Logistics & Supply Chain

K sh 90,000 – 160,000 gross / month

Openings: 1 Location: Nairobi – Industrial Area (Kampala Rd) Overview: Our client is looking for an Inventory Controller who treats numbers like living, breathing things because in this warehouse, accuracy isn’t a spreadsheet exercise; it’s survival. Sitting at the heart of a multi-client operation in Industrial Area, you’ll track every case, pallet, and scan, keeping FMCG and electronics flowing without a hitch. If you love order, hate unexplained variances, and can smell a misplaced pallet from fifty meters away, this is your stage. You’ll be the quiet hero behind service reliability and cash protection, the one keeping chaos out of stock counts and logic in every location tag. Key Responsibilities: - Own cycle-count calendar; investigate variances to root cause. - Audit locations, slotting, and BIN discipline; fix process gaps. - Reconcile WMS vs physical; approve write-offs/adjustments. - Analyze shrink causes (receiving, picking, returns). - Train teams on scan compliance and exception handling. - Publish weekly accuracy KPIs and action trackers. Education & Experience: - Diploma/Degree in Supply Chain/Business. - 3–5 years inventory control/WMS. Skills & Tools: - WMS, Excel/BI, problem solving, and documentation rigor. KPIs: - Inventory accuracy %, shrink %, cycle-count closure time. Compensation (Kenya): KES 90,000–160,000 + accuracy bonus. Figures are client estimates and vary with experience. Benefits: - Medical, PPE, lunch/transport stipend. Growth Path: - Senior Inventory Controller → Warehouse Manager → DC Manager. Ideal hierarchy and expected promotion cycle.
