Website Vegan Wholesaler

Hi there,

We are looking for a fantastic stock control executive.

The successful candidate will be in charge of our stock levels, ensuring we have the right amount of stock available at all times.

Please note that you do not need to dominate this field before applying, but a serious interest and commitment to learn is key.

We’d like to find a motivated team member that can manage our stock levels by forecasting properly, checking expiring dates and placing Purchase Orders (POs).

Our ideal candidate is:

  • Kind and respectful (with everybody, at all times)
  • Honest and trustworthy
  • Proactive and hardworking
  • A natural problem solver
  • Capable of learning new skills quickly
  • A great communicator
  • Someone who likes being helpful
  • Like-minded and shares our values

  • A fluent English speaker (native or advanced). Additional languages are a plus.`
  • Confident with using Windows and other basic software
  • Someone who takes his/her job seriously
  • A resident and has the right to live and work in the UK

Also

  • Feels at ease with numbers
  • Is analytical
  • Is really well organised
  • Can keep things under control
  • Looks for information from multiple sources
  • Prioritises well using good judgement and common sense

About the role
The role involves managing our inventory via our software. You’ll need to create and send purchase orders, make sure that they arrive on time, and check invoices to match with POs.

You’ll be dealing with our suppliers, and you’ll need to ensure that effective and accurate communication is always in place. However, the role is not limited to this as there are other tasks that you’ll be required to perform.

The combination of repetitive and occasional tasks, both familiar and challenging will keep your days fresh.

You should know that we are lucky enough to have amazing suppliers. The vast majority of them are kind and respectful, just like us! 😉

Tasks

  • Monitoring Stock Levels and Best Before Dates regularly
  • Forecasting to place new orders
  • Creating and sending Purchase Orders (POs)
  • Ensuring POs have been received and delivery date is known
  • Scheduling delivery dates
  • Liaising with the Logistics team
  • Putting POs in stock
  • Submitting claims to suppliers, if applicable
  • Ensuring Invoices and Credit Notes are received

  • Keeping good record of Specs Sheets, Images and other documents
  • Dealing with new suppliers’ requests
  • Replying to emails promptly
  • Proactive problem solving
  • Keeping tasks well organised and under control

Please note that we do not expect you to know everything off the bat, but we do require you to learn quickly and execute every task at a high level. We’ll help you achieve this by providing you with comprehensive training and ongoing support.

This is NOT for you if:

  • You are looking for any job
  • You do not believe in our values
  • You are looking for a temporary job, including gap years
  • You have other projects in mind
  • You are not a hard worker
  • You do not like to take responsibility for your duties

At the end of the day, we all have to pay the bills – we get it!
But, there are other jobs out there that can suit you better, in that case.
We are looking for people that are not thinking only about the money.
