What you’ll bring:
• Proven Experience: A solid background in administration, ideally within a
warehouse or logistics setting, with a focus on stock tracking.
• Technical Savvy: You must be highly PC literate, specifically with Microsoft
Excel; you should be comfortable producing data and reports using formulae
