The Stock Controller is a newly created role, reflecting the continued growth and ambitious expansion plans of the business. Operating at the heart of the warehouse function, you'll take ownership of inventory accuracy, stock control and product movement, ensuring goods are efficiently managed and readily available to support business operations.
More than simply maintaining records, you'll play a key role in identifying opportunities for improvement, enhancing processes and supporting operational excellence across the wider business. Acting as the go-to contact for inventory-related queries, you'll help ensure the smooth and efficient flow of products through the warehouse while providing valuable insight into stock performance, trends and potential issues.

- Coordinate the receipt, storage and movement of goods, ensuring inventory is accurately recorded and maintained within designated warehouse locations.

- Act as the primary point of contact for inventory-related queries, supporting colleagues in locating and managing stock effectively.
- Monitor stock levels and product movements, maintaining accurate inventory records and system integrity.
- Investigate and resolve discrepancies, shortages and stock-related issues in a timely manner.
- Coordinate and prioritise outgoing shipments in line with operational requirements and customer commitments.
- Collaborate closely with warehouse, sales support and logistics teams to ensure orders are processed accurately and delivered on time.
- Support regular stock takes and cycle counts, identifying, investigating and resolving any variances.
- Maintain inventory management systems, ensuring all transactions and stock movements are recorded accurately and in a timely manner.
- Identify opportunities to enhance stock control processes, warehouse organisation and operational efficiency.
- Produce and analyse stock and inventory reports, highlighting trends, discrepancies and potential risks where appropriate.
- Ensure all products are stored safely and in accordance with company procedures, health and safety requirements, and best practice.
- Support wider operational and logistics projects as the business continues to grow and develop.
Skills, Experience & Qualifications:
- A minimum of 2 years' experience within a warehouse, logistics, inventory control, stock management or operational environment.
- Sound understanding of stock control principles, inventory management processes and warehouse operations.
- Experience using inventory management, warehouse management or ERP systems.
- Previous experience investigating stock discrepancies, resolving inventory issues and implementing process improvements.
- Strong organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining accuracy.
- Ability to effectively manage multiple priorities, work to deadlines and adapt to changing business requirements.
- Confident communicator with the ability to build effective working relationships across operational, warehouse and support functions.
- Strong problem-solving skills, with a practical and solutions-focused approach.
- Highly organised and methodical, with the ability to plan ahead and manage workload effectively.
