WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT Most retail operations roles stop at the shop door. This one follows the device the whole way: from stock point to DSR to customer, and back through repairs when something goes wrong. You will own that full loop, and your numbers show up directly in whether a customer gets their phone, and keeps it working. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Oversee daily operations across retail shops, depots and stock points to keep service smooth and consistent.
- Manage stock reconciliations, replenish understocked SKUs, and keep every active and newly onboarded DSR within approved minimum and maximum stock levels. - Coordinate aged stock returns, reallocations and lost phone reporting, and make sure reverse logistics procedures are followed. - Manage phone repair logistics so devices reach repair centres and return to customers within agreed SLAs. - Lead, coach and train Retail Coordinators, Stock Controllers and Shop Assistants on processes, products, systems and service standards.
