimization opportunities.

What we need from you

• Demonstrable progressive experience in inventory and material handling operations, including proven success in a supervisory or team lead capacity where you’ve coordinated multiple people and improved operational outcomes.
• Established expertise in ERP systems and advanced Excel proficiency, with the ability to build reporting frameworks, analyze stock data, and translate inventory metrics into actionable business insights.
• Strong track record in leading operational improvement initiatives, including experience championing process optimization, implementing quality standards (such as 6S), and driving measurable improvements in accuracy and efficiency.
