Responsibilities

Job Title: Sr. Regional Inventory Manager

Position Summary:

The Sr. Inventory Manager is the strategic lead for Inventory Control ("IC") — setting direction, building process, and holding the function accountable to performance at scale. This role operates at two altitudes: owning KPI health, process strategy, and enterprise initiative execution while serving as the intermediary between DC operations and senior leadership at the corporate level. The Sr. Inventory Manager is accountable not just for their own output but for the collective performance and development of every IC team member. The right candidate thinks strategically, operates cross-functionally, and can walk a DC floor in the morning and present to an Executive Director in the afternoon with equal credibility.

Qualifications

Qualifications:

• Associate's or bachelor's degree in supply chain, logistics, business, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated work experience, preferred.

• 7+ years of progressive inventory control leadership experience within a high-volume, multi-DC distribution environment, including direct management of site-level IC managers.

• Proven track record of building and implementing IC strategy at scale, including SOP development, process improvement, and enterprise initiative rollout with measurable outcomes.

• Prior people management experience required, with demonstrated ability to develop IC leaders and hold managers accountable to KPI performance across a distributed team.

• Proven ability to influence outcomes across organizational levels without positional authority, from DC operations to corporate senior leadership.

• Executive presentation skills required; this role regularly prepares and delivers data-backed inventory performance narratives to Director and Executive Director-level audiences.

• Proficiency in Power BI or equivalent data visualization tools required; deep WMS proficiency required; NTS experience strongly preferred.

Preferred Skills:

• Demonstrated ability to identify cross-DC inventory patterns and build regional corrective strategies grounded in data rather than anecdote.

• Experience leading enterprise-wide cross-functional initiatives with corporate and DC stakeholder involvement.

• Equally effective at a strategic and tactical altitude, credible in an executive briefing and on a DC floor walk.

• Track record of developing high-performing IC leaders who have progressed within the organization.
