Monitor inventory-related system transactions and reports, proactively inspect and troubleshoot electronic discrepancies, data errors, and process breakdowns, escalating complex issues to IT or relevant stakeholders and ensuring timely resolution to avoid service or fulfillment impact. 4. Design, document, and refine inventory procedures and workflows, with a strong focus on automation and best practices (e.g., Lean, JIT), to increase efficiency, standardization, and scalability; lead or support implementation of new tools, system enhancements, and continuous improvement initiatives. 5. Balance and optimize inventory levels across divisions and locations through system-based transfers and adjustments; collaborate with supply chain, logistics, and planning teams to support accurate forecasting, capacity planning, and customer service commitments. Minimum Requirements 1. High school diploma, GED, or equivalent required; post-secondary education or relevant technical training in logistics, supply chain, or business operations is strongly beneficial for readiness in this role. 2.

Demonstrated proficiency using inventory management or ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, WMS) to record transactions, run reports, and troubleshoot basic system issues within a fast-paced operational setting. 4. Ability to analyze operational and inventory data using tools such as Microsoft Excel (including formulas, pivots, and data validation), and to interpret findings into clear, actionable steps for resolving discrepancies. 5. Strong organizational and time management capabilities, with proven experience managing multiple inventory tasks, audits, and deadlines while maintaining consistent accuracy and attention to detail. Preferred Requirements 1. Associate degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or a related field, or formal vocational training focused on warehouse and inventory operations. 2.
