* Maintain the GAP management process to keep GAP's to a minimum
* Investigate and determine the cause of negative stock, to assist in the managing of stock loss and poor procedures in other areas of the business.
* Action all data reports as requested, ensuring full investigation and recommend solutions to improve.
Our ideal applicant:
* Preferably experienced in stocktaking, audit or stock integrity
* Able to work on ladders
* Good with detail
* Works on own initiative.
* Loves getting to the bottom of problems
* Adaptable
What's in it for you:

This role offers you the opportunity to be an integral part of a proudly Kiwi-owned and operated independent retail business. We are proud to offer an industry leading learning and development framework, opportunities to grow your career, a generous staff purchase scheme and all the tools required to perform the role.
