Stores Analyst
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
A Stores Analyst at DHL supports accurate and efficient management of stock, materials and warehouse records. The role typically involves analysing inventory data, monitoring stock levels, investigating discrepancies, producing reports and helping improve stores processes. Candidates are expected to have strong Excel and data-analysis skills, good numerical accuracy and experience with inventory, warehousing, supply chain or enterprise systems such as SAP. Clear communication, organisation and attention to detail are important, as the role involves working with warehouse teams, suppliers and internal stakeholders. DHL will expect a proactive approach, the ability to identify process improvements, and a commitment to safety, quality and operational performance. Previous experience in a logistics or distribution environment is advantageous.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
