- Ensuring that Depot reporting requirements are understood and met so that managers have the supporting information that they need to guide their daily stocking decision making
- Tracking results in depot, measuring improvement and acting to ensure advice is implemented, escalating where appropriate
- Prioritisation of areas of focus must be provided to the Stock Support Manager, this requires strong working relationships with all managers to ensure that all needs are understood and assessed evenly, uninfluenced by personality

What will I need to qualify for Stock Support Analyst:

- Proven experience in stock/inventory management or similar positions within Supply Chains, Commercial departments or Product and Category structures
