What you would be expected to do
Inbound Operations, Receipt & Profiling
- Coordinate and supervise the receipt of all inbound shipments — ensuring physical inspection, quantity verification, and GRN processing are completed accurately within the agreed SLA for every delivery across all assigned locations.
- Oversee the accurate profiling, scanning, labelling, and system entry of all inbound products in Sun King's ERP/WMS (SAP, Kazi Plan, or equivalent); ensure profiling is completed within 24 hours of receipt.
- Ensure all inbound discrepancies, shortages, or damaged items are identified, documented.
- Assign and supervise associates on inbound tasks; validate their work before sign-off to maintain accuracy standards.
Outbound Dispatch & Order Fulfilment
- Coordinate and supervise the accurate picking, scanning, packing, labelling, and dispatch of all outbound orders and internal transfers — ensuring correct items, quantities, and serial numbers are verified at the point of dispatch.
- Ensure all B2C and B2B network dispatches are executed in full and on time in line with schedules; conduct timely follow-ups with logistics and distribution partners on any anomalies or delays.
- Enforce strict three-way verification on all outbound transactions; prepare, review, and validate all dispatch documentation (waybills, transfer notes, packing lists) for completeness and accuracy before every departure.
- Coordinate loading activities to ensure timely truck departures; minimise delays and optimise turnaround time through proactive scheduling and communication with the logistics team.
Inventory Control, FIFO & Cycle Counting
- Coordinate and participate in daily cycle counts across all assigned warehouse locations; review count results, investigate variances, and escalate discrepancies to the Warehouse & Distribution Manager with root cause and recommended action.
- Enforce FIFO (First-In, First-Out) inventory method across all put-away and retrieval activities in line with best practice; conduct regular FIFO spot checks and take immediate corrective action on any violations identified.
- Monitor stock levels and movement patterns across assigned locations; flag stockout risks, slow- moving inventory, and unexplained variances to the Warehouse & Distribution Manager.
- Ensure all stock movements are accurately recorded in the ERP/WMS in real time; validate associate system entries and correct errors before they accumulate.
- Participate in monthly stock takes, end-of-month reconciliations, and periodic full audits as directed by the Warehouse Supervisor; support the Warehouse Inventory & System Controller with accurate physical count data.
Inter-Warehouse Transfers
- Coordinate and supervise all inter-warehouse stock transfers between the Acme Warehouse and Regional Warehouses — ensuring accurate documentation, correct quantities, system processing, and full inventory accountability throughout.
- Prepare and verify all transfer documentation (transfer orders, waybills, item lists) before shipment; confirm receiving warehouse acknowledgement for every transfer dispatched.
- Reconcile inter-warehouse transfer records in the ERP/WMS within 24 hours of dispatch; investigate and escalate any discrepancy between sent and received quantities immediately.
Aftersales, Returns & Refurbished Product Coordination
- Coordinate the receipt of returned, repaired, or refurbished products from the Aftersales team — ensuring proper storage, accurate inventory recording, and controlled release to partners or vendors only upon receipt of authorized Aftersales requests.
- Manage product return documentation end-to-end — receipt, inspection, system recording, and follow- up on corrective actions — ensuring all returns are fully traceable and resolved promptly.
- Prepare and organize refurbished products for partner or vendor release based on approved requests; ensure accurate picking, complete documentation, and zero unauthorised releases.
Team Coordination, HSE & Operational Reporting
- Assign and supervise daily tasks for warehouse associates; monitor task progress, address shortfalls before end of day, and provide on-the-job coaching on SOPs, system tools, and verification protocols.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and compliant warehouse environment across all assigned locations — enforcing HSE standards, FIFO, access controls, and warehouse etiquette; train and guide associates on safety rules and PPE use.
- Prepare and submit accurate daily, weekly, and periodic operational reports to the Warehouse Lead on schedule — including stock movement summaries, cycle count outcomes, dispatch logs, and transfer reconciliations.
- Analyze data available at coordination level to identify distribution anomalies, operational bottlenecks, or recurring errors; escalate findings with recommendations to the Warehouse Supervisor.
You might be a strong candidate if you

Sun King has built a new kind of energy utility: distributed, green, customer-centric, and affordable. We bring clean, reliable, decentralized energy directly into people’s lives — from solar kits that provide first-time energy access to multi-kilowatt systems that serve both off-grid users and grid-connected customers powering larger homes, schools, hospitals, farms, offices, and light manufacturing.
Already, 25 million homes and businesses rely on Sun King for electricity supply and the appliances and services it enables: lighting, televisions, fans, refrigeration, and smartphones.
Sun King combines energy generation, energy-efficient appliances, installation, and financing into one seamless offering. Think of it as a distributed utility, designed for wherever energy is needed and designed to scale with its users as incomes and energy needs grow.
Sun King makes solar products affordable to low-income households and businesses via ‘pay-as-you-go’ (PAYG) purchase financing. Sun King installs solar after customers pay a small deposit. Customers then make small, manageable payments of as little as US $0.14 a day via mobile money or cash.

Instead of paying for expensive, polluting, and health-damaging kerosene for lighting or diesel for power, customers unlock savings through accessing solar power and after one to two years of payments, customers own their solar equipment outright.
Sun King collects payments digitally through mobile money systems and its 35,000 field agents — over 1 million payments each day. To date, Sun King has extended more than $1.4 billion in PAYG loans to customers.
Sun King began by powering homes and businesses with solar systems delivered through PAYG financing. Now, we’re using the same model to make smartphones and clean cooking equipment affordable: helping households connect to the digital economy and transition from wood-based fuels to modern, sustainable alternatives.
Sun King employs 3,500 full-time staff in 14 countries, with specialties spanning product design, data science, logistics, customer service, sales, software, operations, and more — all with a passion to serve off-grid families. Sun King is committed to gender diversity in the workplace. Women represent 42% of Sun King’s workforce.
