No extra effort, no extra trips, just everyday decisions that add up to real impact.
The Role
You’ll be the extra pair of hands (and eyes) that keep the hub humming. As an Inventory Assistant, your primary focus is efficiently and effectively staging orders for next-day deliveries. You’ll also work closely with the Hub Supervisor to ensure inventory levels are maintained without compromising on quality.

Efficient Staging: Helping stage customer orders and labeling products accurately (including initial picks and adjustments) with speed and precision.
Inventory & Quality Control: Assisting the Hub Supervisor in ensuring the hub is always stocked with enough product, while rigorously checking that all inventory meets our high quality standards.
Zone Cleanliness: Keeping all staging and storage areas—ambient, chiller, and freezer—immaculately clean, tidy, and organized.
Inbound Logistics: Assisting with unloading incoming deliveries, checking them for accuracy/quality, and restocking shelves.
Hub Maintenance: Supporting daily cleaning tasks, equipment checks, and logging waste accurately.
Our Expectations
To keep the hub running like a well-oiled machine, we expect all team members to hold themselves to the following standards:
The Metrics That Matter
Pick Accuracy: Above 99.25%
Pick Efficiency: Above 95%
Cleanliness: 0 missed cleaning checks per week across all staging areas
The Bottom Line: This is a hands-on, behind-the-scenes role for someone who loves order, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in being the quiet hero of the hub.
