Inventory & Logistics Coordinator (On-Site)

Inventory & Logistics Coordinator

The Inventory & Logistics Coordinator is responsible for managing inventory levels at both the St. Clair and 26th St. locations to meet customer demand and seasonal needs, and for coordinating incoming deliveries and outgoing shipments to meet customer requirements. This role travels between the St. Clair and 26th St. facilities at least once per week and must be able to provide reliable personal transportation for that purpose. As part of a small manufacturing team, this person is expected to take on a variety of responsibilities across logistics, inventory, and purchasing. The Coordinator proposes production scheduling based on order volume and reviews it with the General Manager before it moves forward, and will participate in daily/weekly/monthly meetings to review orders and align on the schedule. This position requires a high level of detail and strong record-keeping skills, and works with a good degree of independence day to day, while checking in with management on decisions of larger consequence (e.g., changing vendors, finalizing the production schedule). The goal is to ensure appropriate inventory levels are maintained to meet customer demand and business needs. This position is required to be on-site at our Saint Clair location, with regular travel to the 26th St. location.
