Job Ref:

JHB002286/NS

Date posted:

Thursday, June 19, 2025

Location:

Benoni, South Africa

Salary:

Negotiable Monthly

SUMMARY:
We’re on the hunt for a strategic, data-driven Senior Inventory Analyst / Stock Controller to take ownership of the end-to-end inventory processes within our fast-paced manufacturing operation. This is not a traditional stock controller role — this is a critical business function, ideal for someone with a deep understanding of stock flow, business performance, and process optimisation.
Your role will be pivotal in ensuring that stock doesn’t consume profit unnecessarily. You’ll work cross-functionally to identify risks, inefficiencies, and losses, and proactively implement solutions. You must work independently with complex data – no relying on IT to interpret it for you.

POSITION INFO:
Key Responsibilities:

Analyse and optimise inventory flow, usage, and holding across all production points.
Use tools like Power BI, DAX, and MS Queries to extract insights and report on stock performance.
Monitor and improve stock turns, ageing, and excess inventory risks.
Collaborate with planning and procurement teams to guide buying and forecasting decisions.
Drive process improvements to ensure stock is aligned to demand, avoiding loss through overstocking or obsolescence.
Present clear, actionable reports and insights to management to support business decisions.
Own and refine the stock reporting processes, proactively addressing inefficiencies.
Provide input into strategic planning, budgeting, and operational execution.

Requirements:

Degree in Business Management, BCom, Supply Chain, Strategic Management or similar.
Minimum 5–10 years’ experience in a senior inventory / stock control / supply chain analyst role.
Manufacturing industry experience is essential – please do not apply without it.
Advanced Power BI, DAX, MS Queries and Excel skills.
Strong business acumen – you understand how poor stock decisions impact profitability.
Exceptional ability to work with data – must be able to extract, interpret, and act without needing IT assistance.
Ability to communicate insights clearly and influence senior stakeholders.
A proven track record of reducing stock losses and improving inventory flow.

Who You Are:

A business-minded analyst who understands operations.
Proactive, solutions-driven and results-focused.
Confident working across departments and influencing change.
