• Liaise closely with production and procurement teams to forecast needs and prevent shortages or excess stock.
• Oversee goods-in and goods-out processes, ensuring compliance with SALSA and organic (Soil Association) standards.
• Support internal and external audits, maintaining all documentation and traceability records.
• Lead initiatives to reduce waste and improve warehouse efficiency.
• Produce accurate and timely stock reports for management review.
