Stock managers work in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and retail stores where they responsible for monitoring product inventories to increase workplace efficiency. In addition, they are also in charge of handling incoming and outgoing shipments, resolving issues with damages and transfers, updating shipment schedules, and managing inventory databases.
As a manager, they also perform various administrative tasks, such as scheduling employee shifts, training new employees, creating monthly or daily reports, developing individual growth opportunities for employees, and communicating with clients, vendors, and upper management.
The role of a stock manager does not require higher education, but a bachelor's degree can be a plus. What's more important is work experience that involves managing stock or working with inventory, either in an entry- or mid-level position. Furthermore, an individual pursuing this role must have good skills in communication, people management, organization, and problem-solving. A stock manager typically works in the office of a warehouse or store and may spend a portion of their day in the actual stock area. They usually work on a 9-5 schedule and earn an average of $78,000 per year.
