• Assist with receiving, transfers, returns, damages, and inventory adjustments.
• Help identify and reduce inventory shrink.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and highly functional stockroom.
• Ensure inventory procedures are followed consistently.
• Support store operations during busy periods, including stocking and customer service when needed.
• Use inventory technology, POS systems, spreadsheets, scanners, and other tools as required.
• Communicate inventory issues clearly and proactively to management.
