Location: Llansamlet, Swansea | Full-time | Hands-on operational role | Competitive salary & benefits
Curveball is a Swansea-based multi-channel business spanning wholesale, e-commerce/retail, marketplaces, collectables and games publishing. We are looking for a hands-on Stock Controller to work alongside an existing Stock Controller and protect one of our most important assets: inventory. This is not simply stock-counting or desk administration: move between data and the warehouse floor, investigate discrepancies to root cause and improve the controls that keep stock accurate.
The role
Take ownership of stock and location accuracy across assigned warehouse areas and relevant external storage locations, working closely with the other Stock Controller to provide clear ownership and cross-cover.
Operate risk-based rolling cycle counts, physical checks and location audits, prioritising higher-value, higher-risk and recurring problem areas.
Investigate physical-to-system discrepancies to root cause, maintain clear evidence and ensure corrective actions are completed rather than repeatedly adjusting symptoms away.
Maintain robust control of damaged, quarantined, unidentified, missing and other exception stock and actively manage unresolved issues and ageing.
Maintain clear governance and audit trail around stock adjustments, transfers, rework and other stock-impacting transactions.
Audit stock-impacting warehouse processes and work with operational teams to prevent recurrence of errors.
Use ERP/WMS data, Excel and inventory KPIs to analyse high SKU volumes, identify material exceptions/trends and communicate risks clearly to Warehouse Operations and Finance.
About you
Stock-control, inventory or warehouse experience with strong accuracy and follow-through; high-SKU experience is advantageous.
A hands-on approach: comfortable analysing data and then physically verifying stock, locations and process on the warehouse floor.
Strong attention to detail, integrity and an investigative mindset.
Confidence using ERP/WMS and Excel to filter, sort, reconcile and explain large inventory data sets. Business Central/HelmWMS experience is advantageous.
Self-motivated, proactive and curious: able to spot a risk, investigate it and bring forward a solution without waiting for detailed instruction.
Clear communication and the confidence to challenge appropriately when process or control standards are not being met.
Why join Curveball
You will have real ownership of inventory integrity rather than simply processing counts and adjustments. The role works across the warehouse and with Finance, and there is genuine scope to improve controls, systems and ways of working. We are looking for someone who wants to make stock accuracy measurably better.
