Inventory Manager at a Fast-growing Retail Business – Bave Design Studio

Job Title: Inventory Manager

Location:  Ikota, Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time, On-site

Description

• Our client, a fast-growing retail business, needs an Inventory Officer who treats stock accuracy as non-negotiable.
• You’ll own the day-to-day movement of stock across the store and warehouse, and make sure every product is counted, recorded, labelled and easy to find.
• This is not an entry-level role. We want someone who has run stock operations before and can show us how they did it.

What you’ll do

• Receive and inspect incoming deliveries, checking quantities and condition against invoices and purchase orders
• Record all stock movement accurately in the ERP or inventory system the same day
• Organise the stockroom and warehouse with clear location codes, labelled shelves and cartons, so any item can be found in under a minute
• Rotate stock using FIFO/FEFO and flag items close to expiry
• Run daily cycle counts and support full monthly stock counts
• Investigate and report discrepancies between physical and system stock, and help fix the root cause
• Process stock transfers between store and warehouse with proper documentation
• Monitor stock levels and raise reorder alerts before items run out
• Keep stock areas clean, safe and orderly at all times.

What you must have

• Minimum of 2 years’ experience in inventory, stock control or storekeeping in retail, wholesale or FMCG
• Hands-on experience organising a stockroom or warehouse (shelf locations, labelling, bin systems)
• Practical use of an inventory system or ERP (e.g. Odoo, ERPNext, Sage, QuickBooks, Zoho Inventory) or advanced spreadsheets
• Working knowledge of SKUs and barcodes
• Solid Excel or Google Sheets skills
• Excellent accuracy with numbers and an eye for detail
• Reliability, honesty and the discipline to follow processes every time
• Available to start immediately or within 2 weeks.

Nice to have:

• Experience with beauty, cosmetics, pharmacy or other expiry-sensitive products
• Experience setting up a warehouse or stockroom from scratch
• Experience training others on stock procedures.
