You'll be the connective tissue between Warehousing, Customer Service, and Sales Operations, ensuring the right product is available, in the right place, at the right time.

What You'll Do

* Inventory Control & Accuracy: Maintain optimal stock levels; own cycle counts, reconciliations, and root‑cause analysis for variances.

* Process Improvement: Streamline replenishment, receiving, and put‑away processes; standardize SOPs; champion continuous improvement.
* Cross‑Functional Leadership: Serve as the primary interface for inventory topics with Warehousing, Customer Service, Sales Ops, and Purchasing.
* Systems Ownership: Leverage Microsoft Dynamics ERP (Great Plains) to manage item masters, reorder points, BOMs/kits (as applicable), and transaction integrity.

Required Qualifications

* 4+ years in Inventory Management, Supply Chain, or Operations within distribution, wholesale, or manufacturing.
* Microsoft Dynamics ERP experience-preferably Dynamics GP (Great Plains); Business Central or Navision also a plus.
* Proficiency with Excel (VLOOKUP's/index‑match, pivot tables) and operational reporting.
* Demonstrated success improving fill rate, reducing stockouts, and optimizing working capital.
* Strong communication skills; comfortable partnering with warehouse teams and customer‑facing functions.

Preferred/Bonus

* Experience with cycle count programs, ABC classification, safety‑stock modeling, and demand planning methods.
* Familiarity with Power BI or similar BI tools; SQL exposure helpful.
* Background coordinating with 3PLs or multiple warehouses.

Key Metrics You'll Influence

* Order fill rate & on‑time ship %
* Inventory turns & days on hand
* Stockout and backorder rates
* Forecast accuracy (MAPE/Bias)
* Shrink/variance and working‑capital tied up in inventory
