• Maintain and update department databases, spreadsheets, and ERP / WMS records.
• Support bulk buyer processes by identifying, documenting, and tracking stock for clearance.
• Ensure all PODs, repair reports, and supporting documents are filed correctly and are easily accessible.
• Analyse data to identify recurring issues, cost implications, and areas for process improvement.
• Liaise with warehouse, customer service, and finance teams to ensure smooth workflow and accurate reporting.

What You Bring

• 5+ years' senior administrative experience in a warehouse, distribution centre, or returns / repairs environment.
• Strong data capturing, reporting, and analysis skills.
• Advanced proficiency in MS Excel / Google Sheets and confidence in working with ERP / WMS systems.
• Experience in inventory control and repair process tracking.
• High attention to detail and accuracy with excellent organisational skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple deadlines.
