We’re looking for an organised, proactive and detail-focused Stock Coordinator to take a hands-on role in managing stock across The O2 Arena. Working across bars, concessions, hospitality areas, kitchens, cellars and stores, you’ll carry out regular stock counts, investigate variances, maintain accurate records and ensure corrective actions are completed. While some office-based reporting and analysis is required, the role is primarily operational and involves working closely with venue teams to ensure food, beverage and consumable stock is accurately controlled and available.

Trusted by some of the world's most iconic stadiums, entertainment venues, and major events ? from Wimbledon and Twickenham to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Edgbaston, the SEC and ExCeL London ? we bring experiences to life with passion and precision.

Our mission is to succeed the right way. From pioneering tech and seamless operations to show-stopping menus and exceptional service, we use insight and innovation to understand guests, improve the customer journey, reduce environmental impact, and support local communities.

We are a passionate, diverse team of venue specialists dedicated to making the planet better for future generations.

• Maintain high storage standards, including organisation, labelling, stock rotation, segregation, safe stacking and date-code compliance.

• Focus on reducing avoidable waste, loss and unexplained variances, particularly across high-value and fast-moving stock.

• Maintain accurate stock data, trackers and audit-ready documentation, using stock systems, POS data and Excel to identify trends.

• Support continuous improvement projects, including stock resets, process improvements and digital reporting solutions, while collaborating across Operations, Finance, Procurement and Logistics.

• Maintain high Health & Safety, food hygiene and personal presentation standards, while promoting a professional, respectful and supportive environment.

What we're looking for

• Experience in stock control, inventory management, hospitality operations or a similar environment, ideally within a high-volume or multi-outlet operation.

• Practical stocktake experience, with confidence working hands-on across outlets, kitchens, stores and storage areas.

• Highly organised, numerically confident and detail-focused, with a strong commitment to accuracy.

• Able to analyse stock data, identify trends and variances, and turn findings into clear, practical actions.

• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to build relationships and constructively challenge poor practice.

• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and comfortable using stock, inventory, POS and digital reporting systems.

• Good understanding of food and beverage stock processes, including receiving, transfers, requisitions, waste and reconciliation.

• Awareness of Health & Safety legislation and relevant compliance requirements; experience with Power BI, Power Apps or Power Automate would be desirable.
