About the Opportunity
The Stock Controller position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Free State. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Odendaalsrus and across the retail jobs space.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the retail jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Day in the Life
Your day usually starts before the doors open, walking the floor, checking displays and making sure tills are float-ready. As customers arrive, you switch into service mode, moving between till points, fitting rooms and the stockroom, helping shoppers find what they need and keeping a quiet eye on shrinkage. By the afternoon, you might be receiving a delivery, training a new team member or planning the next promotion, and by close of business you’re cashing up, balancing reports and getting the store ready to do it all again tomorrow.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Odendaalsrus.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
