Inventory Manager (Sport Signage)

This role sits within THE·TEAM's Sport Signage group, which specialises in racetrack and sports-event signage and offers end-to-end services from creative design and production to logistics, installation and software solutions. The Inventory Manager leads central Inventory & Asset Management in Amberg and ensures Sport Signage understands what assets and inventory it has, where they are, what condition they are in and how they are allocated across the event calendar. The function is designed to support event teams by providing the resources they need without requiring those teams to return to Amberg to manage the whole process themselves.
