You’ll be stepping into a new, purpose-built distribution centre, working across a complex, high-SKU environment with a mix of manual operations and automation.
The role sits right at the centre of the operation; if inventory isn’t right, nothing works.
We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys inventory. Someone who gets curious when numbers don’t match, digs into the detail, and takes ownership of fixing it properly.
What you’ll be doing
Owning end-to-end inventory accuracy across the DC
Leading a small team responsible for cycle counts, stocktakes and investigations
Managing reconciliation across WMS and ERP systems
Investigating discrepancies and resolving root causes
Overseeing SKU master data and system integrity
Supporting a new operational model (replenish, pick, count, put-away)
Working alongside automation systems and exception handling processes
Driving continuous improvement across inventory processes
What we’re looking for
Proven experience in inventory management (not just exposure)
Strong background in cycle counts, reconciliation and stock accuracy
Comfortable working across WMS and ERP systems
Analytical, detail-focused, and naturally curious
Solid leadership experience; able to manage and develop a small team
Someone who is hands-on and happy in the detail
Experience in retail DC, FMCG or 3PL environments will put you in a strong position.
What’s in it for you
Be part of a brand-new DC setup with modern systems and automation
High-impact role with real ownership
Opportunity to shape processes and improve how things are done
Stable business with strong market presence
Competitive salary and long-term career potential
If you’re someone who enjoys solving problems, improving systems, and taking ownership of inventory performance apply now or reach out for a confidential chat with Amanda on 021520643
