Monitor and report on key inventory metrics - stock turn, service levels, wastage and write-offs
Drive continuous improvement in inventory systems, processes and controls
Ensure compliance with food safety, quality and traceability requirements across all inventory handling
What We're Looking For
Demonstrated experience in inventory, supply chain or warehouse management - ideally within FMCG, food or perishable goods
Proven people leadership experience, including managing a small, multi-functional team
Strong understanding of demand planning, stock control and inventory management systems
Excellent analytical and numerical skills, with advanced spreadsheet capability
