• Support monthly and event-based variance reporting, cash‑to‑stock reconciliation, and the tracking of supplier shortages/credits to resolution.
• Ensure compliance with Health & Safety, manual handling and security controls, maintaining a safe and professional cellar environment (including hygiene standards).

What You Bring

• Previous experience in goods‑in, stock control, or warehouse/cellar operations (hospitality or retail).
• Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Excel and stock control systems.
• High attention to detail and accuracy in reconciliation.
• Knowledge of beverage products (wines, spirits, beers, and softs) preferred.
