Overview
CORT is seeking a remote, full-time Inventory Analyst to join our shared services team. As an Inventory Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in managing and analyzing inventory data to drive precision, optimize stock levels, and support strategic decision-making across the organization. You'll leverage your expertise in forecasting, analytics, and data visualization to transform complex information into clear, actionable insights that influence business outcomes.
