Location: Llansamlet, Swansea | Full-time | Hands-on operational role | Competitive salary & benefits

Curveball is a Swansea-based multi-channel business spanning wholesale, e-commerce/retail, marketplaces, collectables and games publishing. We are looking for a hands-on Stock Controller to work alongside an existing Stock Controller and protect one of our most important assets: inventory. This is not simply stock-counting or desk administration: move between data and the warehouse floor, investigate discrepancies to root cause and improve the controls that keep stock accurate.

The role

  • Take ownership of stock and location accuracy across assigned warehouse areas and relevant external storage locations, working closely with the other Stock Controller to provide clear ownership and cross-cover.
  • Operate risk-based rolling cycle counts, physical checks and location audits, prioritising higher-value, higher-risk and recurring problem areas.
  • Investigate physical-to-system discrepancies to root cause, maintain clear evidence and ensure corrective actions are completed rather than repeatedly adjusting symptoms away.
  • Maintain robust control of damaged, quarantined, unidentified, missing and other exception stock and actively manage unresolved issues and ageing.
  • Maintain clear governance and audit trail around stock adjustments, transfers, rework and other stock-impacting transactions.
  • Audit stock-impacting warehouse processes and work with operational teams to prevent recurrence of errors.
  • Use ERP/WMS data, Excel and inventory KPIs to analyse high SKU volumes, identify material exceptions/trends and communicate risks clearly to Warehouse Operations and Finance.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

About you

  • Stock-control, inventory or warehouse experience with strong accuracy and follow-through; high-SKU experience is advantageous.
  • A hands-on approach: comfortable analysing data and then physically verifying stock, locations and process on the warehouse floor.
  • Strong attention to detail, integrity and an investigative mindset.
  • Confidence using ERP/WMS and Excel to filter, sort, reconcile and explain large inventory data sets. Business Central/HelmWMS experience is advantageous.
  • Self-motivated, proactive and curious: able to spot a risk, investigate it and bring forward a solution without waiting for detailed instruction.
  • Clear communication and the confidence to challenge appropriately when process or control standards are not being met.
