Inventory manager

Inventory managers oversee the stock an organisation holds, balancing availability against cost. The work involves tracking and forecasting inventory, planning replenishment, managing stock levels and turnover, analysing data, and ensuring the right goods are available without tying up too much capital.

They work across retail, manufacturing, and distribution. The role suits analytical, organised, detail-oriented people who can manage and forecast inventory accurately, balance availability against cost, work the data and systems, and combine the analytical discipline of stock control with the judgment to keep operations supplied without waste or shortage.
