Description

What you'll do:

You will be part of a team managing our stock and availability effectively and efficiently. You will love numbers, and enjoy the challenge of continually trying to improve against targets. You'll communicate daily with your suppliers and challenge them to improve whilst working collaboratively.

We're really stepping things up this year, with no-end of new lines and a new approach to planning our promotional activity, which makes this a great time to join the team.


Day to Day

Leading. Your primary objective is to improve the availability of your range of parts, whilst also reducing the excess stock you carry. The devil is in the detail here and your eye for numbers will give you the advantage. We will be introducing a forecasting system next year so experience in this area will also be a benefit.


Support. Getting involved with other areas of the commercial team and the business to ensure a smooth stock in-take and ensure the optimal space utilisation is in the Distribution Centre network as well as promotional forecasting. Ensure the most efficient way to manage the discontinued stock back through the DC network by supporting an on-going Return To Vendor process.


Improving. Always looking to identify opportunities to enhance and develop our internal processes, to make sure we are always looking for efficiency and quality within the service we believe in.


Relationships. Ensuring that relationships are maintained to help liaise with the suppliers when it comes to any stock management issues.


This is a remotely based role with the requirement to travel to Bridgwater a couple of times a month.

What you'll bring:


Knowledge. You have experience working with stock management and inventory planning which will help define processes and lead our agenda.


Resilience. You remain calm under pressure and are at ease when working outside of your comfort zone in adverse situations.


Communication. You communicate clearly, confidently and articulately, making sure you show conviction to any audience. Building and maintaining relationships with internal and external stakeholders.


Hard work and passion. You're a lover of data with strong analytical skills and your experience of sales forecasting and stock ordering allows you to get behind the business. You are at home with Excel and can use it's broader capabilities to analyse data.


Yourself. Bring your whole self to work and let your true personality shine through


What you'll get:


Toolstation. The story so far.
We're one of Britain's fastest growing multi-channel retailers of tools, accessories and building supplies.

Backed by Travis Perkins plc, our freedom to operate as a nimble, entrepreneurial business means we're now well established and have even bigger plans.

The trade, home improvers and self-builders all trust us to deliver a lot more than tools.

So, our colleagues in our Head Office and Contact Centre in Bridgwater, at our Distribution Centres in Bridgwater, Middleton, Redditch and Daventry, and in our network of over 560 branches throughout the UK, work together to get the job done.

And with plans to open more branches this year.
