We are looking for someone who understands how stock moves through an end-consumer/e-commerce business and can confidently investigate discrepancies, reconcile information from multiple systems and identify the underlying reasons behind stock variances. The ideal candidate does not necessarily need to come from a traditional accounting background . Strong experience within Amazon, e-commerce, retail, DTC or another end-consumer product business is particularly valuable, alongside practical experience in inventory planning, stock reconciliation, replenishment and supply chain operations.

Advanced Excel skills with the ability to pull, reconcile, analyse and structure large volumes of data. Experience working with ERP, inventory management or marketplace systems. Strong analytical and problem-solving ability. Excellent attention to detail. The Type of Person We're Looking For You will be someone who is naturally curious and investigative . When a reconciliation does not balance, you will not simply report the difference - you will work through the available data, speak to the relevant people and determine what caused it. You should be comfortable working autonomously in a remote environment and proactively reaching out to colleagues for information rather than waiting for answers to come to you. The role requires a genuine self-starter who takes ownership and follows issues through to completion. Ideal Background Candidates could come from backgrounds such as: Inventory Planning / Inventory Analysis Supply Chain Planning Stock Management / Stock Control Replenishment Planning E-Commerce Operations Amazon FBA / Marketplace Operations Inventory Accounting Supply Chain Analysis Warehouse & Inventory Management A profile combining Amazon/e-commerce exposure, inventory planning, SKU-level analysis, replenishment, stock optimisation and strong analytical capability would be particularly relevant to this position.
