If you're currently leading a stock or inventory team, enjoy getting into the detail and thrive on solving stock issues before they become operational problems, this could be exactly what you've been looking for. We're looking for someone whose background is genuinely stock and inventory focused. Someone who understands stock integrity, lives and breathes inventory accuracy and knows their way around WMS systems, investigations and root cause analysis. The hiring team are keen to find a specialist rather than a generalist, as this role is dedicated to protecting stock accuracy from day one.

- Leading and motivating a team of Stock Controllers.

- Investigating stock discrepancies and carrying out root cause analysis.
- Maintaining accurate stock records across WMS and ERP systems.
- Producing stock reports and analysing inventory data.
- Working closely with Warehouse, Goods In and Goods Out teams to resolve stock issues.
- Driving continuous improvements to stock processes and warehouse accuracy.
- Supporting audits and ensuring compliance across all stock activities.
- Coaching and developing your team to deliver consistently high standards.
What we're looking for:
This role will suit someone who has worked as a:
- Stock Control Team Leader
- Inventory Team Leader
- Inventory Supervisor
- Senior Stock Controller
- Inventory Controller looking for their first leadership role
You’ll also need:
- A strong stock control or inventory background.
- Experience investigating stock discrepancies.
- Excellent knowledge of WMS and ideally ERP systems, understanding how they work together to maintain stock accuracy.
- Experience leading or mentoring a small team.
- Excellent attention to detail.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Confidence working independently and taking ownership of stock integrity, even when working across the warehouse.
- Good Excel and reporting skills.
What's on offer?
- £33,000 per annum
- Monday-Friday role (approx. 8am-4pm mid-shift) with flexibility to work across early and late shifts.
- Wellingborough location.
- Join a growing warehouse operation where stock accuracy is a genuine priority.
- The opportunity to shape processes, develop a team and make a visible impact from day one.
- A business that values people who take ownership, solve problems and continually look for ways to improve.
If you're someone who takes pride in getting stock right, enjoys investigating the 'why' behind discrepancies and wants to lead a specialist stock team rather than simply oversee warehouse operations, we'd love to hear from you.
