Jobspace Uganda Vacancy Summary
Marriott International is seeking an Assistant Cost Controller to strengthen inventory, purchasing and cost control across hotel food, beverage and retail operations. The role connects stock records, point-of-sale information, purchasing activity and physical inventory counts. It is suited to someone who can investigate variances carefully and explain what the figures mean for operational decisions.
Why This Role Matters
This is more than a stock-counting position. A competitive applicant should show how accurate inventory data protects hotel margins and reduces waste. Experience connecting purchase documents, received quantities, recipes or product usage to point-of-sale records will be especially relevant. In the CV, quantify the scale of stock handled where possible and describe a variance you investigated from identification to resolution.
Who Should Consider Applying?
- Inventory or cost-control staff from hotels, restaurants, retail or distribution environments.
- Accounts or stores professionals experienced in reconciliations and physical counts.
- Applicants comfortable working with purchasing, POS and inventory systems.
- Candidates who are methodical, discreet and willing to investigate unusual figures.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
- Conduct physical inventories and review product margins, consumption and usage patterns.
- Update purchasing, point-of-sale and inventory records accurately.
- Investigate price, quantity and measurement differences instead of merely recording them.
- Maintain reliable cost records and help ensure that stock is stored securely.
- Work with operating teams to keep inventory information current and useful.
Qualifications, Skills and Experience
- High-school diploma or GED equivalent is preferred.
- At least three years of related work experience.
- The employer does not list prior supervisory experience, a licence or a professional certification as mandatory.
- Applicants should nevertheless demonstrate confidence with stock records, calculations and operational systems.
How to Make Your Application Competitive
- Place inventory, cost-control and reconciliation experience near the top of the CV.
- Name the purchasing, POS, spreadsheet or stock systems you have actually used.
- Show one example of reducing a discrepancy, loss or recording error.
- Use the Marriott job number 26139229 when the application process requests it.
Questions to Prepare for Before an Interview
- How would you investigate a difference between physical stock and the system balance?
- What checks would you perform before accepting a change in an item’s cost?
- How have you maintained accuracy while working under an operational deadline?
