Drive root cause analysis and resolution of stock discrepancies.
Collaborate closely with store managers, logistics, and buying teams to improve stock accuracy.
Reduce stock wastage through better processes and proactive insight.
Report on stock performance and identify areas for continuous improvement.

A strong leader with a hands-on approach and excellent team management skills.
Analytical mindset with a passion for solving problems and driving efficiency.
Confident in leading cross-functional collaboration and communicating with senior stakeholders.
Organised, proactive, and excited by the freedom to build, shape, and improve.
