Role: Inventory Control Analyst (Amazon FBA) Location: San Diego, CA 92101 (Onsite at Symphony Towers) Compensation Range: $125,000$150,000 DOE

At Luminize, we help brands win, and as one of the top 5 Amazon sellers by volume, we're looking for top performers to grow with us.

We're hiring a forensic-minded Inventory Control Analyst to own Amazon FBA reconciliation across thousands of SKUs. Our engineering team has already built the SP-API pipelines. We need someone to trace inventory from warehouse through FBA inbound, receiving, adjustments, returns, and removals, pinpoint where units fall out of the chain of custody, and drive corrective action. This is an ownership role, not a reporting role.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own reconciliation of inventory moving from our warehouse to Amazon FBA, WMS records, box-level contents, carrier handoff, and Amazon receiving events.
• Analyze FBA ledger data across receipts, returns, removals, disposals, and adjustments translating Amazon reason codes into business impact.
• Manage a structured exception queue covering shortages, misplaced units, damages, and aged variances requiring reimbursement follow-up.
• Identify recurring failure points and partner with Warehouse and Operations to implement stronger controls and audit checks.
• Build executive-ready dashboards for CFO, Accounting, and Operations showing dollars at risk, variance by root cause, and recovery opportunities.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Warehouse, Accounting, and Amazon Operations on data quality, process fixes, and case escalation.

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days):

• Weekly variance reporting quantifying unreconciled units and dollar impact by shipment, SKU, and root cause
• A repeatable reconciliation process for inbound shipments from the warehouse to Amazon
• Aging buckets and escalation rules for missing, damaged, lost, and unreceived units
• Executive-ready reporting that drives decisions, not raw data dumps

What You Bring

• Deep understanding of FBA inbound, receiving, adjustments, removals, and common variance drivers
• 3+ years Amazon FBA experience with inventory reconciliation, operations analytics, or inventory control experience
• Strong SQL skills and advanced Excel (Power Query, complex lookups, pivots)
• Forensic attention to detail, comfort with imperfect data, and a bias toward repeatable controls over one-off analysis
• Ownership mentality

Nice to Have

• High-SKU environments
• BI tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI)
• SP-API datasets
• Reimbursement workflows
• WMS data models
