Kidstuff | Camperdown, Sydney NSW | Full time
Own stock integrity across Australia's leading educational toy retailer
Kidstuff has been putting great toys in kids' hands since ****. Today we run 59 stores across Australia plus a fast-growing webstore — and we're looking for an Inventory Manager who takes real pride in getting stock right, everywhere, every day.
You would be joining at the right time: we're actively investing in automating and integrating our inventory systems across Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Retail Express and Shopify — you won't be maintaining a legacy mess, you'll be helping build what replaces it.
What you'll own
Network-wide stock accuracy — driving stock-on-hand integrity across 59 stores, the warehouse and the webstore, so system SOH reflects physical reality
Cycle count and stocktake programs — designing, scheduling and running structured cycle counts and full stocktakes across the network, with clear standards, store accountability and follow-through
Discrepancy investigation and resolution — identifying variances, negative SOH, phantom stock and adjustment anomalies; getting to root cause rather than just correcting the number
Inventory controls and procedures — building and maintaining the processes that protect accuracy day-to-day: receiving disciplines, transfer controls, adjustment governance, write-off procedures and audit trails
Systems and data hygiene — keeping inventory records clean and consistent across Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (ERP), Retail Express (POS) and Shopify (webstore), and improving how these systems talk to each other
Shrinkage and loss visibility — using data to spot patterns,



flag risks and support loss-prevention outcomes across the network
Reporting and insight — giving leadership and store teams clear, decision-ready reporting on stock accuracy, adjustment trends and inventory health
Reporting directly to the General Manager - you'll have genuine visibility and influence across the network
What you'll bring
3+ years in inventory control, stock management or a similar role — retail strongly preferred
Genuinely strong analytical skills: confident deep in data (advanced Excel essential; SQL or Power BI a big plus) and able to trace a variance back to its cause
Experience running cycle count and stocktake programs across multiple locations
Experience with ERP and POS inventory systems — Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Retail Express or Shopify experience is a real advantage
Sharp attention to detail and a process-improvement mindset — you spot the gap in the procedure before it becomes a gap on the shelf
Clear communication and the ability to hold standards across store, warehouse and support-office teams
A tertiary qualification in Supply Chain or Logistics is welcome, but hands-on experience matters too — some of the best inventory people came up through stores and warehouses
Why Kidstuff
A heritage brand (est. ****) with genuine growth momentum, including an ambitious ecommerce expansion
Report directly to the General Manager — real visibility, real influence
Active investment in modernising and automating our inventory systems — your improvements go live, network-wide
Generous employee discount on Kidstuff products
Training, development and clear pathways for career progression
A cooperative, down-to-earth team based in Camperdown, Sydney
