The Role

If you’re someone who notices when stock doesn’t quite add up, this will be right up your street

You’ll be leading the inventory function on shift, making sure stock is accurate, accounted for, and where it should be. Not just reacting when things go wrong, but staying ahead of it

This is a hands on leadership role where you’ll be managing people, processes, and stock control all at once. You’ll be the one making sure the operation doesn’t grind to a halt because of avoidable errors

You’re not just counting stock here, you’re owning it

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading a team responsible for stock control, cycle counts and inventory accuracy

  • Tracking stock movement and investigating discrepancies

  • Coordinating with supervisors to plan workload and priorities

  • Ensuring stock is stored, handled and recorded correctly at all times

  • Supporting inbound and outbound operations to maintain stock accuracy

  • Training and developing team members on inventory processes

  • Monitoring performance and productivity across your team

  • Maintaining systems and ensuring data accuracy across stock records

  • Supporting audits, stock takes and reporting requirements

  • Escalating issues quickly and putting fixes in place

  • Driving improvements in processes to reduce errors and inefficiencies

  • \Leading by example on the floor and setting the standard

What You’ll Need

  • Previous experience in inventory, stock control or warehouse operations

  • Some leadership or supervisory experience or ready to step up

  • Strong attention to detail and problem solving ability

  • Confidence working with systems and data

  • Good understanding of warehouse processes and stock flow

  • Experience with MHE or warehouse equipment is a plus

  • Comfortable working in a fast paced environment

  • Strong communication skills and ability to manage a team

What You Might Not Like

  • Rotating days and nights which is not for everyone

  • It’s detail heavy and accuracy really matters

  • You’ll be expected to investigate issues and not just flag them

  • You’ll be balancing people management with operational demands

What To Do Next

If you’re someone who takes pride in getting stock right, leading a team properly, and improving how things are done, this is a solid opportunity
