This is a firm requirement, not a formality Comfortable with Shopify, spreadsheets and general business software Available three weekdays a week, with the occasional Saturday for stock counts.

You should be comfortable being responsible for money and records. Strong Microsoft Excel skills, in particular working with CSV imports and exports and familiarity with Excel functions and keyboard shortcuts What We Expect: Commit for at least a year. We invest in training you into the role and want someone who intends to stay. Accuracy is the job. Stock counts, payroll and expenses have to be right. This is a role where "roughly" is not good enough. Turn up on your scheduled days. The stores and the team depend on you being where you said you would be. Own the outcomes. Every part of this role has a measurable standard — clean stock variance, orders and repairs turned around on time, payroll accurate and on time. You will be measured against them. Integrity, without exception. You will handle high-value stock and outgoing company payments. We check references carefully and we mean it. Be based at our Ikeja store. This is an Ikeja role. You will visit our Lekki store roughly once a quarter for a stock audit; day to day, you are at Ikeja. Discretion. You will see payroll, staff records and financials. They stay confidential.
