• Provide guidance to support audit readiness and ongoing inventory integrity.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You’re an experienced inventory professional with strong technical capability and the confidence to operate as a trusted SME across multiple sites. You’re analytical, structured and proactive, with a genuine passion for inventory accuracy and operational excellence. You’ll also have:

• Extensive experience managing warehouse inventory systems in a 3PL or similar environment
• Strong exposure to multi-site inventory operations, cycle counting and stocktakes
• Advanced Excel capability and confidence analysing inventory data and trends
• Strong WMS knowledge (e.g. Manhattan, BlueYonder) and the ability to drive system-led inventory control
• Experience developing and embedding standard processes across operations
• The ability to coach and influence operational teams without direct authority
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative, solutions-focused mindset.

In addition to providing proof of work rights and suitable professional referees, progressed candidates will be required to undergo a medical assessment and national police check.
