Background

About Ryan Firth

As a senior supply chain and operations professional with 20+ years’ experience in the electrical & industrial sectors, I’ve built my career around driving smarter procurement, streamlining logistics, and leading high-performing teams. From overseeing state-wide operations with Rexel to managing WA’s supply & logistics for Ampcontrol, I’ve remained focused on finding practical, data-backed solutions that reduce costs, improve systems, and support long-term business growth. I have a strong foundation in procurement strategy, supplier negotiations, inventory optimisation, and team leadership – underpinned by an understanding of ERP/MRP systems, compliance, and end to end supply chain processes. Whether leading a complex warehouse relocation, implementing Lean 5S across multiple sites, or reshaping BOM and NPI processes, I approach each challenge with a mix of commercial insight and hands-on leadership. Now, I’m looking to step into a Procurement, Category Management, or broader Operations Management role where I can continue making a tangible impact. I’m especially drawn to environments where there's room to improve systems, lead change, and help teams deliver at a higher standard. I'm open to full-time opportunities across the Perth metro area and can travel or adjust hours to meet operational demands.
