About this role

Salary: R23 000 – R25 000 per month

Remote Recruitment is hiring an Inventory Administrator for a UK-based employer, fully remote from South Africa.

Role overview

You'll keep stock records honest for a UK business — booking goods in and out, investigating variances, and making sure the number on the system matches the number on the shelf.

When the system and the shelf disagree, someone has to work out why. You will be the person who finds the answer rather than adjusting the number and moving on.

You will work UK business hours from home, as part of a South African team placed directly with established UK employers.

Key responsibilities

  • Record goods received and dispatched against purchase and sales orders
  • Investigate and resolve stock discrepancies with the warehouse team
  • Maintain product records, codes and units of measure
  • Prepare stock reports and support cycle counts
  • Flag low stock and slow-moving lines to the buying team
  • Keep supplier delivery documentation filed and traceable

What you'll need

  • Experience with stock, inventory or order administration
  • Confident in Excel or Google Sheets, including lookups and filters
  • Familiarity with an ERP or stock system such as Unleashed, Cin7 or Sage
  • Methodical approach to reconciling numbers that do not agree
  • Reliable, consistent data entry under volume

Nice to have

  • Exposure to cycle counting or stocktake processes
  • Experience in wholesale, retail or e-commerce operations
  • Understanding of landed cost or goods-in pricing

What's on offer

  • 100% remote, working from anywhere in South Africa
  • UK business hours, 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST)
  • Direct exposure to an established UK business
  • Long-term, stable placement with room to grow

Remote Recruitment places South African professionals with UK businesses for long-term, fully remote roles.
