About Us
At ITS, we’re proud to be one of the UK’s leading suppliers of tools, accessories, and related products – and we’re now entering an exciting new phase in the expansion of our retail store network.
We’ve recently launched a new store concept designed to give customers a more hands-on, engaging shopping experience. This refreshed approach is now being rolled out to new store locations across the country.
To support this next stage of growth, we’re looking for a Retail Stock Controller to act as the central point of control for all retail stock and inventory performance across our retail stores.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Retail Stock Controller, you’ll be responsible for managing and optimising the stock profile of each store to ensure the right products are in the right place at the right time – maximising availability, sales and stock efficiency.
You will play a key role in connecting stores, buying, commercial and marketing teams, using data and insight to drive stock decisions that support both sales growth and operational control.
