Job description
The Inventory Lead owns the accuracy and integrity of our inventory. Spare parts keep our fleet—and our drivers—earning, so maintaining accurate stock records has a direct impact on the business. You'll oversee the day-to-day inventory operation across our stores and warehouses, ensuring every part received, transferred, and issued is accurately recorded.
You'll lead a small store team, maintain strong inventory controls, and help build scalable systems that support our continued growth. This is a hands-on ownership role for someone who takes pride in getting the details right. If you enjoy bringing order to operations, being the trusted source of inventory accuracy, and building efficient processes as a business scales, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
Own the accuracy and integrity of inventory records within the company's inventory management system. Ensure every receipt, transfer, adjustment, and issuance is accurately recorded. Plan and oversee regular stock counts and cycle counts across stores and warehouses. Investigate inventory discrepancies and implement corrective actions.
Oversee the receipt, storage, and movement of goods while maintaining organized and secure storage areas. Maintain accurate and up-to-date product master data as the spare-parts catalogue grows. Lead, coach, and support a small store team while ensuring compliance with inventory procedures. Monitor inventory trends, identify risks or irregularities, and escalate issues where necessary.
Collaborate with Finance, Procurement, and Operations to maintain accurate inventory records and availability.
Requirements
Experience in inventory management, stores, or stock control, preferably within automotive, logistics, manufacturing, or operations. Experience using an inventory management or ERP system, with the ability to learn new systems quickly. Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy. High levels of integrity and accountability when handling valuable inventory.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to establish and enforce standard operating procedures. Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to motivate a team and collaborate effectively across warehouse operations and system administration. Experience leading or supervising a warehouse or store team.
A qualification in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field is an advantage. However, relevant hands-on experience is equally valued.
Benefits
A key role in a fast-growing, mission-driven company transforming mobility across Africa. Real ownership and responsibility from day one. The opportunity to build and improve inventory operations as the business scales. A collaborative, high-performance working environment. Competitive remuneration commensurate with experience.
