A permanent Stockroom Controller is needed at Cape Union Mart’s Quay Four store in Cape Town. If you are organised, accurate and comfortable working behind the scenes of a busy retail store, this is a strong opportunity — but please note that applications close on October 30, 2026, so there is very little time left to apply.
About the company and the work
Cape Union Mart International is a well-known South African retailer specialising in outdoor and lifestyle clothing and equipment. Its stores serve customers who hike, travel, camp and spend time outdoors, so the stockroom has to keep a wide range of products moving smoothly from delivery to the shop floor.
The Quay Four store is based in Cape Town, and this role sits at the heart of its daily operations. Good stock control is what keeps shelves full, sales flowing and losses low, so the Stockroom Controller plays a genuinely important part in the store’s success.
Role details and duties
As Stockroom Controller, you will take charge of the store’s stock and support the wider team in serving customers well. Your work will include:
- Managing stock in the stockroom, from receiving and organising goods to keeping accurate records.
- Handling store administration and point-of-sale tasks as part of the daily routine.
- Helping to drive sales through excellent customer service on the shop floor.
- Merchandising products in ways that make the most of sales opportunities.
- Reducing stock loss effectively through careful control and attention to detail.
- Assisting and educating customers about products, so they leave with the right gear for their needs.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the advert are listed here:
- At least 2 years of administrative experience.
- Minimum maths literacy.
- Matric or an equivalent qualification.
- Maths literacy and Microsoft computer proficiency.
- A clear criminal record.
- The ability to communicate effectively.
- Knowledge of current clothing trends and the outdoor lifestyle, depending on the brand.
The advert also looks for behavioural strengths such as self-leadership, team collaboration, accuracy and detail orientation, taking ownership, good time management, building and maintaining relationships, innovation and adaptable thinking.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is listed on Careers24, and the Apply button on this page takes you directly to the original Cape Union Mart advert. Apply only through that official listing, and be cautious of anyone asking for payment in exchange for a job — a genuine application costs nothing.
Practical tips
Before you apply, make sure your CV clearly shows your administrative experience and your comfort with figures and computers. If you have retail or stockroom experience, highlight it, and mention any knowledge of outdoor clothing or lifestyle products. A short, neat CV that shows reliability and accuracy will suit this role well.
How the process works
Submit your application through the original Careers24 advert before the closing date. The employer will review applications and contact shortlisted candidates. Because the closing date is very close, it is worth applying as soon as your application is ready rather than waiting until the last day.
