About The Role

We’re a multi-client 3PL running high-volume, fast-turn distribution. The Inventory Supervisor owns inventory accuracy and control processes across inbound, storage, and outbound. You’ll lead the IC team, drive root-cause fixes, and partner with Ops, Client Services, and Quality to hit SLAs and KPIs.

Responsibilities

  • Lead daily/weekly cycle counts, recounts, and location audits; close variances with documented root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
  • Monitor and improve inventory accuracy (units & locations), dock-to-stock timeliness, and shrink.
  • Manage quarantine/hold inventory, damages, adjustments, returns, RTVs, and aged/obsolete stock per client SOPs.
  • Reconcile WMS ↔ ERP (e.g., SAP/Oracle) exceptions; clear interface errors and post adjustments with proper approvals.
  • Own physical inventories (quarterly/annual): planning, staffing, execution, and reconciliation.
  • Optimize slotting, replenishment triggers, and storage utilization with data-driven recommendations.
  • Maintain and update SOPs/Work Instructions; train, coach, and schedule the IC team; handle performance feedback.
  • Publish daily/weekly KPI dashboards and variance reports; communicate risks and recovery plans to stakeholders.
  • Partner with Receiving/Shipping to reduce mis-picks, mislabeled pallets, and ASN/receipt discrepancies.
  • Ensure compliance with client requirements and site standards (5S, safety, HACCP/food-grade or pharma/lot control if applicable).

Requirements

  • 3–5 years inventory control experience in a 3PL or high-volume distribution environment; 1–2 years in a lead/supervisory role.
  • Strong WMS skills (Manhattan, Blue Yonder/JDA, Körber/HighJump, SAP EWM, or similar) and RF equipment knowledge.
  • Excel (pivots, lookups) required; Power BI/Looker/Tableau or basic SQL a plus.
  • Knowledge of cycle counting methods (ABC, control group), lot/serial tracking, and SKU master data hygiene.
  • Proven ability to run stand-ups, set priorities, and coach a diverse hourly team in a production setting.
  • Clear, concise communication with operators, leaders, and clients.
  • Work Environment & Physical Requirements
  • Warehouse environment; standing/walking up to 10 hours; lift/push/pull up to 40–50 lbs as needed.
  • Ability to work off-shifts/weekends during inventories or peak.
  • Occasional travel between regional sites (up to 10–15%).

Bonus Points

  • Warehouse/ 3PL/ Logistics experience.
  • Bilingual English and Spanish IS A BIG PLUS!
