Have you managed stock and inventory across more than one channel (wholesale, D2C, marketplace or dropship)?
Have you managed a 3PL or external fulfillment partner against agreed SLAs?
Are you confident using stock and inventory systems to produce regular reporting?
Mac Gregor Black is partnering with a fast-growing consumer goods brand in the gifting and housewares space on the search for a Stock and Inventory Manager based in Manchester.
This is a hands-on, deadline-driven role owning stock accuracy across wholesale, dropship, marketplace and D2C. You will manage the relationship with an outsourced 3PL warehouse and take direct responsibility for stock control, process discipline and inventory visibility as the business scales. The role is hybrid and includes one direct report.
Key Responsibilities- Own stock allocation across all revenue streams, balancing availability, priority and channel-specific requirements
- Hold the 3PL partner accountable for SLA adherence and for accuracy on goods in, goods out and stock holding
- Build and enforce stock control processes, including replenishment cycles, stock takes, discrepancy resolution and reporting cadence
- Hold deadlines across inbound and outbound movements, seasonal peaks and account-specific dispatch windows
- Report on stock regularly and flag stockouts, overstocks and allocation conflicts to SLT, working with merchandising, wholesale and D2C teams to align stock to forecasts and campaigns
- Manage and develop the Operations Executive, and document repeatable processes to replace ad hoc fixes
- Experience in a stock, inventory or warehouse management role, ideally across wholesale, D2C and marketplace channels
- A track record of building and enforcing process, not just reacting to problems
- Experience managing a 3PL or external fulfilment partner against SLAs
- Confidence with stock and inventory systems and reporting tools
- Experience managing a direct report, with high attention to detail and ownership of accuracy
- Desirable: a retail, ecommerce or product-based background, wholesale marketplace platform experience, and exposure to ERP or stock system migrations
