About the role

Requirements: minimum of OND/HND/Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Inventory Management, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Logistics or a related field; previous experience in inventory control, warehouse management, stock management, retail, pharmacy, FMCG or a similar environment is an advantage; good knowledge of stock-taking, inventory reconciliation and warehouse procedures; proficiency in Microsoft Excel and inventory management systems; strong numerical and analytical skills; excellent attention to detail and record-keeping; good organisational and time-management skills; high integrity, responsibility and accountability; and the ability to work effectively as part of a team and meet deadlines.

The vacancy was posted on 25 August 2026 and the stated application closing date is 30 September 2026. Apply early rather than waiting for the final day — many Nigerian recruiters begin shortlisting before the official close. The posting states a salary of NGN 70,000 – 90,000.

The role is full-time at Port Harcourt, Rivers. If you do not already live close by, be realistic about the commute — employers in this market routinely prefer candidates who can resume immediately and get to work reliably.

Line your CV up against the requirements the employer printed: Minimum of OND/HND/Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Inventory Management, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Logistics or related field; Previous experience in inventory control, warehouse management, stock management, retail, pharmacy, FMCG or similar (advantage); Good knowledge of stock-taking, inventory reconciliation and warehouse procedures. For each one, show concrete evidence — a certificate, a specific task you performed, or a result you achieved — rather than a bare claim. Name the exact tools and skills the posting mentions (Inventory management, Stock control, Warehouse procedures, MS Excel, Record keeping, Stock reconciliation) wherever you genuinely have them. Note that this posting is open beyond university graduates — the employer accepts OND, HND, Bachelor's degree — so do not talk yourself out of applying because you lack a degree.

Logistics and supply chain roles in Nigeria — warehousing, inventory, documentation, inbound and distribution — keep goods moving in a market where infrastructure can be unforgiving. Employers look for organised, process-minded people who can track items accurately, maintain records (often in spreadsheets, ERPs or warehouse systems), coordinate transporters, suppliers and customers, and solve problems when deliveries or paperwork go wrong. Warehouse and operations roles may demand physical stamina and flexibility with hours; documentation and coordination roles prize accuracy and attention to detail above all. Experience in clearing and forwarding, freight, e-commerce fulfilment or oil & gas logistics is a strong advantage in this sector. When you apply, be specific about the volumes and types of goods you have handled, the systems you have used, and any relevant certifications. Employers also value honesty and accountability, since losses and discrepancies are a constant risk.

**What the day-to-day looks like**

In practice, here is what the day-to-day is likely to feel like in this role: Accurate records are the backbone of the role — every movement must be traceable. Reorder-point monitoring prevents stock-outs that lose sales and overstocking that ties up cash. Receiving and inspection protect the company from supplier errors and damaged goods. Excel and inventory software proficiency directly affect your daily productivity. Beyond that, the pace depends on your team and the season of the business — month-end for accounts, festive periods for retail, admission periods for schools, and project milestones for construction and engineering — when priorities shift quickly.

**What happens after you apply**

Shortlisted candidates are contacted directly, so keep your phone reachable and check your email — including spam — regularly. Meanwhile, prepare for an interview: re-read the posting, know why you want this role, and have concrete examples ready for the key requirements. If you have not heard anything within about two weeks after the closing date, a single polite follow-up on the same channel you applied through is reasonable; if you applied by email, keep the same subject line so the recruiter can find your application.
